The cobbled classics are done and dusted and its now time for the climbers to shine on the smoother, steeper slopes of the Ardennes. The Amstel Gold Race – the only Classic held in the Netherlands – is the youngest of the Spring Classics which together with Flèche Wallonne and Liège-Bastogne-Liège, forms the iconic ‘Ardennes Trilogy’.
Read on and we’ll explain how to watch Amstel Gold Race 2025 live streams from anywhere with a VPN, and potentially for FREE.
The 2025 Amstel Gold Race has a stellar line up of riders including the biggest star of them all, Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates – XRG). Hoping they can topple the King though will be former winners Tom Pidcock (Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team), Wout van Aert (Team Visma | Lease a Bike) and returning after a long time out following a training crash the Belgian superstar Remco Evenepoel (Soudal Quick-Step).
Covering 255.9 kilometers the constantly twisting and turning route packs in 34 vicious climbs spread across the hilly Zuid-Limburg region in the southern Netherlands. The key obstacles on the route are the Gulperberg, Kruisberg, Eyserbosweg, and Fromberg which all come in a brutal 11 kilometres stretch. Following this the race hits the Keuterberg which ramps up to 22% at one point then 10 kilometres later the second ascent of the iconic Cauberg with ramps hitting 12.8%.
The race will likely be decided in the final 20 kilometers (unless Pogačar has already set off on one of his trademark long range attacks ) on the climbs of the Kuitenbergweg, the Bemelerberg and the final ascent of the Cauberg which comes 2.5km before the line.
