Uncle Sven knows...

He's the favourite, but still at 4/1 odds, Sven must pony up. Defending champion valgren 40/1!

I'm going for the very long shot.. Tomorrow is going to be won by either:

Valverde or Allaphillipe

 

:)

 

I know, who bets against VdPoel in his current form.

I wouldn’t really consider Valverde or Allaphillipe a long shot though... serious contenders.

 

Someone like GVA or Sagan is a long shot IMO

Yep, sorry, don't have Comic Sans font on the phone, was being sarcastic. Everyone is building it up as MvdPoel's race to lose, soos it feels like everyone else is just a long shot.

A young race, the Amstel Gold Race struggled to find its place on the international calendar between the much older cobbled classics and the Ardennes classics and had problems attracting the best riders. For several years, cycling great Eddy Merckx did not participate because organizers could not pay his starting fee. In 1973 race director Herman Krott agreed to pay a considerable sum to Merckx' team, provided that he would win the race. Merckx started and won the Amstel Gold Race more than three minutes ahead of the second-place finisher.[4] Two years later, he was the first rider to win a second time.
