The entire cycling world is focused on Flanders where the heavy guys prepare themselves for one of the biggest battes on the cobbles. Meanwhile, the lighter riders are preparing themselves for the next part of the classics season in the Ardennes and some of them will test their conditon in Saturday's Volta Limburg Classic. Starting at 14.30 CEST, you can follow the race on CyclingQuotes.com/live.

The Volta Limburg Classic is the perfect preparation for Amstel Gold Race. It takes place in the Dutch Limburg province which is also the scene of the big Ducth classic, and it includes many of the same climbs. In recent years, the race has often been decided in a sprint from a reduced peloton but this year the organizers have moved the final climbs closer to the finish, meaning that it should be a more selective affair.

The home team LottoNL-Jumbo line up with a strong team that includes Wilco Kelderman and Steven Kruijswijk while BMC is the second WorldTour team in the race and will be led by the talented Dylan Teuns and Ben Hermans. Enrico Battaglin, Sonny Colbrelli, Davide Rebellin, Grega Bole, Damiano Cunego, Linus Gerdemann, Fabian Wegmann, Francesco Gavazzi, Mauro Finetto and Simone Ponzi are all strong in this hily terrain and will make sure that there are lots of formidable winner candidates in the race.
