Fuglsang and Alaphilippe disagree over Amstel Gold Race finale

For much of the final 30 kilometres of the Amstel Gold Race, there looked likely to be only one outcome to the Dutch Classic at the finish in Berg en Terblijt. With Julian Alaphilippe (Deceuninck-Quick Step) and Jakob Fuglsang (Astana) out on their own, the finale was reminiscent of Strade Bianche, where the duo rode together for the last 20km before the Frenchman triumphed in Tuscany.
