Intermarché-Wanty's 2025 season is flying with Arne Marit taking a hard-fought second place on stage two of the Tour Down Under. The Belgian sprinted to his second career World Tour podium, beaten by double stage winner Sam Welsford. Marit is second in the provisional general classification!
"After missing out on a good result in the first sprint of the season on my birthday yesterday, I'm thrilled with second place today. Things got tough on the third time up Menglers Hill - I got dropped with the other sprinters, but we managed to chase back and to rejoin the peloton with 10 kilometers to go without spending too much energy. I felt fresher than the previous day and my teammates Dion Smith and Dries De Pooter delivered a perfect lead out. This World Tour podium boosts my confidence, I'm eager for the next opportunity."
-Arne Marit
