Amstel Gold Race Ladies 2024 overview
Amstel Gold Race is a Women’s WorldTour one-day race in the hilly southeast of the Netherlands. The race, taking place Sunday, 14 April, marks the beginning of the Ardennes week as the peloton transitions from the cobblestones to the hills.
The race is in its tenth edition for women and has established itself as one of the most exciting races on the calendar, with a parcours that offers something for everyone with short, steep climbs providing the catalyst for the action. The 157km race has a moderate amount of climbing at 1,812 metres. Most of the climbing comes from the repetition of climbs in the final circuit around Valkenburg.
In terms of contenders, the start list is loaded with the likes of Elisa Longo Borghini, Demi Vollering, Marianne Vos and Kasia Niewiadoma headlining the race. Longo Borghini has been one of the stand-out riders this year and is laser-focused on the hilly Classics having skipped Paris-Roubaix to target the gaps in her palmarès.
