Lars Forster (Thömus Maxon) attacked on the final lap to take victory in the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup in Leogang, Austria. The Swiss rider finished 14 seconds ahead of Luca Schwarzbauer (Canyon- CLLCTV) in second, while Ondrej Cink (Primaflor Mondraker Genuins) finished third.

“I had a pretty good start and just felt good today. I told myself to be patient, and reminded myself about the heat and how long the race was. I just took my time and started to gain places and started to think I might be able to get a top 5," Forster said.
