Amstel Gold Race

Stressful, with hard terrain equally distributed over the course and with no respite. 21 hills, or ‘bergs’, in just 157km, for an Amstel Gold Race where stagerace specialists, one-day puncheures or even some sprinters all hold chances.

From the 2023 edition, the race has been decided with four final laps of the famous Valkenburg circuit, over the Geulhemmerberg -a tough, long double straight-, Bemelerberg -gentle and fast- and Cauberg with 1.7km from the finish in Berg en Terblijt. Before that, eight other ascents will be crested, including the Kruisberg (61km), Eyserbosweg -a tough slope, 64km-, Fromberg (68km) and the Keutenberg (73km), with its maximum of 20%. As we mentioned, it’s never an easy thing.
