"I don't think I quite believe it yet" - Demi Vollering in shock after taking the win at a wet Amstel Gold Race

Demi Vollering continued the Team SD Worx dominance of 2023 as she powered to victory in wet and windy conditions at the Amstel Gold Race ahead of her teammate Lotte Kopecky.
"This is really great. I don't think I quite believe it yet," Vollering revealed in her post-race interview. "This was the plan and we really executed it perfectly. I wanted to attack at top of the Cauberg. I saw that many ladies were already through it. So that was a really good moment."
Vollering's victory will come as a delight to the Dutch crowd on the roadside in the Netherlands and the 26-year-old from Pijnacker believes the cold and wet conditions played to her advantage. “The last kilometer was extremely painful,” she says. "I didn't dare look back. I just gave it my all and hoped they were a little hesitant behind me. And that happened. I knew that with the wattages I pedalled I would not be grabbed again."
“It was so cold, but I normally like that. I think that also worked to my advantage. It was a tough game, but I enjoyed it. I've been that close twice already. Then I relied on my sprint," Vollering continued. "But now that Lotte Kopecky was also in the front, I knew I could go for the attack. If that didn't work, we could play Lotte's card and turn it into a sprint."

- If you look at the major races they’ve both been in, van der Poel had the early edge as lately Pogacar has had the advantage. It’s all on procyclingstats.RidesHills23-12-2024
- I wouldn’t assume Tadej can’t win at cross. He did a cross race, not a World Cup, a few years ago and crushed the field. It was a minor race. But he can win anywhere.mij23-12-2024
