Forster excels in the snow

Swiss rider Lars Forster dealt best with the snow and ice in Zolder to claim his first World Cup victory. During the third round of the World Cup, no Belgians featured on the podium and the exceptional course conditions might have had a hand in ensuring that. Forster didn't need much to time to show how much he enjoyed the snow around the car circuit. He distanced the rest of the field on the second lap and then quickly built up a lead of half a minute on the rest of the field.
