Mattias Skjelmose has sensationally upset the world champion and the Olympic champion, outsprinting Tadej Pogacar and Remco Evenepoel in a thrilling three-up fight for the line this Sunday afternoon at Amstel Gold Race 2025.
Pogacar had threatened to ride away to one of his typical solo masterpieces, but some powerful chasing by Skjelmose and Evenepoel did the impossible and reeled back the Slovenian, setting up a grandstand finale. Through the Flamme Rouge the trio were still all locked together at the front, and as they started playing cat and mouse, the chase was closing. In the sprint it was the incredible Mattias Skjelmose who prevailed ahead of the world champion and the Olympic champion!

- 3 youngsters out in front and 10 people within 2 minutes. Not very long ago, all it took to gain 2 minutes on every other rider was a big effort in a mountain stage but that doesn’t seem to happen anymore.Mistermaumau18-05-2025

- Roads outside the capital are some of the best in the world, tarmac smooth as track. Beautiful tea-plantation landscapes, perfect weather, delicious cheap fruit. People are friendly but « sticky » with cyclists. Truck and bus drivers are criminal, you’ll experience feeling like Bernal anywhere busy. Globally not cheap. Genocide museum is peaceful but heavy. Lake Kivu is amazing (also to swim in) but has some dark « mysteries » Take a dirty bike, they’ll clean (chain too) & oil it for 1$. If you have a spare old working bike, consider saving on its return ticket and helping local cycling/triathlon associations, they’re athletes have nothing and they’ll find a way to keep it alive with whatever means, like connecting an old spoke to any broken one to retighten a wheel. Tourist attractions are expensive but pay for useful activities (protecting wildlife mainly). Plastic bags are banned, theft is very badly frowned upon so unlikely, service is generally bad but it helps if you explain what you expect. Go do it, it’s a great experience (if you wait a few more years, cycling friend of mine is building rental homes at the lake and will be organising bike tours).Mistermaumau18-05-2025
- Achilles heal lol. He has more mountain bike results than most full time mountain bikers will ever have.mij18-05-2025
- Primoz certainly had some sh*t luck today, and I feel badly for him, but that's racing. Now we're left an unexpected leaderboard, and I think that it's going to make the rest of this Giro very interesting to watch.
santiagobenites18-05-2025 - Win or lose Egan Bernal is a class act.Cyclingsbestfan18-05-2025
- Wout really needed this win. He needed it much more than Isaac did, and Isaac has the 'consolation' prize of leading the Giro now with a decent margin, so it was a win-win situation.santiagobenites18-05-2025
- He knows how to answer a tricky question that may get him into trouble with his teammates. All the best to him. May he win this GT!
