Amstel Gold Race
The Keutenberg is one of the last climbs of the Amstel Gold Race before the finish, just before the last ascent of the Cauberg. It is often a decisive climb on which a small group of riders will break away from the pack and will stay with each other until the foot of the Cauberg and on. No public is permitted on the Keutenberg during the race because in the past they have often caused chaos on the steep and narrow hill.[2]
