Valkenburg

W- with one outstanding exception.

Uh, now the Netherlands has previously staged the event, uh, seven times, uh, usually in Valkenburg, uh, down in Limburg which is a bit more undulating.

Uh, but uh, this time obviously it's in two of the flattest provinces in the Netherlands, which is really saying something.

But, uh, yeah, the, the one place where they will be able to get out of breath is, uh, the legendary Côte du Famme, otherwise known as-

of those was in 2009.

11 or 12 when it was in Valkenburg in Holland and I remember doing that getting 8th and I was like great it's only up from here didn't get back into the top 10 until 2019 in Harrogate where I got 5th and then realised by that point it was actually quite hard to get into the top 5 top 10 of a world championship so yeah Yeah, and I did it multiple times.

I did it a number of times.

Qatar one, I did Richmond, I didn't do the one in Norway because it finished with a mountain more or less.

We haven't been.

Valkenburg.

Valkenburg, that's what I was thinking

of.

Valkenburg is pretty.

Okay,

so it's the biggest for sure.
