The Amstel Gold Race, the only classic race held in the Netherlands, is the youngest of the spring classics. Together with the Fleche Wallonne and Liège-Bastogne-Liège, it is also known as the "Ardennes Trilogy."

There are no cobblestones, but with multiple climbs, this is when the lightweight riders come into their own, and if you have a VPN, here's how to watch the Amstel Gold Race 2024 live stream from anywhere and for free.

Starting in Maastricht and finishing in Valkenberg, the 255-km course is set on a maze of winding roads.

The two climbs of the Goalhemerberg, Bemerberg, and the infamous Cauberg, as well as the 22% gradient of the Küttenberg, will be a battle of attrition for the peloton.

The main attraction will be Tour de Flanders and Paris-Roubaix winner Mathieu Van der Pol (Alpecin-Desseuninck), who will be looking for an unprecedented third consecutive win.

Tom Pidcock (INEOS Grenadiers), Matej Mohoric (Bahrain Victorias), Ben Healy (EF Education Easy Post), and Juan Ayuso (UAE Emirates) will try to stop him, but the greatest talent in the sport's history It is extremely difficult to beat the most talented player in the history of the sport.

With a temperature of 14°C and a 1% chance of precipitation, the conditions in Maastricht this morning were perfect.
