The 2017 Amstel Gold Race was a road cycling one-day race that took place on 16 April. It was the 52nd edition of the Amstel Gold Race and the sixteenth event of the 2017 UCI World Tour. [1] [2]
It was won for the fourth time by Philippe Gilbert ( Quick-Step Floors), defeating Team Sky's Michał Kwiatkowski in a two-up sprint finish. [3] Michael Albasini from Orica–Scott completed the podium, leading home a small group ten seconds in arrears of the lead duo. [4] Gilbert's win, coupled with a win two weeks earlier at the Tour of Flanders, made him the third rider to win both races in the same year – after Eddy Merckx and Jan Raas. [5]
After a 14-year hiatus, there was also a women's version of the Amstel Gold Race of 121 km, following the same parcours. This race was won by Anna van der Breggen. [6]
As the Amstel Gold Race was a UCI World Tour event, all eighteen UCI WorldTeams were invited automatically and obliged to enter a team in the race. Six UCI Professional Continental teams competed, completing the 24-team peloton. [7]
