Cult Energy Pro Cycling have received a wildcard for one of the big one-day race – Amstel Gold Race. The 50th anniversary edition of the Dutch one-day classic will be held on 19th of April 2015. The race is hilly and well-known for its steep slopes and narrow roads and traditionally riders are crossing the finish line in small groups. Philippe Gilbert won the 2014 edition of the race.

Cult Energy Pro Cycling DS Michael Skelde states:

“Of course, it’s a privilege and an honor to be selected to participate in this year’s Amstel Gold Race. It’s an acknowledgement and recognition of us from the organizers and we are looking very much forward to being a part of one of the biggest one-day classics of the season. We are a small team compared to our opponents but I believe that Fabian (Wegmann) will be able to pull a top 10 result and that will be our goal in addition to racing aggressively like we usually do. In addition, we have a young and talented Rasmus Guldhammer in our team and Amstel Gold Race will be a race for him in the years to come. I truly believe he has the talent and the power to be a contender for the win in a few years’ time."
