Eurostar to Brussels, then choose the starting point of your tour and get the train there (you get free onward travel to your destination in Belgium as part of the Eurostar ticket). Oudenaarde is the obvious destination but it gets very busy around the RVV weekend. Gent is probably a better option (and fuck Bruges, that is Disneyland Flanders for old people). There’s a canal side bike route out to Oudenaarde from Gent. The climbs made famous by the race are all a short distance from Oudenaarde. It’s easily rideable back to Brussels. So you could always overnight in Gent, ride out to see the race on Sunday, then ride back to Brussels to get Eurostar home again.
