Team DSM is having a fantastic weekend, with two wins already in the bag. Marius Mayrhofer was the one who brought the second victory home as he sprinted to the finish line to win the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race.
“It means everything to me,” said the German rider. He continues, “The last race I won was in the juniors, so to finally take my first win means everything. The team did an awesome job all day.”

He shared the blueprint of his team's strategy. “We did this hard climb four times, and every time I was in the front because of them. They covered the moves so I could stick in the bunch and save energy for the final. There is a little downhill before the finish where I could build up speed, and I then launched the sprint early and went full gas to the line,” explains Mayrhofer.
This is a defining moment in his career as it marks his first professional win. Though he had participated in the Tour Down Under, his results were not as he had hoped, but he can now leave Australia with happy memories. “I was dreaming of this victory for so long, I cannot believe what happened.
This is such a great victory for us. We were riding so well together in Tour Down Under and didn’t quite get the result we wanted, so to finish our time off in Australia with a win today is unbelievable. Thanks to the whole team, staff and everyone – they really deserve to have the win too,” concluded Mayrhofer.
