T-Mobile for Amstel Gold Race

The ProTour carnival moves north to the Netherlands this weekend for the 41st running of the Amstel Gold Race, the race that goes against the notion that the Netherlands are entirely flat.

"All three have shown in recent races that they have the form to do something."
