Amstel Gold Race 2026, April 19

[EddyMazzoleni]

here's what Belgian press thinks as well. From today's Het Nieuwsblad

***** Evenepoel
**** Jorgenson, Vauquelin
*** Skjelmose, Lapeira, Gregoire
** del Grosse, Scaroni, Schmid, Laporte
* Wellens, Bilbao, Qimmons, Godon, Aranburu

Cosnefroy should be there with Gregoire in the third row. Also, given what we saw yesterday, this race is too hard for TdG do be near the front. Del Toro maybe deserve some stars, but he is coming from a crash and even before he wasn't looking to hot in Basque.

Evenepoel never impresses in stage races. This race is different. He's the absolute favorite.

I'm not really fussed about Remco's inconsistency, it was more that he kept getting dropped like a stone on any 3km+ climb (consistently).

But anyway, not a problem for tomorrow, more a potential issue for next week (if it is still there).

I checked on FC and he was in the start list, thanks for letting me know.

Amstel gold race is still bigger than Strade
Strade has no history
Its still the same high calibre of riders that win Amstel

I don't think he's going to get dropped tomorrow. But I wonder if he can drop riders like Vauquelin or Jorgenson on these hills. His usual tactic is to attack between the hills, but everyone knows that, and since he's the big favourite they won't just let him ride. And then it becomes more difficult.

The only race in the world with better pedigree (quality of winners) is probably the TdF.

Once SB becomes 6th,how many monuments for Pog. Why do you think Pog is coming every year (or Seixas). In 10 years.
