Another familiar Benelux Tour route takes place this Saturday through Belgian Limburg, with the circuit skirting the Meuse, which separates beautiful Maastricht from the area where the race unfolds.
The riders tackle four climbs over three laps: Sur les Coteaux, Gousbeemdstraat, Brugstraat and Letenberg. On the final two laps, they are combined with Slingerberg, a regular climb in the Amstel Gold Race.
As usual in this area, north of Liège, the gradients are shorter than those in the Ardennes, so a sprint cannot be ruled out. The finish, however, is clearly uphill.
Bonuses
There are 10-6-4" bonuses at the finish and 3-2-1" bonuses at the three Green KM sprints in each stage.
