Let us take care of your trip so you can focus on the event.

LBL marks the end of the Ardennes Classics period usually as Amstel Gold, Fleche Wallonne and LBL follow on from each other in a week. It also spells the end of the Spring Classics season as the next stop is the Giro d’Italia for many of the riders.
The professionals ride on Sunday and on Saturday it’s the turn of amateur riders to ride their LBL Challenge.
