Pidcock wins Amstel Gold Race
Pidcock powered to victory in a four-up sprint at the 58th edition of the Amstel Gold Race, besting Marc Hirschi and Tiesj Benoot on the line after 253km of racing. Tiesj Benoot, Marc Hirschi, Mauri Vansevenant and Tom Pidcock were the survivors in the last lap of the Amstel Gold Race.
Tosh Van der Sande, Enzo Leijnse, Alexander Hajek and Zeb Kyffin jumped off the front after 30 kilometres of fast-paced action. The four opened up a 5-minute lead, but they were reeled in with 74 kilometers left to race.
In the run-up to the Loorberg, Louis Vervaeke attacked. Mikkel Honoré and Paul Lapeira went with him. The trio opened up a 25-second gap.
Vervaeke was dropped from the lead group on the Eyserbosweg climb. Marc Hirschi struck just after the summit, and Valentin Madouas, Bauke Mollema and Roger Adrià joined him. Quinten Pacher and Mauri Vansevenant bridged across a little later, while Ook Tiesj Benoot, Tom Pidcock and Kévin Vauquelin regained contact before the Keutenberg after losing contact.
Benoot, Hirschi, Vansevenant and Pidcock distanced the others and gobbled up the two leaders on the climb. Bilbao tracked the others down and regained contact on the plateau after the summit with Mollema, Vauquelin, Honoré, Adrià, Lapeira, Pacher and Lapeira.
The lead group opened up a 53-second gap and entered the final bell lap with a 30-second lead.
Bilbao dropped behind due to a mechanical on the Geulhemmerberg, while Pidcock, Hirschi, Benoot and Vansevenant were the remaining attackers after the summit.
Pidcock distanced the others on the false flat after the Bemelerberg. The others regained contact, and then it came down to a sprint. Pidcock outpowered Hirschi and Benoot, and Vansevenant came home in fourth place.
