Spring Classics 2027 with Stuart O'Grady

This 11-day journey follows Stuart O'Grady back to the roads that shaped his career, twenty years after his 2007 Paris–Roubaix victory. Guests ride through the heart of Flanders and the Ardennes before finishing at Roubaix, taking in famous climbs and cobbled sectors including the Paterberg, Mur de Huy, La Redoute and Carrefour de l'Arbre, with VIP race-day access to both the Tour of Flanders and Paris–Roubaix.

The itinerary combines riding (a warm-up ride, an Ardennes riding block, and Roubaix pavé recon before a Paris–Roubaix sportive) with race-day hospitality, hotel and luggage transfers between Oudenaarde/Waregem, Namur and Kortrijk, and support vehicles throughout.
