How to watch Amstel Gold Race – Spring Classics live streaming

The 2022 Spring Classics continue this weekend, with the Amstel Gold Race swapping slots with Paris-Roubaix due to French Presidential elections. If you're looking for a way to watch the action on the cobbles and the Ardennes we've put together a handy Classics live stream guide.

The series of one-day races in Belgium, France, and Italy packing the calendar through March and April bring four Monuments throughout the spring: Milan-San Remo, the Tour of Flanders, Paris-Roubaix, and Liège-Bastogne-Liège, but there's plenty of other racing to look forward to as well.

Following the majority of the cobbled Classics, this Sunday sees the start of the Ardennes Classics with the men's and women's Amstel Gold Race, the only major spring Classic held in the Netherlands.

Cyclingnews will bring you full reports, results, news, interviews, and analysis throughout the races. Read on to find out how to watch the spring Classics via live stream, no matter your location, with ExpressVPN.

The Ardennes Classics mean hills and as a result the routes for the Amstel Gold Race are packed with them - 33 for the men and 19 for the women.

The men will take on a 254.1km route from Maastricht to Valkenburg with almost non-stop hill climbing along the way. There are three passes through the finish line before the end, including three climbs of the famous Cauberg hill to boot. The final sees the riders take on the Bemelerberg on the way to a flat finish in Valkenburg.

The women tackle a 128.5km route including three passes through the finish and a slightly different finale with the Cauberg the final obstacle before a downhill run to the line, with the peloton having taken on the climb three further times before the end.
