What to expect from the Amstel Gold Race

The Amstel Gold Race heralds the end of springs cobbled classics and the start of the hillier Ardennes one-day races. Amstel takes place in the Limburg region in the south of the Netherlands and forms part of the Ardennes triptych of races that includes La Fleche Wallone and Liège-Bastogne-Liège.

This year's Amstel Gold Races take place on Sunday April 20. Both men's and women's races start in Maastricht near the Belgian border, and finish just 17 kilometres to the east in Valkenburg. The men cover 256kms and 34 named climbs - or Hellingen in Dutch - while the women cover 157kms and 22 climbs.

Despite that amount of climbing, and its place among the Ardennes races, Amstel Gold is something of a transitional classic and has been won by cobbled specialists and Grand Tour winners alike. Recent editions have been won by Wout van Aert and Mathieu van der Poel as well as Tadej Pogačar. Similarly the women's race has been won by Marianne Vos and Demi Vollering.

Favourites include Vollering, Pogačar, Elisa Longo Borghini, Tom Pidcock, Lotte Kopecky and Wout van Aert.
