Amstel Gold Race 2025, one day classic, April 20 (men's)

Lol at all the wheelsucking complain after such great race, Pogi vs Remco with someone else as the winner, what more can you ask

 

[Danskebjerge]

When a Dane is being interviewed, you know the f### word will be there.

 

[MJR]

Skjelmose in shock, dropping F bombs.

 

[noob]

Did this just happen?

 

[Andre]

Wasn't Skjelmose wheelsucking Evenepoel for like 10 minutes straight?

yes

 

[Didinho]

Hope Remco now knows it’s not always a 15kg heavier Wout you drag along. Insane km leadout. Just play the game and try to get in the wheels. Hope he learned his lesson. Could’ve won out of the slipstream.

But good win for Skjelmose. Also deserved. Going solo behind Pogi, working with Remco. And did a strong sprint. Well done.

 

[Savant12]

It seemed Pogacar had a cramp on the final meters. Or it could be him being not used to sprinting.

Or he had P-R in the legs.

 

[scribers]

He deserves credit for making the race that remco bridged to. And needed remco to reel on pogi. Profited from the race

 

[Brullnux]

Very sweet interview with Skjelmose

 

[Leinster]

Skjel better send Remco a big case of Amstel as thanks for that win.

 

[Danskebjerge]

Maybe now it's been done, riders can stop panicking themselves into passivity every time Pog attacks and conceding defeat as soon as he goes up the road.

This.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Skjelmose, I have to apologize you. Well done mate!
Remco is in great shape, probably close to his peak

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Very emotional interview by Skjelmose, he was riding for his grandpa who had passed a month ago.

 

[Berniece]

Wasn't Skjelmose wheelsucking Evenepoel for like 10 minutes straight?

Different status, different palmares, so different expectations

 

[Danskebjerge]

Skjel better send Remco a big case of Amstel as thanks for that win.

That's how cycling used to be. Nice.

 

[ChasingPotatoes]

Remco got baited by pog, but pog got trumped by skjelmose in his draft. Skjelmose isn’t slow in sprints; maybe not the strongest but the bravest. Thanks to all 3 riders for giving us such a final!

 

[zlev11]

now that was a friggin bike race

 

[Brullnux]

Hate that people are playing down Skjelmose's win already by saying it was just thanks to Remco. He obviously isn't as good as the other two, but he rode hard and rode well and fully deserved his win. We can't complain about underdogs not winning and then also play down said underdogs' performances when they win.

 

[Poursuivant]

Pog will skip FW now

 

[Andre]

I am visiting family and sat down for meal with Pocagar 30 seconds lead, and just seen the results and he didn't win? Wtf happened??????

Remco attacked from a small group and Skelmosse was only one to hang on...and Remco brought it back together but sprinted 25 meters too early

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Only Remco can pull this off against Pog! Amazing race.

Great stuff, hoped for a Remco win

Neither was in their best shape. But towards Liège, maybe Evenepoel is on an upward curve and Pog will be trending down. We can hope. But indeed, only Evenepoel could pull this off. Healy nearly managed it but a deus ex machina prevented that in 2023.

 

[KoopaCycling]

Race of the season! I mean something spectacular needs to happen to better this.

 

[houtdffan]

why didn't Remco do a bike throw?

That seems to have been the difference. He not know how to do that? His sprint has become world class, but you HAVE to do the bike throw!

 

[Red Rick]

Give Amstel monument status already and force a name change to a beer that's actually good.

 

[benzwire]

It's good that Pogacar knows he can be caught, it'll play into his psyche some. Remco can also gain a lot of confidence from the last 2 races, he's definitely back to the top. This bids well for the coming race and season!
