Surreal victory for Kwiatkowski in the Amstel Gold Race thanks to the photo finish

Date:

Haste is not usually a good advisor and more so when there is a reason for it. The Polish Michal Kwiatkowski and the French Benoit Cosnefroy they played for victory in 56th Amstel Gold Race in a very close sprint, one of them could win either of them, and after a few seconds of waiting the judges gave Cosnefroy the win, but after reviewing the finished picture they justly declared the win to Kwiatkowski (31 years old), which prevailed with little ‘clarity’. One went to hell from heaven in the blink of an eye and the other embraced glory after falling into frustration.

+ LIVE THE AMSTEL GOLD RACE

So ended an exciting 56th edition of the Amstel Gold Race, 254 kilometers between Maastricht and Valkenburg, Along with their respective 30 explosive hillswho did not narrateand Tadej Pogacar not either Wout van Aert, Looking forward to seeing you at Paris-Roubaix Next week.

yes there was Mathieu van der Poel that in the end he was not as fierce as he had painted and that he had to live in an ungrateful fourth place. Amstel really started to break at 40 kilometers to go, when the team Ineos, the most tightened the rope at the head of the group of celebrities, accelerated in barbaric manner. a accommodating Tiesj Benoot (Jumbo-Visma) only he can cut the rope. As a result of his attack, the first notable casualties were committed.

The main moment of the Amstel

And it has 19 kilometers to go Cosnefroy and Kwiatkowski They turned on the gas faucet. Their other escapees let them do so and despite the fact that they still had hills ahead of them like those in Geulhemmerberg and Bemelerberg they were able to maintain a sufficient advantage over their pursuers to play victory against each other. in the back, Van der Poël He tried several times, but no one cooperated with him and eventually, physically and mentally exhausted, he lifted his leg, which Cosnefroy and Kwiatkowski took advantage of to play victory between them.

The two ventured out and knew how to play the margin, on a long straight where the chasers were very close to them, but not enough. Cosnefroy first launched the final attack, and the judges gave him an initial victory, to straighten out later and serve the best beer to Kwiatkowski, whose a priori his job was work for thomas pidcock and he will finally achieve his 28th success as a professional and the fourth success for Polish cycling so far this season. Appropriate third place for Tiesj Benoot. He triggered a decisive battle and was eventually able to climb the podium.

A good appetizer for the Amstel Gold Race a week before the Paris-Roubaix, from the expected hell of the north.
