Already at the age of six he rode his first race and thus launched his successful career. Lars Forster is already a two-time European champion, World Cup winner and Cape Epic winner, and further successes in the Thömus maxon jersey are to follow. On the bike he is a multi-talent and was, in addition to his successes on MTB, already multiple Swiss champion in cyclocross.
He likes fun in training but is a fighter in the race. If he still had the leading group in sight on the final lap, he can mobilize incredible forces.
