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.
