Beating other pre race favorites like Jorgenson and Carapaz. Just behind the big favorite VDP. Well done.
If he wasn't trying he would've/should've let Hermans/Kragh go for their own results, instead of having them pacing.
I’ve had more fun today than in all of De Ronde and Roubaix combined. I’m even anticipating more fun on Wednesday than in either those or Liege, which is going to be boring af.
Tbh, everyone who drinks Amstel loses.
After RVV and PR its no wonder MVDP is tired ...any one would be ...proves he is human
as for Pidcok anyone who thinks he is over rated doesn't know his onions

Pre-race favorite Fuglsang in 76th while Max Schachmann wasn‘t even the best German Max in this race
He doesn't like alcohol, so kudos to him for at least trying to down that swill. lol
Poor move, Amstel is a wonderful beer for people who don't like alcohol
This is definitely wrong!
According to PCS it's Matteo Jorgenson in that position, which seems entirely more possible!
So, we went from getting M. Jorgenson confused with M. Jørgensen (when they were teammates) to getting M. Jorgsenson confused with A. Jørgsensen, despite the fact that they're not even teammates, and Adam definitely wasn't riding AGR!

His balls got older and for a while bigger, too. It didn't make him a better rider though.

Jorgsenson/Jørgsensen is as bad as Primrose Roglic.
CQ.
I'll wait and see how long it takes before they realise.
They fixed it.
(A shame for me, if he had indeed managed to circumwent UCI rules and ride Amstel, he'd have been almost into profit.)
MvdP:
"I didn't have the super legs to close everything down," he admitted afterwards. "Because then you'll fall short on climbs like the Keutenberg. You have to take some risks."
"This is a different kind of race than in the past weeks, with a different type of riders. We did very well as a team, but on this course, you have to gamble."
"Was it a conscious choice to ride more defensively? Yes, but I also didn't have the legs to ride very offensively. That can be punished in this race." "At the end, I was hoping we would catch up with the group, but I think the strongest riders were simply at the front."
"I have the luxury to take risks, because my spring season has already been more than successful," Van der Poel didn't take it to heart. "I would have liked to be in the final, but I didn't really have the legs."
"I'm realistic enough to know that you can't win everything. Next week will probably be even tougher, but we're going to give it one more go."
"After that, I can rest. I'm off to Spain now to enjoy some good weather and put the final touches on things."

He's going to Spain... it's so over for everyone else at Liege
Good win by Pidcock. Entertaining race. Another top 10 for Matthews. The veteran has had a good Spring so far.
Gold Race was just like Amstel Pils: Light in pleasure! 
No, seriously. As long as last year's special edition isn't the reference, 2024 was a fine race. Last 35 kilometers have been exciting
The strongest rider in the race won. Pidcock fully deserved this. Closed the gap to the front first. Then, he was a bit behind on Keutenberg but still followed Benoot quite easily. Worked a lot. Attacked himself strongly. Fastest in the sprint.
Good performance by Hirschi who forced the selection. But was a bit too weak in the sprint as well as on the hills to take the win.
Benoot looked good, but simply has zero sprint. His late entree to the season helped him here, because his shape was just increasing from Flanders on.
Nothing memorable overall. Nice cycling Sunday despite IMHO!
