Amstel Gold Race 2026, April 19

[Berniece]

Some big quality names are skipping this years edition. No Pogacar, MVDP, WVA or Seixas. We do get Evenepoel, and I think Jorgenson is riding it for the first time.

[Potomac]

still a strong looking list of names

 

[houtdffan]

evenepoel by at least 2 minutes

evenepoel by at least 2 minutes

You don't think Pidcock will be able to hang? Skjelmose?

 

[Tim Cahill]

You don't think Pidcock will be able to hang? Skjelmose?

I'm actually surprised to see his name on the startlist, his injury is rather bad.

Amstel isn't usually a 'win by 2 minutes' race anyway so there should be at least some suspense.

Oh, didn't even know about Pidcock. Thx.

Wait when did Pidcock get injured? I havent seen him since he looked great in Sanremo

Crashed in Catalunya, injured his knee

 

[Coppi-Bartali]

still a strong looking list of names

I think many ot them won't be there; PCS list includes several injured riders like Pidcock, Narvaez, and Wellens.

 

[Heston]

Crashed in Catalunya, injured his knee

Oh damn I completely forgot.

I guess its up to Skjelmose to threaten Remco in this race then

 

[Flamin]

I'm curious how Del Grosso will do here, first time in a protected role in a big race that suits him very well. We will probably already see some signs in Brabantse Pijl this Friday.

 

[houtdffan]

Pidcock? No chance at all. He's never hung with Remco in this type of race.

Skjelmose? Last year was an one off based upon his results. He got mauled in the 1 day races late last year by Remco and Pog

 

[RedheadDane]

I think PCS has gotten their Del Toros confused.

 

[Lequack]

I think PCS has gotten their Del Toros confused.

Why do you think. It's clearly the great Romero Del Toro who is riding

 

[Krzysztof_O]

@Berniece

Looking at the podium image from the last year, what a huge win for Skjelmose given the guys standing next to him.
Evenepoel should take revenge this year.

 

[Netserk]

gregoire is my dark horse

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Romero del Toro Romero is the new Rigoberto Urán Urán.

 

[Berniece]

evenepoel by at least 2 minutes

Think he’ll win solo too. RBH just has to take a page out of the UAE playbook. Go hard every hill, and eventually everyone is dead, and that’s when you attack. After that it’s over.

Only works if Evenepoel is better than the rest. Otherwise he can’t get away.

 

[MJR]

Fingers crossed for zombie Alaphilippe being able to make some effect on the race.

Pidcock? No chance at all. He's never hung with Remco in this type of race.

Have you seen Pidcock this year??

But I also think his injury will prevent him from doing well.

I understood he only just started riding inside, so not sure if we can expect much from him

 

[Gratemans]

No, because Remco only rode it once. Pidcock won it once, became second (or won it two times, depending on who you ask) and became third. "No chance at all" ? Lol.

Yes, Pidcock has absolutely no chance

This reminds me of youtube commentators who kept taking Pidcock last year at the worlds, Euros, and Lombardia, only for him to be absolutely mauled by Pog and Remco.

No different at Amstel and LBL

 

[No Excuses]

Pidders vs. Healy

So Pidcock is injured right now, how badly no idea. But...

Would we say all 3 riders were on top form then? Pogi it's hard to tell, but seemed great, Evenepoel was on really good form, but was Pidcock? I mean he has won twice...oh sorry, won once and gotten second in this race before.
