A story says the finish line for Amstel Gold 2013 will be moved 2 km past the Cauberg, to give more riders a chance to win.
I liked the finish at the top of the Cauberg, and in general dislike too many sprint finishes. One reason the Amstel Gold has appealed to me is that a strong rider can win without having the strongest team or the best leadout.
1. Will this change bring out more sprint finishes, or is it still too close to the Cauberg to allow sprint trains to do their thing?
2. Any other opinions on whether this is a positive or a negative change?
Cheers,
