Difficult route
The Amstel Gold Race is a special race in that the cyclists must turn and twist through the little villages and some of the hills must be climbed more than once. The Cauberg and Keutenberg hills are difficult climbs and with a distance of about 250 kilometres, the experts say it is a very hard route.
Amstel Gold Raas
Jan Raas, one of Holland’s best cyclists ever, won the race no fewer than five times and still holds the record. If you want to witness the race or even participate in the tour variant for amateurs, don’t wait too long to register because it is a very popular cycling event.
