The Belgian National Road Race Championship is a cycling race which decides who will become Belgian national champion for the year to come. The men's record for most wins is currently held by one of the most successful Belgian sprinters, Tom Steels, who managed to take four road championship titles.
The winners of each event are awarded with a symbolic cycling jersey, which is black, yellow and red, like the national flag. These colours can be worn by the rider at other road racing events to show their status as national champion. The champion's stripes can be combined into a sponsored rider's team kit design for this purpose.
The following riders that have managed to win the Elite race more than once.
The first amateur championship was contested in 1882. In 1947 it absorbed the former junior category (19 to 22 years). In 1966 this category took the name "international amateurs" when the category of independents disappeared. The "Elite without contract" category replaced the international amateurs in 1996. From that date, riders aged 19 to 22 contest the Under-23 championship, also called "espoirs".
