The 52st edition of the Amstel Gold Race will be held on Sunday the 16th of April, 2017. With narrow roads, dozens of hills and constant twisting and turning the race opens the trilogy of three Ardennes Classics. The route takes in 35 hills, yet unlike in previous editions the punchy Cauberg is no longer the ultimate climb. Bemelerberg is the last one, crested with 7.3 kilometres to go.
Amstel Gold Race 2017 LIVESTREAM: Sunday, 16 April, starts at 14:45 CET Europe, 08:45am U.S. Eastern, 00:45 AEDT Eastern Australia
