CyclingSaturday, 15 April 2023 at 15:30
Astana Qazaqstan Team seemed to finally get up to speed, and Alexey Lutsenko will be a dangerous outsider for all Ardennes classics. After winning the Giro di Sicilia the Kazakh has immediately travelled to the Netherlands to take part in the Amstel Gold Race.
Lutsenko was an under-23 world champion back in 2012 in Valkenburg, in the same roads he's set to take part in tomorrow. Despite this he's never finished in the Top10 in his six participation in the first of the Ardennes classics.
Astana will have a strong team consisting of puncheurs such as Simone Velasco and Cristian Scaroni, rouleurs such as Samuele Battistella and Gianni Moscon, and climbers such as David de la Cruz and Andrey Zeits which will give the team cards to play in an aggressive race.
Astana Qazaqstan Team for Amstel Gold Race:
Alexey Lutsenko, Samuele Battistella, David de la Cruz, Andrey Zeits, Simone Velasco, Gianni Moscon and Cristian Scaroni.

- I would be very happy to have in my team the best sprinter now (Tim Merlier). And young talents like Magnier and Lecerf. I can't understand why he despises his own riders so much, as if he had nothing to do with it. He was the one who directed and decided the destiny of the Soudal, he decided to invest almost all the money in Remco and build a team to support him... now, what does he want in major classics? Absurd.

- "Mathieu has also cleaned up everything on the road in the past two years" This year he was given a fight by Pogi in MSR and PR. and he was defeated in Flanders. In other races he is not even close to winning. There was no cleanup.abstractengineer03-05-2025
- Surely people had more fun watching you and your old "coworkers" saving energy for 4-5 hours and attacking the last 500 meters. Uff.. very funny. Typical resentful "old" cyclists against an incredibly talented (and disruptive) young man.maria2024202403-05-2025
- What's more pressure than trying to beat MVDP in a one-day sprinter's classic? It's like trying to win a grand tour stage in a bunch sprint.. They both put each other in the pressure cooker, but JV needs to win, in my opinion, more than TP. Throw in Primoz and Remco in the climber's mix, and its going to be an exciting TDF.FredMan03-05-2025
- You're saying you'd rather believe LA than TP? Both great competitors but 2 different personalities altogether..FredMan03-05-2025

- Why would you expect cycling to be different than any other sport? World Tour riders pass tests in and out of competition, so the playing field is as level as can be found in any high level competition.

leedorney02-05-2025 - Anna Kiesenhofer used the same method to prepare for the Tokyo Olympics, intervals while wearing her winter gear. Seemed to work really well for her!RidesHills02-05-2025
