Maastricht - Valkenburg 251 km
33 climbs with 4000 m of total climbing adds up to a brutal race in the end. With the new finish just after the Cauberg this is pretty damn near a perfect course for real racing.
Taking the beers: Alejandro Valverde
Having blundered here in the past he probably beats out the bigger favorites and gets it right this time.
