Amstel Gold Race Ladies Edition LIVE: One of the year’s least predictable races – will it be a sprint, a solo or something else on the Cauberg?

Good morning, it’s an early start for our live coverage of Amstel Gold Race, as the peloton shifts from the cobbles of Flanders to the hills of the southern Netherlands and the province of Limburg.

Today’s race is an early one, we roll out of the beautiful surroundings of the Markt in Maastricht at 10:10 local time for 1.8km of neutral before 158.1km of racing.

Of course this isn’t the first of the hilly races, we had Brabantse Pijl on Friday and what a race that was!

Célia Gery (FDJ United-SUEZ) scored a real breakthrough and continued the team’s domination.

Marianne Vos is the only women to have won the race more than once, the Visma-Lease a Bike rider winning in 2021 and 2024.

Amstel Gold Race is now the only one day Women’s WorldTour race in the Netherlands after the loss of the Ronde van Drenthe. Held in the far north east of the country, Drenthe ran between 2007 and ’24. Lorena Wiebes (SD Worx-Protime) was the record winner with four victories, with Marianne Vos (VIsma-Lease a Bike ) second with three.
