(French TV)
The Briton won the first Ardennes classic of the season by winning the sprint ahead of Marc Hirschi and Tiesj Benoit on Sunday.
Fifth career win and probably one of his best. After two years on tour, Tom Pidcock won the Amstel Gold Race on Sunday 14th April. The Briton from the Ineos Grenadiers team showed strength to win in the middle of the group of four drivers who managed to make the difference. In a tight duel with Marco Hirschi (UAE Team Emirates) and Tiesj Benoota (Visma-Lease a Bike), he held on to the finish line.
Behind him, the man who attracted all eyes, Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) will never reveal his game. Staying in the main group from start to finish, he will not achieve an unprecedented hat-trick Paris-Roubaix, Tour of. Flanders, Amstel Gold Race. On the other hand, he retained some freshness a week from the Liège-Bastogne-Liège monument, which he yearns for with more fervor.
