With the Tour of Italy behind us, it is now time to see the Critérium du Dauphiné 2019 start from the Cantal department and more precisely from the city Aurillac. This will be the 71th edition of this race which is considered by some riders as the ultimate preparation race for the Tour de France (the organisor of the race now by the way even uses the subtitle "on the way to the Tour de France by the way; others will prefer the Tour of Switzerland which will start on 15 June) and it is made up of 8 stages of which one will be an individual time trial (the 4th stage, in the middle of the week) for a total distance of 1202.1 kilometers.

The Amstel Gold Race 2019 race route on Open Street Maps/Google Earth and the time- and route schedule
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). In this article you'll find the time- and route schedule and the race route on Open Street Maps (similar to Google M ...

Paris-Roubaix 2019: its race route, its cobble stones sections and other details of the Hell of the North
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!
