“Let’s climb some bergs”

The only one-day World Tour race staged in the Netherlands and considered the most important Dutch road cycling event

Although the Netherlands are known for their flat, wind-affected roads, the Amstel Gold Race takes place in the hilly southern region of Limburg. The route twists through the rolling Limburg countryside, often turning abruptly to climb as many hills (bergs) as possible. The most notable climb is the Cauberg, which is covered up to four times, and has sometimes been in the last few kilometres of the race.
