Valkenburg - Blerick - Amstel Radler, Tour de Hollande

We leave the deep south of the province and drive almost all day along De Maas (La Meuse) up towards Venray. After the tough climbing of yesterday and the day before yesterday, the altimeters to be bridged are not too bad. We drive almost all day through the beautiful farmland, with the cows and sheep as spectators. It's a relatively short drive. The days will count, it is the eighth consecutive day in the saddle. Via places like Born, Echt, Horn and Panningen we arrive in Blerick, close to Venlo. Here we look at the denouement in the Tour de France on the Wall of Brittany.
