Vlad is in his first season with TFR. He stood on nine UCI World Cup podiums, and in 2023 added two third‑place UCI World Cup finishes along with a UCI European Championship title. Now, he’s itching for that first UCI World Cup win with the newly minted Trek‑Unbroken XC squad. Off the bike, Vlad loves quiet days spent with his family and his partner.
