2022 Belgian Road Cycling Cup

The 2022 Belgian Road Cycling Cup (known as the Exterioo Cycling Cup for sponsorship reasons[1]) is the seventh edition of the Belgian Road Cycling Cup. With the inclusion of the Dutch races Ronde van Drenthe and Veenendaal–Veenendaal, this marks the first season in which the Belgian Road Cycling Cup includes races outside of Belgium.[2][3]

The defending champion is Tim Merlier of Alpecin–Fenix.[4]

Events edit

The event schedule was revealed on 9 February 2022.[2] With respect to the previous season, the Grote Prijs Jef Scherens, Halle–Ingooigem, the Schaal Sels, and the Memorial Rik Van Steenbergen were removed, the last three of which were not held in 2021 for various reasons, resulting in the 2021 season only having eight races. These four races were replaced with the Ronde van Drenthe,[5] the Veenendaal–Veenendaal Classic, the Elfstedenronde, and the Circuit Franco–Belge[6] to keep the total number of races at eleven, all of which are also part of the 2022 UCI Europe Tour.[2][3]
