The Omloop van het Hageland is an elite women's professional road bicycle race held since 2007 in the Hageland area of Belgium. Originally a 1.2 rated race by the UCI, it is now a 1.1 category race.[1] Before 2011 the race was a criterium of category 1.NE and was called Tielt-Winge (Wielertrofee Vlaanderen).
The race route is usually flat with a few stretches of cobbles and the repeated ascent of the Roeselberg. The race can be won by sprinters and breakaway groups.[2]
