- Danish rider pips favourite Tadej Pogacar at the line
- Mischa Bredewold tops all-Dutch podium in women’s race
Mattias Skjelmose claimed a shock victory at the Amstel Gold Race as he won a sprint finish against favourite Tadej Pogacar and Olympic champion Remco Evenepoel on Sunday.
It was supposed to be a fight between world champion Pogacar and Evenepoel but Denmark’s Skjelmose (Lidl-Trek) had not read the script as he beat Pogacar by the width of a tyre. Evenepoel, who recently returned from serious injuries sustained in a crash, was third.
