Wanty-Groupe Gobert takes the start in the 50th edition of the Amstel Gold Race this Sunday. After the Volta a Catalunya, E3 Harelbeke, Ghent-Wevelgem, Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix, it's the sixth WorldTour race of the season the Belgian team received a wildcard for. 
 

With Enrico Gasparotto the Wanty-Groupe Gobert squad has a former winner on the team. The Italian won the race in the south of the Netherlands in 2012. In 2010 he finished on the podium. Marco Marcato came in eighth that year. 

"I am ready and I am looking forward to it. I have been training a lot and now I want to show myself," Gasparotto said.

"I spend about 35 days training, mostly alone, on the Teide (Tenerife), far from my wife and family and that hasn't always been easy. Ruta del Sol, Volta a Catalunya & Circuit de la Sarthe have all been with this week of racing on my mind. I am now extremely motivated for these races because I really am a rider for Amstel Gold Race, Flèche Wallonne and Liège-Bastogne-Liège." 

It will be Bjorn Leukemans's tenth Amstel Gold Race. In 2005, 2011 and 2013 he finished in the top ten. Last year the Belgian came in 11th.
