Biography
Jaser was born April 10, 1989, in Aleppo, Syria. He would begin cycling at age 4. Jaser's father would die when he was 10 years old, and starting at age 12 he would begin working as a tailor until war reached his town, forcing him to flee to Damascus.
He, the occasional captain, and the other members of the Syrian national team would sell their bikes and begin the journey to seek refuge abroad. He would be part of a group that used an inflatable boat to travel from Turkey to Greece, before he began building a new life for himself in Germany which he reached in 2015. The refugees rejoin the world of competitive cycling in a velodrome in Berlin, bonded under Frank Röglin who would act as a coach and teacher as they acclimated to their new home and formed an amateur cycling team.
