Amstel Gold Race 2023, one day classic, April 16 (men's)

[Lequack]

The roles are reversed. Pog is racing, Wout and MVDP are not. He is hot off of winning Tour of Flanders, but there are others to challenge him.
Last year it was Kwiatkowski, the former world champ, who won it in a head to head against Cosnefroy. The group with MVDP came in 20 seconds behind.

Notable rider: Kwiatkowski, Pogacar, Powless, Bilbao, Gaudu, Higuita, Skjelmose, Bardet, Carapaz, Schmid, Pidcock, Cosnefroy, Trentin, Mollema, Mohoric, Costa, Benoot

[DJ Sprtsch]

I'm getting thirsty suddenly.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

What an amazing turnaround was the last year finish. Initially Constnefroy was 1st but after a correction my compatriot won! This year Kwiato will have it difficult following his problems. The profile indicates it's a very hilly race with a large elevation gain so Tadej is #1 candidate to win it, possibly from a small group (if he's still not way past his peak).

 

[Statze2]

The only question, as always, can anyone beat Tadej?

 

[Samamba]

The only question, as always, can anyone beat Tadej?

No, will be a boring race thanks to him. 30km solo.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

If Tadej doesn‘t win, he will have his Big 6 card revoked

 

[Anderis]

The only question, as always, can anyone beat Tadej?

Powless and Healy attacking together 100km from the finish.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I hope the promised impoved photo finish equipment will favour Cosnefroy

Screw Trofeo Senza Fine

Screw Trident

This is the best trophy in cycling.

The only question, as always, can anyone beat Tadej?

normally he should start to fade a bit sooner or later, but, well... there's not too much hope, I guess.

 

[Lequack]

How come Vinge isn't racing this with his super climbing watts. Surely he would have a chance. Or Remco.

Vinge is currently in a reset period ("family time" according to the team) and then will undergo further upgrades before the Tour to slay the chubby-faced killer again.
Remco will probably come from the altitude only for Liege.

[SHAD0W93]

I’m going Pog winning Amstel and FW to finish second to Evenepoel in LBL or Pog winning all 3.

 

[tobydawq]

I’m going Pog winning Amstel and FW to finish second to Evenepoel in LBL or Pog winning all 3.

I think Godon does the quadruple.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Pog is yet to get a top8 result in FW, where weaker climbers are exposed badly.

 

[Strawberry_Jams]

nah, he's a flash... in the pan.

 

[Anderis]

I always find it confusing when the rider in the picture is not the first one from the top on the list of names. It's like they wanted to confuse us on purpose.

 

[SHAD0W93]

Pog is yet to get a top8 result in FW, where weaker climbers are exposed badly.

Zaugg never finished in the top 10 of a monument and won one. UAE need to ride the race hard.

 

[CyclistAbi]

So they decided to improve photo finish tech this year. Didn't they check on who is racing? Such a big waste of money.

But OK fair enough.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

This is probably the easiest of the three Ardennes races for Pogacar this year. Liège has Evenepoel and his trackrecord at Flèche is surprisingly bad. Here, on the other hand, the obvious outcome is a solo from Eyserbosweg to win by at least half a minute.

 

[search]

I guess Kamp deserves a mention, as more or less the only rider left who still seems to peak for Amstel.

They need to see If Pogacar can beat his shadow. Probably the only worthy competitor he will have

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Surely it was Philipsen who was flash in De Panne.
