Groupama-FDJ "can compete with the best" at Amstel Gold Race through David Gaudu and Valentin Madouas

With the likes of David Gaudu and Valentin Madouas in their ranks, Groupama-FDJ go into the Amstel Gold Race quietly confident of upsetting the applecart and taking home the win.

Madouas secured himself the best Amstel Gold Race result of his career in 2019 when he finished in 8th position, but fully contested the final, race-winning sprint that was eventually won by Mathieu van der Poel. The Frenchman also comes into the race in solid form having most recently crossed the line in 4th at Paris-Camembert. Gaudu meanwhile has also shown good racing legs so far this season including finishing 2nd overall at Paris-Nice.
