- Amstel Gold is not far off the five monuments in terms of prestige. Although known as the first of the trio of 'Ardennes Classics', the race actually takes place in the hilly Dutch province of Limburg, with no fewer than 33 climbs on its 253.4km route. Recent editions have been epic, with a breathtaking Mathieu van der Poel victory in 2019, followed by thrilling but controversial photo finishes in 2021 and 2022. So, who will claim the 2023 title?

chugged that beer like the boss he is
no surprise there. drinking alcohol is slovenian national sport 🤣🤣
@@ninnak-ve5ko ...but also in Britain...poor Tom just sipped.
forgetting the other guy up there’s irish hahahah
@@ninnak-ve5ko even more than Irish or British?
@@ExplorinDoranRBrown british/irish are rookies
5:00 Tadej is the best at drinking too, the other two never stood a chance
yeah to bad it was Amstel. But then again it's the Amstel Gold Race. But the region holds so many good beers. If you are a beer lover you should go there
@@jeffw9465 The Dutch keep the best beer in Holland. Amstel Pils is a mighty drink.
his finish has always been incredible in these races one of the other reasons hes racing big guys in flanders and E3 these guys can't keep up on road or in bar :)
@@carmenandthedevil2804 Best beer? Let's check the World Beer Awards 2022. WBA Country winner and World's Best Classic Pilsener: Alfa Bier. They've also won 2 gold medals at the Brussels Beer Challenge 2022. Alfa Bier is a local brewery from Thull, in the former Land of Valkenburg.
@@carmenandthedevil2804 Amstel is piss beer with no taste. Average at best. Tastes like toilet water
He got a louder cheer for necking the beer than winning the race ! Good to see the fans have got their priorities right!
Shoutout to the editors for getting these out so damn fast
but i also almost fell asleep with the unenthusiastic commentary
@@0THC0 off to bed then! Why be so negative, reacting on something positive?
@@samvanderwerff3728 fair enough
and also big thanks for no spoilers in the title or thumbnail!!!
During the post race interview, Pogacar stated van der Poel texted him three days ago advising to attack at the Keutenberg, so he did. The rest is history.
Everything but the future is history... Me sending this message is history.
The medication taken 59 minutes ago, history as well.
Legends
😂😂😂
Got a link?
Perfection by Pog and to slam that beer at the end was full boss mode.
Pogi had no mercy with the beer as well , hahahaha.
Ben Healy, what a race! Excellent!
Pogacar skolling his entire beer on the podium. What a legend.
On a hilly course like this, Pog makes it look like child's play. Amazing ride.
And he housed the beer too. Well done, sir
Ben Healy the future of Irish cycling 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Yes and no. He can’t beat wva or Mvp for 4 more years, nor pogacar for 7
@@paulsolon6229 he mentioned Irish not world
@@hafidzhamid1173 so?
An Irishman got beat at beer drinking by a Slovenian…
@@paulsolon6229 so he can still be the star of Irish cycling and get great results. not everyone can be super human like pog and wva.
He has the power of the helmet hair tuft back.
I think it’s amazing that the Netherlands is capable of putting on a single day race with nearly 3,300 metres of climbs!
Well, you just crisscross 30 square km until you get dizzy. It is not that hard.
@@edwin.jansen 700 km2 zul je bedoelen
I love the carbo loading on the podium!!!
That could have some consequences next week though😅
@@de4ds1ghtcsgo94 glad its no in France he might fail the blood test
Him losing the TdF was very, very bad for the rest of the peloton LOL.
LMAO
Attacked and ride alone to the finish line, Chugged that beer to the finish line too!
Shows the spirit that guy has, just be there and finish the game you started! That’s what winners are made of.
Amstel Gold Cheers to Tadej! He's been kickin' ass and takin' names so far this year. Salute!
Smashes the race and the beer too.
Displaying dominance even at the podium 🍻
Nice summary! Thanks for not giving the result away!
Surely Pogi is a handful to anybody this year. Chapeau
He doping, clearly
@@chivacetana am not sure about your allegations here. Until he has been proven a doper, he remains the boss on cycling racing and will continue whipping everyone and bringing chest pains to you. He is an awesome strong bike rider and has been winning since his junior years.
Pogacar battling Vingegaard in 3 week Tours and MVDP and WVA in the single day races is wild.
@@chivacetana parvo
it`s encouraging to see pidcock and healey sharing a podium
imbibement, from a top field like that !thanks to mr kirby too
for the usual top class commentary, 👍
That beer went down a treat.
I thought people were getting ahead of themselves calling him the successor to Eddy Merckx, but damn this season he looks like he just wants to win everything and he has the power to do it. The Tour de France is going to be really interesting.
Not if he over races beforehand like last year. Vinke's team will be mighty strong. Hope covid doesn't cripple Pogs support team again.
Merckx has hailed him as such. Not just for results but for the style - which could, as said below, lead to a bit of over-racing, just like Eddy at times
@@cuebj He could be well on his way, but it's a long road. 3 more TdF's, 3 or more giro's and Vuelta's, the hour record, same early season dominance's, and P-R several times. Plus more no doubt.
Best rider out there today....Tade playing with these guys...
It seems that Pogi got a chat from MvdP were he should launch his attack. That's what the news says over here. That was the exact spot he sped away. Keuteberg is a killer. I saw people park their bikes halfway in the past. Brutal stuff
How would Alpecin and mvdp teammates feel about that 😅
You can forget everyone back to Merckx. Pocacar is proving he is beyond reproach. I am so glad I had the chance to see a complete champion in my lifetime. Pay attention you it is unlikely you will ever see a rider of the quality Pogacar is...
So dominant... like a certain Texan from days gone by.
@@johnandrews3568 lance never dominated the cobbles nor the ardennes. before he retires he has real a chance to win all three grand tours and all 5 monuments.
@@fanda6122 He will probably get busted before that happens. Just like Lance in the end. Hopefully it won't take years.
@@HolgerDanske874 what evidence do you have for his cheating besides his results?
@@fanda6122 hahaha LA never got popped. C'mon a negative test means nothing. They are all on PEDs, but TP should learn to lose a few so he doesn't seem so obviously juiced.
Love the beer chug, Tadej!
Ben Healy your the man, brilliant ride
Wins race solo AND skulls beer in one ... hero. 🚲🍺
TP is something else. Insane 😊
Why, thank you sir 👍🏽 😀
Pog should get a Non-alcohol beer sponsorship ) Chugged like a champ!
This was one of the most ''foregone conclusion'' races I've ever watched, but I still enjoyed it.
great to see an irish rider back at the pointy end of classics 🇮🇪
Great ride great winner great sunday!
It's almost cute how the other riders thought they might win today. ☺
Pogacar just demonstrated that Pro Cycling Manager is realistic.
How?
@@maximefornasari1634 By winning the race like it was only possible in Pro Cycling Manager. 😉
Tom drinking the beer like its a cup of tea is hilarious 😂😂😂
extraordinary performance outstanding - simply unbelievable
Pogi🎉 This is your year!
decade
Amazing win Tadej. Congratulation👏
Terbaik lah Poggy
Thanks to commercial, i missed pogacar's second attack at the live.
what a great athlete pogacar is, possibly the best athlete of this generation
NOPE
Yep. From winning grand tours to small stage races and one day classics including cobbles and ardennes and monuments, who does that, TADEJ POGACAR.
@@danjo1967 probably thinks it's Lebron or some shit 😂😂😂😂
Yeeep
He's the best since Lance Armstrong
Down in one. Good man.
Not even close. Compared to the rest of us, these pros are on another level completely. And compared to the rest of the pros, Pogacar is on another level completely.
Shoutout to that UAE guy doing the bike exchange. He was hustling like his life depended on it.
Very nice done
T.P. is just way up another level
Pogo chugged that amstel like a king! If it had been a belgian beer, he would have asked for another! 🍻
Dayummm
Neither Healy nor Pidcock liked the Amstel beer and what was Pogacar doing? He just dumps it down without batting an eyelid. 😂
Man, you invite Tadej for a bike ride, first he obliterates you on bike and then destroys you in a bar chuging beers like a champ
Drinking beer like a boss! 👏
Grande Pog
Ben healy 👏👏
Pleasure to watch. We are lucky with Van Der Poel, Van Aert and Pogacar
These last three years in cycling are the best since mid 80’s!!
Damn I so wouldn't want to be in Vingegaard's shoes right now 😅
Pog looks in top shape and comes in with a stronger team this year.
I’m not saying Pog will lose, because I think he more likely to win tdf, but I believe Vingegard is preparing fully for the matchup. No races that aren’t prep for it and some of his climbing performances have been amazing so far. I so hope it is a massive battle like last time
@@gettysb19 I agree we haven't seen Vingegaard's form so extensively. He is clearly saving his peak form for the Tour.
The fight will be legendary.
I know it’s a lot to ask for but I wish these videos were longer. I just want to watch more.
We have extended highlights available for the race on GCN+ 👉 gcn.eu/racetv
Auto-generated subtitles, "Daddy Pocacha", love it
The guy is a monster this year
Unbelievable.
nobody gonna mention the fact that the other rider came close to like 18 sec and then the car of the director came and it was back to 30+ sec in no time.. not saying poga wasn't going to win but this was insane tbh..
Yep, never seen anything like it before! Camera motorbikes are normally the culprits, but this was insane. It happened multiple times when he went solo, and for long periods too.
No one can beat this man os to powerful
Has anyone got any tips for a good place on the route to watch this year's race? We'll be staying in Maastricht that weekend, and getting around via public transport, I guess I'm mostly interested in being on a climb with a decent fan atmosphere.
Hes so cracked
the man sprinted his beer. and won.
My fav commentator is back!
0:01 Who's Danny Focaccia?
Why are they riding with Pogacer on a break?
To be the best of the rest😂😂. Pogacar's dominance is just a fact of life😁
Because Pog would ride away without them earlier otherwise and they'd stand a higher chance of being caught by the Lutsenko chase duo. It was in their own interest if they wanted to to make the podium.
Ben Healy wow!
Glad they are keeping Pogacar on that slow Colnago frame. It seems to be giving everyone else a chance against him.
At least we don't have to listen TdF winners tell us that it is not possible to win both one day races and Grand Tours...
He hasn't won a GT this year...yet.
Can someone tell me the name of the song when pogi finishes.... I know the song but can't remember the name
Teaching how to drink too 😂
Braavo Pogacar!!!🤗✌👍😍👌👏✨
I understand this race perfectly suited Pogacar qualities, but i think many observers will really begin to raise eyebrows if he's destroying the Fleche and LBL with only 3 days of rest before each race.🧐
He will become the Goat
AND Pogi chugs a tasty looking beer lol
Hard cycling long days long nights lots of saddle sores it pays of in the end the hard work
Tadej Focaccia!
Great to see Pidcock able to go with Pogacar at least a few times.
And pidcock had almost 1 month training setback after a crash and head injury. I am sure pidcock would have been able to go longer with pogi if not for lack of training
how long would it take a regular person to ride 250km? like 10 hours?
shoutout for van Vliet race director for driving in front of pogi several times. he does it every year to someone.
He’s also the best drinker.
I just really hope he doesnt choke in TdF 😢
Wow & how
Dude is a killa 🤦🏽♂️ He’s out to win everything he suits up for.
It's a but unfair that Pogacar is such a great cyclist and seems like such a nice guys as well.
I think a we need a new verb in the English language: To Pog. meaning to ride away from the rest of the peleton with seemingly minimal effort.
Not that Wretch POG again ?
Like I said after he lost the tour he was going to I be a one man wrecking crew
As a former Yugoslav myself I can attest to the drinking skills of Serbs, Croats, Slovenians 🍺😂 my folks almost killed me as a kid growing up in this culture☠️ the hangovers always hurt more than the bike races do…
Not exactly something to be proud of. 🤦♂️
Is it the bike change or the rider
Poga is top of top rider in the world.
ポガチャル強すぎて強い！
That make me thirsty for a Yuenglings...
although he most likely would have not been caught by Healy, why did a car go in front of pogacar, allowing him to draft, with less than 10k to go, right when the gap between pog and healy was around 20s?? Seemed very strange...
That was utterly outrageous!
I didn’t watch the race live, did that really happen?? 😡
I dont think Ben would really have a chance at catching him anyway. Even if he did, he would not win the sprint to the finish line.
It's a conspiracy. The World Government saw that Pogacar was losing, so they order the car with the alien agents to drive to the front. If Pogacar didn't win this one, the whole Earth as a globe conspiracy might have been revealed, leading to people realizing that the Earth is flat.
That was scandalous. Healy was demonstrably gaining on him at that time. Pogi likely would have won anyway, but the organizers certainly took some of the glory from him, in helping him so brazenly at a crucial time of the race. What a shame.
Without van Aert and MVDP it was quite clear he was going to win.
Quick sidenote, plural of 'berg' is 'bergen', not 'bergs'.
Some discussion on TV last night made me think just how destructive the 'doping-era' of this sport has actually been. That to this day other-worldly performances like the one Tadej gifted us yesterday are always met with discussions on illegal performance enhancing activities. I bet the likes of armstrong and co. didnt quite realize their stupid actions would echo through decades of new talent.
Well done Tadej. What a show. Congratulations.
