This year, the event takes another step forward. A brand-new competition arena, Dansaert, joins the iconic Grand Place and Sablon arenas, bringing even more action to the Brussels Stephex Masters. Event director Ellen Van Guyse explains: “The names of our arenas pay tribute to Brussels’ most vibrant districts, celebrating the city’s rich heritage. More arenas means more opportunities, more riders, and more unforgettable moments.”
