The best non-monument race, which should by now be a monument. It's always exciting and hard racing, with lots of gravel and climbing.
Vollering is returning to defend the title. Vos is just fresh from her win in Omloop after beating Kopecky in the sprint. Who will have the upper hand?
Notable...
The best women are back from Amstel Gold. Last year it was Cavalli who overpowered Van Vleuten on the line, followed by Vollering 10 seconds behind. But this year the roles might be reversed. The queen of Mur De Huy retired, Anna can der Breggen won it 7 time in succession.
Notable riders...
Most of the women favorites are back racing the Amstel Gold. Can Cavalli repeat her last year's feat and win it? Can Vos repeat her 2021 victory? I'm sure SD Works will not want that to happen.
Notable rider: Cavalli, Vos, Van Anrooij, Van Vleuten, Vollering, Longo Borghini, Persico, Kopecky...
Will SD Worx dominate again? Vollering just won Dwars and the defending champion is Kopecky.
Notable riders: Van Vleuten, Wiebes, Longo Borghini, Vollering, Kopecky. Lippert, Persico, Ludwig, Balsamo, Niewiadoma
