How to watch the Amstel Gold Race 2024
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 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, as part of her spring symphony, Demi Vollering (SD Worx) took the women’s title in a rainy Valkenburg. Later in the afternoon, Tadej Pogačar faced little opposition in the Dutch hills as he cruised to victory in his debut Amstel Gold Race.
How to watch men’s and women’s Amstel Gold 2024
With a stacked startlist for the women’s race and another chance to ‘witness greatness’ from Tadej Pogačar and Mathieu van der Poel on the men’s side — you won’t want to miss the grand overture to the Ardennes classics on Sunday 14th April.
The 2024 Amstel Gold races will be available to watch in the UK on Eurosport and Discovery+ for £6.99 per month with the basic package, which includes cycling and all other Eurosport programmes. It will also be shown on the TV channel Eurosport 1 in the UK.
If it’s not being shown in your country, you may be able to watch coverage using a VPN – Virtual Private Network – which allows users to mask their IP address and watch geo-blocked content, provided they don’t need to pay for a subscription. This is also helpful for watching paid-for coverage while travelling abroad in countries without access.
One such example is ExpressVPN, which is very well reviewed, helps users to find way to watch cycling without having to pay for broadcasters services, and costs £5.36 per month, with three months free. Other options include NordVPN, Surfshark and Kapersky.
