The Grand Prix Criquielion is a European single day cycle race held each year in and around the Belgian village of Deux-Acren.[1] The race was first organized in 1991 in honour of Claude Criquielion, who had announced his retirement that same year and was also the first winner of the race.[2] The race was organized as a 1.2 category event on the UCI Europe Tour until 2023 when it upgraded to 1.1 status.[3]
