Dion Smith ended his Intermarché-Wanty team's victory drought at the Volta NXT Classic in the Netherlands, deploying the quickest finish at the line among the small leading group of six.
The New Zealander scored his team's first win of 2025 ahead of Frank Van Den Broek (Picnic-PostNL Development) and Niklas Larsen (BHS-PL Beton Bornholm).
Smith had joined the lead group with 17km to go, 6km after Van Den Broek's attack in the hills late in the race had instigated the move at the front.
