PTP 2025 - Amstel Gold Race - Sunday 20th April

[red.rider]

256km and 34 hellingen await the riders on Sunday. This year the final ascent of the Cauberg is much closer to the finish line in Valkenburg, which might change how the parcours is raced.

Startlist
Last year's winner Tom Pidcock comes in fresh, while Remco will have start his second race day of the year. Ben Healy, Thibaut Nys, Marc Hirshi also have a good chance. But all eyes will be on the Paris-Roubaix runner up...

Curious why there’s no PTP for the women? They have a race too.

For the last 10 years or so the only women's races that were included in PTP were the worlds and the nationals, but the latter was dropped a few years ago for both men and women.

Red.rider added some more women's races this year.

There used to be some discussion at the start of the year about which races to include, but with the forum change, a decline in the number of players and, more importantly, a shortage of people willing to do the admin, this year has been a bit different.

So essentially if you want to see the women's Amstel Gold race included you need to make the case at the start of the season and offer to score it.

For what it is worth, I don't particularly like the inclusion of the women's races because I don't watch them; however, as I'm not responsible for scoring the only hardship for me is picking one extra rider.

I didn't realise it was a scored thing, just thought we were picking our winners. Makes sense.
