Racing on the cobbles could not have been more exciting last weekend at Paris Roubaix races. Mathieu van der Poel and Tadej Pogačar went head-to-head at the front of the men's race, until the reigning World Champion slipped out in a corner and then flatted, leaving Van der Poel to claim a third Paris-Roubaix. On the women's side at Paris-Roubaix Femmes, Pauline Ferrand-Prévot won in her debut at the Spring Classic. Now racing begins a three-set match at the Ardennes Classics, with the first events on Sunday at Amstel Gold Race and Amstel Gold Race Ladies Edition.
Amstel Gold Race and Amstel Gold Race Ladies Edition are the only Classics in the Netherlands, and feature a return of the iconic Cauberg climb, which the men will ascend three times and the women will go two better with five passes.
Last year Tom Pidcock (Ineos Grenadiers) won the men's race and he returns with Q36.5 Pro Cycling. The women's champion, Marianne Vos (Visma-Lease a Bike), returns and is on the hunt for her third victory in Valkenburg.
The race will be available on several platforms across the world, with live streaming options as well. Read on for all the details on how to watch Amstel Gold Race and Amstel Gold Race Ladies Edition online, on TV, and from anywhere.

How to watch Amstel Gold Race from anywhere
Travelling outside your home country during Amstel Gold Race and Amstel Gold Race Ladies Edition? Don't worry about the geo-restrictions most streaming platforms use. You can always employ a VPN for a safe way to access your streaming accounts from another country.
A Virtual Private Network is a piece of software that sets your IP address to make your device appear to be in any country in the world. Provided it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, you can use a VPN to unblock your usual streaming services from anywhere in the world. What's more, it helps with playback speeds and is a huge boost for your general internet security.
There are loads of great VPN options out there, but our colleagues at TechRadar say NordVPN is the best overall for its streaming capabilities, security features, and price.
