Reminder: Tro-Bro Léon & Amstel Gold on Sunday

[MattTuck]

We're into the final stretch of the classics season. Our attention now pivots to the 'Ardennes', and this oddball race called Tro Bro Leon. Amstel Gold this weekend, Fleche Wallone next Wednesday and Liege-Bastogne-Liege next Sunday.

It's too bad Tro Bro doesn't get as good of a field as bigger races-- it's a really, really cool course. Amstel's not so bad, either.

Piti Valverde is apparently not racing Amstel

I love Tro Bro Leon. One of my favourites :)

One of my employees is in Netherlands for three weeks and will be sending me pics of Amstel on Sunday.... I'll share any good ones I get!

Eurosport actually showed Tre Bon Leon; may even available as replay

[oldpotatoe]

Of those who raced Amstel today, will race F-W on Wednesday and then L-B-L on Sunday?

[echappist]

Steephill should have those; but best bet is go to the ASO website for startlists

Howdy folks.

I saw part of Amstel Gold live, dozed off and missed the ending. It was recorded on beIN a day later, so I was able to see the ending. I have not been able to find any links for the 2016 Tro Bro Leon. Has anybody else found anything?

Thanks, Doug

Doug, I don't have anything for you. But I've been noticing this year that the races aren't getting uploaded to youtube as quickly as they were in the past. Not sure if the broadcasters are being more strict about it, or what. It is a bummer, though.

Won't get a chance to watch it for a while yet, but this appears to be good coverage of Tro Bro Leon 2016: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x45bghu.
