Marc de Maar will discover a new continent in 2017. Last summer the Dutchman announced that he would leave the road to focus on mountain biking in the coming season but he has now abandoned that idea. The 32-year-old who has been with the Rabobank, UnitedHealthcare-Maxxis and Roompot Oranje Peloton teams, will ride on the Asia Tour next year.
De Maar has signed a one-year deal with the Chinese team Wisdom-Hengxiang from the continental division. The team has been doing the biggest races of the continent like the Tours of Langkawi, China, Japan and Korea.
Having won the Tour of Norway in 2014, Marc de Maar notably took second place in the Tour of Luxembourg while riding for Roompot Oranje Peloton. Hampered by a knee injury and a broken collarbone, he failed to get significant results in 2016.
