Bertrix ITT is a one day race in southern Belgium near the famous Ardennes forests. Though this course is largely flat, it would be naïve to believe that it does not have the odd hill.

The time trial starts in the centre of Bertrix and heads out north east until it hits Neuvillers. There are several short sections of 5% inclines but nothing that should trouble any of the pure timetrialists.

The time trial the loops back across small country roads that so characterise the more famous Ardennes races. The roads remain gently undulating but the final 3 kilometers have some more serious hills including a 1.5km 6% average climb back into the centre of Bertrix.

The race is the hunting ground for wins by those who consider time trialling their discipline but the final kick up to the finish line means there are plenty of bitten nails by the end of the day as cyclists nervously wait for the next challenger to their lead to come in.
