The Amstel Gold Race also has its female counterpart. The Dutch race has reached its tenth edition, despite having its birth in 2001; after a long pause for reflection, from 2004 to 2016, the race was proposed again in 2017, immediately becoming one of the most interesting on the world scene.
PATH
157.8 kilometers to cover, almost 100 less than the men’s race, but there are still 21 walls to climb. For example, in the first half of the race there is the Kruisberg, not tackled in the men’s race, while the final circuit, to be repeated five times, is shorter and more nervous: the Geulhemmerberg, the Bemelerberg and the Cauberg are almost in a row, after which you will pass on arrival.
ALTIMETRY
FAVORITE
Usually this race is the prerogative of the home athletes; last year it was Demi Vollering (SD Worx) to impose himself but doesn’t seem to have the right leg. One of the greatest favorites, if not the favorite, it can be Elisa Longo Borghini, which took home the Tour of Flanders and the Arrow of Brabant. There will be no shortage of rivals: from world champion Lotte Kopecky to Ashleigh Moolman (AG Insurance-Soudal), with Katarzyna Niewiadoma (Canyon/SRAM), Shirin Van Anrooij (Lidl-Trek) and Maci Garcia (Liv AlUla Jayco) trying to get in .
