Gazprom — RusVelo is to start the autumn part of the season with two one-day races: Brussels Cycling Classic on the second of September and GP de Fourmies on the third.

First run in 1893 as Paris-Brussels, the Belgian event has undergone several significant changes a few years ago, such as a new name – Brussels Cycling Classic – which led to the race being held entirely on Belgian territory.

UAE Team Emirates has two events coming up in Belgium and France. On Saturday, September 2nd, they will compete in the Bruxelles Classic (201.3 km) and on Sunday, September 3rd, they will ride in the Gp Fourmies (205 km).
