He became a professional in 2002 for [[Team Fakta]] where he rode with fellow Dane [[Allan Johansen]]. In 2004 they both switched to [[BankGiroLoterij (cycling team)|BankGiroLoterij]] where Lars Bak would win his first professional win, but as the BankGiroLoterij team stopped after the 2004 season, both Bak and Johansen went to [[Team CSC]] in 2005. Here, Lars Bak won the Danish [[Bicycling terminology#open road race|Road Racing]] Championship, and in the later half of the season he showed his strength and talent as a good upcoming rider, as Bak won the meriting ten stages long U/25 race [[Tour de l'Avenir]]. He conquered the leader's jersey by sprinting to the win in a group of four riders on the first stage, a position he defended through the following nine stages bar one, including a [[time trial]] and a number of hilly stages. == Major wins == {{palmares start}} * '''2004''' ** [[Bicycling terminology#stage|Stage]] 1, [[Tour de Luxembourg]]. * '''2005''' ** Danish [[Bicycling terminology#open road race|Road Racing]] Championship. ** Stage 1 and Overall, [[Tour de l'Avenir]]. ** [[Paris-Bourges]] {{palmares end}} == References == *[http://www.feltet.dk/larsbak/ Official site] (in [[Danish language|Danish]]) *[http://www.team-csc.com/person_profiles.asp?p_id=72 Profile at Team CSC] (source for this article) * [http://www.dewielersite.net/db2/wielersite/coureurfiche.php?coureurid=517 Profile] {{Team CSC}} <!-- Metadata: see [[Wikipedia:Persondata]] --> {{Persondata |NAME= Bak, Lars Ytting |ALTERNATIVE NAMES= |SHORT DESCRIPTION=[[Road bicycle racer]] |DATE OF BIRTH= [[1980-01-16]] |PLACE OF BIRTH=[[Silkeborg]], [[Denmark]] |DATE OF DEATH= |PLACE OF DEATH= }} {{DEFAULTSORT:Bak, Lars}} [[Category:1980 births]] [[Category:Living people]] [[Category:Danish cyclists]] [[Category:People from Silkeborg]] [[da:Lars Bak]] [[de:Lars Bak]] [[fr:Lars Ytting Bak]] [[nl:Lars Bak]] [[no:Lars Bak]] [[sv:Lars Bak]]
