After taking a surprising 2021 UEC Continental Cyclocross championship last week, Lars van der Haar showed that his victory at the Col du Vam was no fluke.
After shedding his competitors one by one, Van der Haar entered the final lap with only World Cup leader Eli Iserbyt and Quinten Hermans in the rearview.
Despite being one of the few riders to not bunnyhop the barriers, Van der Haar ran the uphill planks and ran away with the victory with a final last lap surge, following a similar playbook to his teammate who won the Elite Women’s race.
