How to watch the Amstel Gold Race 2025
The Ardennes week kicks off in flamboyant fashion this weekend at the Amstel Gold Race. Yes, the days of riding on cobblestone roads are over and done with, allowing the race calendar to turn its focus towards the green hills of Benelux.
Named after the popular Amsterdam-based beer, the men’s and women’s Amstel Gold offer a tricky lasso-like profile through the Netherlands’ hilliest province, Limburg. Clocking up a total of 157km for the women and 253km for the men, the Amstel Gold will be decided by the climbs of the Cauberg, Bemmelerberg and Geulhemmerberg.
Last year, Marianne Vos managed to fly under the pre-empted arms of a celebrating Lorena Wiebes to take the shortened women’s race in chaotic form. Later that afternoon, Tom Pidcock banished his Ineos woes to take his only road victory of 2024 ahead of Marc Hirschi and Tiesj Benoot.
This weekend, the start list is even more star-studded with Remco Evenepoel back on the start line of a WorldTour race in 2025. Alongside him, we’ll see 2023 winner Tadej Pogačar and a vengeful Wout van Aert go tête-à-tête up the Cauberg. In the women’s race, Demi Vollering makes her return to road racing after a month-long hiatus, with Elisa Longo Borghini, Lotte Kopecky, Pauline Ferrand-Prévot and reigning champion Vos all expected to be in contention.
