N1NO Schurter and Lars Forster are the newly crowned Swiss Epic Champions. The 5-day stage race in the Swiss alps was dominated from the start to finish by the two SCOTT-SRAM champions.
Davos, Switzerland. Having missed this year’s Cape Epic and a big part of the racing season, it really felt great to be back racing. The Swiss Epic delivered an amazing event making up a bit for what we missed. N1NO Schurter and Lars Forster took the opportunity to show their best winning 4 out of 5 stages securing the Swiss Epic Champions title in an impressive way.

The 5 day stage race started in Laax, moved on to the famous mountain town of Arosa and finished in the city of Davos. 320km with 12250 meters of climbing. Not a walk in the park by any means, many say that Swiss Epic is harder than Cape Epic.
N1NO Schurter and Lars Forster as the current Cape Epic Champions went into the well attended race as the favourites. Additionally, they had the big advantage over the international competitors in that they raced on home turf. A little advantage which obviously payed off.
