For the second time in his career, Spain's Alberto Contador (Astana) won the Amstel Curaçao Race in the Netherlands Antilles.

Tour de France green jersey winner Hushovd outsprinted Dutch road champion Moerenhout moments later to round out the podium.
Moerenhout launched the winni💝ng move when he attacked on the Juliana Bridge and was joined by Contador and Hushovd.
