How to watch the Ardennes Classics

Paris-Roubaix signalled the end of the cobbled Classics, but the one-day action continues into the hills of southern Belgium and the Netherlands with the Ardennes Classics. After De Brabantse Pijl and the Amstel Gold Race last week, this week it's time for La Flèche Wallonne on April 23 – and its vicious finish on the Mur de Muy – in mid-week ahead of Sunday's Liège-Bastogne-Liège – the fourth of cycling's five Monuments.

Watch cycling from anywhere

Away from home when the races are on? That doesn't mean you have to miss out...

Many streaming platforms these days are geo-restricted, meaning they'll only work in certain countries, but assistance is on hand, in the form of a VPN. A Virtual Private Network – to use the full name – is a piece of software that lets you alter your device's IP address to make it appear to be in any country in the world, therefore unblocking the streaming services you use back home.

It's great for watching cycling on the move, and the added benefit is that VPNs provide a huge boost to your internet security. Our colleagues over at TechRadar know everything there is to know about VPNs and they rate NordVPN as the best VPN out there right now.
