Matthews, Schachmann and Van Gils know servants for Amstel Gold Race

Friday April 12, 2024 at 8:00 PM

Three favorites know where they stand for the Amstel Gold Race. The teams of Jayco AlUla, BORA-hansgrohe and Lotto Dstny have revealed their selections for Sunday’s Dutch WorldTour classic.

We might consider Michael Matthews among the top favorites. Even though the experienced Australian is feeling a bit tired, he still wants to end his spring with a bang. He will therefore receive support from Lawson Craddock, Luke Durbridge, Anders Foldager, Mauro Schmid, Jan Maas and Felix Engelhardt. Schmid in particular could become a dangerous customer.

Schachmann has only completed the Gold Race three times, but he played a crucial role in his last two participations in 2019 and 2021. From this we can conclude that the Limburg classic lies with the German. Bob Jungels and Matteo Sobrero are also interesting pawns in Ralph Denk’s team, which also represents Roger Adri, Giovanni Aleotti, Alexander Hajek and Frederik Wandahl.

And we can also rate Maxim Van Gils highly, given the step that the number three of the Strade Bianche took this spring. At Lotto Dstny he will probably share the leadership with Andreas Kron, and to a lesser extent Jenno Berckmoes. Jarrad Drizners, Pascal Eenkhoorn, Jonas Gregaard and Mathijs Paaschens also made the ProTeam selection.
