Like last year, Remco Evenepoel and Mattias Skjelmose found themselves in the lead at the end of the Amstel Gold Race to go for victory in the Amstel Gold Race. This time, there were only two of them, in the absence of Tadej Pogacar. And it was the Belgian who showed himself the most powerful to win this race for the first time and ideally launched the Ardennes classics this year.
At the top of the Cauberg, the two men had let go of the Frenchman Romain Grégoire to engage in a hand by hand which turned to the advantage of the Belgian in front of the Dane after 40 kilometers of collaboration. Frenchman Benoît Cosnefroy finished 3rd ahead of his compatriot, Romain Grégoire (Groupama – FDJ United), 4th.
