THE TEAM
Swiss Side`s professional triathletes and cyclists.
Swiss Side's Pro Athletes
Our passion lies in the details. We study what makes us go faster and build products and programs to accomplish this. Our athletes are proof of that.
Swiss Side is proud to partner with and sponsor pro athletes at the top level of professional sports. All Swiss Side athletes are well equipped with our aerodynamic Swiss Side wheels. Furthermore, Swiss Side provides them with aerodynamic testing in the wind tunnel and optimisation of their bike set-up and position. Our products are all developed with and approved by pro athletes. That makes us confident in delivering unparalleled excellence and convincing in providing athletes as well as customers with high-end products.
Triathlon
Laura Philipp
The German town of Heidelberg is home to Laura, but race-wise, the whole world is her playground, and the number of Ironman 70.3 wins confirms that: 18 times overall! Also, she won 5 Ironman races in her career. Furthermore, she is the current Ironman World record holder with a time of just 8:20 hours. Not to forget that in 2021 and 2022 Laura was the Ironman European Champion. In 2023 Laura became 3rd in the World Championship in Kona followed by a World Champion title in 2024.
Sam Laidlow
The french pro triathlete started his career early and soon showed up with a new bike course record in Kona, Hawaii (2022) where he became second in the Ironman World Championship. A year later, in Nice, Sam crowned himself the Ironman World Champion.
Rico Bogen
We want to give a warm welcome to young German pro triathlete Rico Bogen. We are sure of a successful journey of testing, aero-optimisations, and winning even more races in 2026.
Jason West
Jason started triathlon at age 16 by getting involved in lots of local races. Now, his goals changed and Jason wants to win 70.3 World Championships. Most recently, he has become known as one of the quickest runners in the sport. We warmly welcome Jason on board and are looking forward to some testing, aero-coaching and winning races together as a team with him.
Road Cycling
Flurina Rigling
From 2024 on, Swiss Side partners with Flurina Rigling - owner of several UCI world championship medals (road, time trial, individual pursuit & track cycling).
Besides her successful life as a cyclist, Flurina shows great commitment to equal opportunities for parasport and women in cycling. "Paracycling is an opportunity to live my passion."
Probably her most iconic race wins were on home tarmac in Zürich: World Champion Road and TT. A few months earlier Flurina participated at the Paralympics in Paris and showed how strong she performs in different race situations. Truly inspiring.
Fabian Recher
Fabian Recher, born in 1999 in Philadelohia, USA, is a Swiss para-cyclist in the H4 category. He has represented Switzerland at the Paralympics and earned medals at the UCI Para-cycling Road World Championships, including silver and bronze at the 2024 event in Zurich. Fabian is known for his dedication to the sports.
