AMSTERDAM, 21st April, 2025 (WAM) -- UAE Team Emirates XRG's Tadej Pogaar made a fine start to his Ardennes Classics campaign, finishing second at the Amstel Gold Race in a three-up photo finish to race winner Mattias Skjelmose (Lidl-Trek).

In third place was Soudal Quick-Step's Remco Evenepoel, who led the pursuit of Pogaar when the world champion was on a trademark long-range assault.

With the three coming to the line together, it was Evenepoel who opened up his sprint first, before Pogaar appeared to have come around the Brabantse Pijl winner at the line. However, with his own late burst, Skjelmose surged over their left-hand shoulders to win his first Amstel title in a photo finish.

Congratulating the Dane after the line, Pogaar was forced to settle for second place, two years after he and UAE Team Emirates-XRG won this race for the first time.
