THE TEAM

Patrick Lange is not only the 2017 and 2018 Ironman World Champion, but he also became the first athlete to break the magic 8-hour mark in this race (07h 52min 39sec). A record that Swiss Side and partners had been working on with Patrick in Project 101. The aerodynamic optimization work with Patrick is ongoing – and very successful: In 2021 (Tulsa, USA) and 2022 (Israel) he won several Ironman races, as well as Challenge Roth in 2021 and got second in 2023. The success continues as Patrick became Vize-World-Champion in 2023.

The German town of Heidelberg is home to the 35-year-old athlete, but race-wise, the whole world is her playground, and the number of Ironman 70.3 wins confirms that: 17 times overall! Also, she won 4 Ironman world cups 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 Laura was the Ironman European Champion and 3 years before (2018) she won Ironman Barcelona with a new course record. In 2023 Laura already won 2 Ironmans, we are excited to see what comes next.

The 36-year-old from Bülach, Switzerland, has left his mark on his home race by winning Ironman Switzerland three times in a row. In the 2021 season, he was runner-up at the Ironman race in Tulsa (USA). In 2022 he could decide on the Inferno Triathlon in Mürren, Swiss, for himself and stood on the podium at the Ironmen Mexico as 2nd. To ensure that his success story continues, and Jan achieves his professional goals Swiss Side supports him with the number one aerodynamic wheels and professional aero optimization. We are happy that we supported Jan on his last dance in Switzerland Ironman. Congratulations to his win and his whole career.

Motherhood and top performance go together quite well as the 34-year-old athlete from Darmstadt, Germany, has proved quite impressive in the past years. Not only at Challenge Roth, Ironman Italy, Ironman 70.3 Zell am See – and this was just the 2018/1 season. In 2022 she won the Ironman Frankfurt and the Ironman Africa Championship. Swiss Side is proud to work with such a powerful female triathlon athlete. Her win in Zell am See 2023 is just one of the remarkable performance from Daniela.

The 34-year-old from St. Étienne, France, debuted in Ironman racing back in 2011, after graduating in civil engineering. He collected his first win in 2014 and showed that he has not lost his force in all the years after by winning several Ironman 70.3. In 2022 he finished first at the Ironman in Germany and in 2021 as well in Austria. A special year was 2022 as he achieved his personal best time at the Ironman distance – after optimizing his aerodynamics on the triathlon bike together with Swiss Side. 2023 started well and Denis decided Ironman Hamburg for him and became European Champion.

The 34-year-old Swiss triathlete from Rüegsau is a member of the Swiss national team, focusing mainly on Olympic distance racing. He’s got five Swiss Championship titles under his belt, won the silver medal at the European Championships 2018 in the Mixed Relay category, and competed and finished successfully at different Ironman 70.3 under top ten results in 2021/2022.
