Amstel Gold Race 2025, Pogacar: "I have beautiful memories and I want to win again"

Rome, 17 April 2025 - Despite the second place in the Paris-Roubaix 2025, an unprecedented placement in a Monument, Tadej pogacar continues to set new records in the ranking UCI, of which he has been the leader since 28 September 2021, for a record stay of 195 weeks (185 in a row). The opportunity to hunt for a quick return to victory will be given by theAmstel Gold Race 2025, scheduled Sunday April 20.  

Pogacar's statements

  La Beer Classic It is already in the Slovenian's palmares, who won it in 2023 with a number from very far away: first however the runner of theUAE Team Emirates-XRG, who in recent days has also received compliments from a certain Tom Boonen, looks at the recent past with satisfaction. "We leave the cobblestones with our heads held high. I think we can say we are satisfied with the races we have done, which have all been fought. The Ardennes They will be a new challenge: they will be three very tough matches packed into one week that I believe our team has the qualities to face at their best." pogacar he then thinks back to his success two years ago. "I have great memories of how I managed to win this race: we'll see if we can repeat that this year."

Van Aert's statements

  Then there are those who returned from the expedition on the cobblestones with an even smaller loot: for Wout van aert redeem oneself in Ardennes becomes almost a necessity after a first part of spring rather poor in results and not free of falls and the usual physical problems. "I can't wait to be at the start of the Brabant Arrow. For me it will be a return after many years but, thanks to the change of calendar, this time I can participate. For me it will be an extra opportunity to run a classical of spring. In the 2021, on the occasion of my first and only time, I have already come close to victory and therefore I would say that the course suits me. I feel good and therefore I hope to be able to compete again for the victory in the final: this will be my goal". If the Brabant Arrow it's almost an unknown, theAmstel Gold Race has already been won by the runner of the Visma-Lease a Bike since 2021, as the sporting director of the Dutch team was keen to remind us Frans Maassen. "This is a race with a significant participation. While the Brabant Arrow It still has some cobblestone sections, theAmstel Gold Race it's all ups and downs. The transition from these two types of Classics However, it should not be underestimated: it is a combination reserved for a few runners, but if there is anyone who can do well, it is Wout, which has already been amply demonstrated in the past".
