Mattias Skjelmose has added the Amstel Gold Race to his palmares after defeating Tadej Pogačar and Remco Evenepoel in a thrilling sprint. On the second ascent of the Gulperberg, Julian Alaphilippe accelerated with Pogačar on his wheel, but with 42 kilometres to go, the Frenchman had to let the world champion ride away. Pogačar seemed on his way to a successful solo victory, but Evenepoel and Skjelmose had other plans. The duo caught up with the world champion in the final kilometres, after which Skjelmose proved to be the strongest in the sprint.

The Dutchman Jan Raas dominated the Amstel Gold Race in the late 1970s and early 1980s. He is the only rider who managed to win the Dutch classic five times. His first four victories came in four consecutive editions between 1977 and 1980. Two years later, he brought his total to five wins. Raas started the Amstel Gold Race eight times in his career, and in no fewer than seven editions he finished on the podium. This earned him the nickname Amstel Gold Raas.
