With the cobbled Classics season behind us, the men's and women's pelotons have decamped to the hills of the Ardennes to take on the Ardennes triple – the recent Amstel Gold Race in the Dutch province of Limburg, and the Walloon double of La Flèche Wallonne and Liège-Bastogne-Liège.
Each race has a different character, and very different parcours, though all feature a host of hills suited to the climbers and puncheurs of the peloton.
