The Mens 56th edition of the Amstel Gold Race will be held on Sunday 10 April. With narrow roads, dozens of hills and constant twisting and turning the race opens a trilogy of three Ardennes Classics. Founded in 1966 the Amstel Gold Race is the only Classic in the Netherlands, while their neighbours in Belgium have plenty. For years the Cauberg was the last climb, but this scenario was first altered in 2017 in favour of a finale with Geulhemmerberg and Bemelerberg.

Wout van Aert is title holder. Last year, the Flemish powerhouse outgunned Tom Pidcock in a photofinish sprint, while Max Schachmann took third place.
