Watching L-B-L live...how to?
Hopefully some of the guys in Belgium or Holland can help me out here.
My wife and I are thinking of taking a short vacation up to the Benelux countries this weekend and I'd like to catch a few sections of L-B-L. We would probably be staying in/near Brussels or would come down from Amsterdam for the day. Can anyone recommend any maps, tips, etc on the best way to view the race? We will most likely have our car. thx Kit |

Sorry, no master tips, I never went to see it live. The cross roads (carrefour) at Baraque de Fraiture seems a good (and accessible) vantage point, but it's still very early in the race. See http://www.cyclingnews.com/road/200...3/lbl03/?id=map If you get there early, try and get a spot on La Redoute; often decisive. Other "côte"s are good too. |

Look at the course map from there and possibly take E9 southbound which will line you up for Bastogne. Stavelot is a recommended spot to spectate. -- le Vent a Dos Davey Crockett Six-Day site: http://members.rogers.com/sixday/sixday.html |

Re: Watching L-B-L live...how to?
can't give you tons of details, but i would forget about leaving from
amsterdam. it something like a 4-5 hour drive there. why not stay in liege - if you could find a hotel? otherwise, do the brussels option.
