De Brabantse Pijl and Amstel Gold Race highlight this week's events in cycling, as the riders transition out of the cobbled classics and into the Ardennes. On the 17th and 19th of April the peloton tackles the two classics. Here is when and where to watch the races live and on TV, including in the USA and UK.

The first edition of the De Brabantse Pijl took place in 1961 and was won by the legendary Pino Cermani. This is a race that has accumulated an enviable list of winners including Eddy Merckx, Roger de Vlaeminck, Johan Museeuws and Philippe Gilbert some of Belgium's most notable icons. Amongst the list are many other World Champions including those of the 21st century such as Óscar Freire, Peter Sagan, Mathieu van der Poel and Julian Alaphilippe.

This decade we've seen Alaphilippe, Tom Pidcock, Magnus Sheffield, Dorian Godon, Benoît Cosnefroy and most recently Remco Evenepoel take the wins. 12 months ago the Belgian took the win over Wout Van Aert in the final sprint.

The Amstel Gold Race's first edition was in 1966 when Frenchman Jean Stablinski took the victory in the streets of Limburg. Only a few years later, Eddy Merckx would go on to take two wins. Jan Raas famously took five wins - almost all consecutive in the 70's and 80's, with none other than Bernard Hinault interrupting that streak. Joop Zoetemelk and Adrie van der Poel also won here for the Dutch, and of course the latter's son Mathieu took a memorable win back in 2019 that transcended fans of the sport.

It is a hilly race but one which was not always decided amongst the classics specialists, with Erik Zabel featuring amongst the winners list. However many big names were crowned here, with Philippe Gilbert being nicknamed the king of the Cauberg back when the climb was at the finale of the race. Nowadays it is more open, but the list of winners have, if anything, only become even more prestigious.

Wout Van Aert, Michal Kwiatkowski, Tadej Pogacar, Tom Pidcock and Mattias Skjelmose have taken the most recent wins. In 2025, the Dane took an astonishing win, beating Pogacar and Remco Evenepoel in a three-up race in what was the highlight of the Ardennes.
