The Amstel Gold Race – the only Classic held in the Netherlands – is the youngest of the Spring Classics, and was first contested in 1966. Together with La Flèche Wallonne and Liège-Bastogne-Liège, it is part of the iconic 'Ardennes Trilogy' — three races loved by the featherweight climbers after a punishing couple of months on the cobbles.

Amstel Gold Race 2026 Preview
The 60th edition of the Amstel Gold Race will take the peloton across 257 kilometres of relentlessly hilly Limburg countryside, tackling 33 punishing climbs from the start in Maastricht to the summit finish in Berg en Terblijt.
The almost 3400 meters of climbing includes vicious ascents such as the Gulperberg, the Kruisberg, the Eyserbosweg, the Geulhemmerberg and of course the world-famous Cauberg. One after another the hills arrive to hammer the legs of the riders with only the strongest left standing to contest the sprint finish.
With Tom Pidcock sidelined due to a serious knee injury he picked up at the Volta a Catalunya, the out-and-out favorite for the win is Remco Evenepoel, the two-time Olympic champion and the 2022 world champion. This is a race he would dearly like to add to his already glittering palmeres however, even in the absence of Pidcock he faces strong opposition.
His principle rivals will be Ben Healy, Giulio Ciccone, Brandon McNulty and of course last year's winner, Mattias Skjelmose, who took the win of his life last year beating both Tadej Pogačar and Evenepoel in the three-up sprint finish.
