Following his fourth victory of the season at Wednesday's 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Brabantse Pijl, the bridging race between the cobbled Classics and the upcoming Ardennes triple, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Benoît Cosnefroy believes 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mathieu van der Poel can be beaten at the Amstel Gold Race.

The biggest race in the Netherlands is the next on the world champion's hitlist ahead of a tilt at a third Monument victory of th💃e season at Liège-Bastogne-Liège.

Five years ago, van der Poel won at 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Amstel Gold Race with a stunning come-from-behind ride, while in 2022, his most recent participation at the race, he was fourth, two spots behind Cosnefroy, who was pipped to the line by Michał Kwiatkowski.

The Frenchman, who has been in fine form this spring, told that in spite💫 of the added challenge posed by Van der Poel racing, his presence can also provide opportunities for others to make moves.

"The circumstances made this win possible," Cosnefroy said of his Brabantse Pijl triumph💝. "When Mathieu is in a race, he's watched a lot by other riders and it's perhaps easier for riders who are outsiders to express themselves."

Cosnefroy, now in his eighth season at 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale and one of the team leaders, noted that the hilly parℱcours of Amstel Gold Race is a world away from the flat, brutal cobbles of Paris-Roubaix.

Could that mean the race will be harder to control fo🍬r Van der Poel's Alpecin-Deceuninck team?

"In Paris-Roubaix, Van der Poel had an exceptional team who did a lot of the work for him," Cosnefro🐻y said. 

"But there it's a very flat race whereas Amstel Gold Race is a little less🏅 easy to control and it's perhaps harder to make large gaps too.

"I don'tﷺ really know, but in my head, I think it's possible," he concluded on𓂃 the question of once again being able to beat the Dutch star on home ground.

Cosnefroy is set to lead a Decathlon AG2R team iꦦncluding Dorion Godon, Paul Lapeira, and Oliver Naesen at Sunday's race, while Nicolas Guillé will be among the te𒉰am's directeurs sportifs in Limburg.

"I won't get overexcited. We'll first savour this victory," Guillé told L🎃'Equipe when asked about the team's chances at the weekend.

"It's still a race and we'll also see a lot of the riders who were racing here," he concluded, hinting at the other contenders who will also be present, including Dylan Teuns and Michael Matthews as well as those who didn't race Brabantse Pijl, such as Tom Pidcock, Matej Mohorič, and Richard Cararpaz
