After being caught after his solo effort and missing out on victory at the Amstel Gold Race, Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) admitted that he was perhaps "too enthusiastic" making such an early attack with just under 50km to ride at the Dutch one-day race.
Pogačar moved away from the group of favourites with Julian Alaphilippe (Tudor) over the Gulperberg, but ended up alone with 42km still to ride on the next climb up the Kruisberg, as the Frenchman blew up behind his seated acceleration.
