AMSTEL GOLD RACE

18 APRIL 2019 PODIUM 1st Mathieu van der Poel 2nd Simon Clarke 3rd Jakob Fuglsang

The first of the hilly classics offers more than a challenge than just relentless climbing, though that in itself would be enough. Amstel defines itself by the complexity of its roads and the constant changes of direction. The move away from the Cauberg finish recently has revitalised the race, which is now one of the season’s highlights.
