Amstel Gold Race 2023: Controversy, Masterclass, and Victories.
TL;DR Summary
Amstel Gold Race director Leo van Vliet has denied that the lead organisation car had any effect on the outcome of the race, despite TV footage showing the car remaining close ahead of winner Tadej Pogačar immediately after overtaking him. Van Vliet insisted that the car had no choice but to spend a brief period of time in front of Pogačar for safety reasons. Pogačar recognised that the car had been too close but pointed out that the lead director’s car’s pulling ahead of a breakaway was the kind of manoeuvre that happens in all races.
