This Sunday, the only Dutch classic, the Amstel Gold Race, will take place between Maastricht and ... the Rijksweg in Vilt. Indeed, since 2013, the finish is no longer on top of the Cauberg in Valkenburg but at the same location as where the finish of the 2012 World Championships races was.
The Amstel Gold Race 2019 - which will be the 54th edition - race route is a bit different from last year, especially for the final lap, but the race still has all its climbs, 35 to be precise, which allows it to be a UCI WorldTour race (in 2011 it went up from 31 to 32 and in 2012 back down to 31, before going up to 34 in 2013 and now thus 35 since 2017).

You can find all the details about the 257 kilometers long race route and the 54.5 kilometers of cobble stones in the article:
The queen of the classics, Paris-Roubaix 2019, will take this Sunday. For the 117th edition of the race, the organisor chose to slightly modify last year's race route: the start is a bit different, but this time also the 6 first cobble stones sections, between Troisvilles and Verchain-Maugré. The number of sections however remain the same (29) and there will still be a total distance of 54.5 kilometers of cobbles. The total distance of the race also remains the same, 257 kilometers.
In the Hell of the North a small problem can however come disturb a rider's race, while others can be lucky. Nothing's thus defined beforehand and it'll be this Sunday on the cobbles that we'll see who manges to win the race ... which doesn't have a big favourite this year!
