Amstel Gold awards wild-card to Shimano - Memory Corp

Organisers of the Amstel Gold Pro Tour race have awarded one of two wild card entries to the Shimano - Memory Corp Professional Cycling Team, the Netherland's only Pro Continental team.

Slated for April 17 this year, Shimano - Memory Corp's participation enables the team's captain, German Stefan Schumacher, to compete with the world's best riders in one of the world's biggest one-day events. For the Japanese riders in the team, the Amstel Gold will be their first acquaintance with an event of the highest level, and for the young Dutch riders, participation in the 40th edition of the youngest of the Spring Classics is obviously of great value for their development.
