World champion Chantal Blaak (Boels Dolmans) won the women's Amstel Gold Race on, taking a three-up sprint ahead of Lucinda Brand (Team Sunweb) and Amanda Spratt (Mitchelton-Scott).
Anna van der Breggen (Boels-Dolmans) was a dominant winner last year, going on to claim an unprecedented Ardennes triple. But this time around it was Blaak who continued Boels-Dolmans' success.
It was a hilly parcours that finished on the three 17.8-kilometre circuits that featured the Geulhemmerberg, Bemelerberg and Cauberg climbs. From the top of the Cauberg, there were 1.7 kilometres to the finish line.
