Danilith Nokere Koerse presented the 2023 edition during a networking evening at Renson’s new inspiration park, NOA outdoor living.

The theme was ‘business meets sports’. A panel looked ahead to the next cycling year, featuring cycling phenomenon Dirk De Wolf, the owner of the strongest Belgian women’s team; Natascha Knaven-den Ouden, and also two entrepreneurs investing in cycling; Pieter Loose, CEO of Ekopak, this year’s sponsor of Patrick Lefevere’s team, and Joris van Rymenant, CFO of Dstny, the new partner of the Lotto team. All expertly guided by Sporza cycling commentator Renaat Schotte.

Chairman Robrecht Bothuyne also presented the 2023 edition. On March 15, ’23, there will be 2 top races again. The women’s edition is looking for a successor to Lorena Wiebes, who has won twice. virtually all women’s teams from the WorldTour have already registered. So that promises to be an impressive field of participants!

For the men, it is the 77th edition. Belgian champion Tim Merlier managed to win in 2022. The men will face more than 25 kilometers of cobblestones. Danilith Nokere Koerse aims to increasingly profile itself as a cobblestone classic.

New Corporate Identity

This is also made visible in the new logo and corporate identity, where the cobblestone plays a prominent role. The logo and corporate identity were developed in collaboration with AB Creation from Waregem, the new partner responsible for Danilith Nokere Koerse’s communication!

New Car Partner

Another new partner is Garage De Prins – Van Dorpe, which ensures that Danilith Nokere Koerse can now hit the road with Toyota. The two new partner cars are being put into use today. During the week of the races, more than 20 Toyotas will be on the road with officials, guests, race management, and so on.
