Mathieu van der Poel has already impressed in 2024 with victories at the Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix. Now, with the Amstel Gold Race on the horizon, he faces the possibility of matching a prestigious record that only a few have achieved before him.
The Amstel Gold Race, the first great Ardennes classic, is an iconic race that challenges cyclists with its steep hills and winding roads. For van der Poel, who has proven his dominance on varied terrain, this race represents a new challenge and an opportunity to make his mark in cycling history.
At stake for van der Poel is the possibility of matching a select list of cyclists who have managed to win both the Tour of Flanders and the Amstel Gold Race in the same season. These names include cycling legends such as Eddy Merckx, Jan Raas, Philippe Gilbert and Tadej Pogačar.
If van der Poel can add his name to this distinguished list, he will not only cement his position as one of the most talented riders of his generation, but also write a new chapter in the history of Dutch cycling.

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
