Biography

Oliver Hofstetter comes from a family where everyone but his father was devoted to sports. Cycling didn’t stand out until he was about 10 and started racing, winning every race he participated in for the next three years. Even as a Junior, when knee problems arose, Hofstetter didn’t lose his appetite for wins. For 2012, he has marked the date of the World Championships in red on his calendar and hopes to bring a lot to the team with his calm nature, a trait he shares with his friend and fellow countryman Oliver Zaugg of the ProTeam.
