What is the route for Amstel Gold Race?
The men’s Amstel Gold Race takes place in the Netherlands, with riders competing for glory over a 255.2km route that is split into four parts and features 33 climbs.
After starting in Maastricht, the capital city of Limburg, for the 26th time, the men’s route will head north to Sittard before turning back for the twisty section of the course that will see riders take on certain stretches of road more than once.
The signature Cauberg climb will once again play a key role in determining the victor before the Geulhemmerberg and Bemelerberg climbs take the peloton to the finish line in Valkenburg.
The women’s route stands at 157.4km and includes 21 climbs. It also starts in Maastricht and finishes in Valkenburg, with the final 18km loop of the Geulhemmerberg, Bemelerberg and Cauberg climbs to be completed four times.
Once the 800-metre ascent up the Cauberg, which has a peak gradient of 12.8%, has been tackled a fifth time, a 1.8km sprint to the finish will determine the winner.
