Description

The 2025 Amstel Gold Race was a road cycling one-day race that took place on 20 April in the Netherlands. It was the 59th edition of the Amstel Gold Race and the 17th event of the 2025 UCI World Tour.

The race was won by Mattias Skjelmose, who out-sprinted Tadej Pogačar and Remco Evenepoel to take what multiple cycling journalists called the biggest victory of his career.

Pre-race favorites
The Amstel Gold Race marks the beginning of the Ardennes classics, which typically favor puncheur riders who excel on short steep climbs. Tadej Pogačar was seen as the top favorite for the 2025 edition, having won the race in 2023 and having shown strong form by winning the 2025 Tour of Flanders. The other top contenders were Tom Pidcock, the reigning champion from 2024, and Remco Evenepoel, who was racing the Amstel Gold Race for the first time but has won other hilly classics like Liège–Bastogne–Liège in previous years. Other riders mentioned in pre-race analysis were Wout van Aert, Michael Matthews, Ben Healy, Romain Grégoire, Tiesj Benoot, Neilson Powless, Thibau Nys, and Maxim Van Gils.
