The insurance company ÖKK becomes the new official partner of the PROFFIX Swiss Bike Cup and supports the training of future top Swiss athletes with its commitment.

At the Cyclo-cross World Championships in Bogensee, Denmark, the Swiss do well despite not winning any medals. First and foremost Jolanda Neff, who fought her way up to sixth place despite a poor starting position. Loris Rouiller and Nicole Koller both finished eighth in the U23 races. The men's title went to Mathieu Van der Poel, while Sanne Cant won the women's race.

The racing season has already started for Thomas Litscher. The Orbea Team rider took part in the four-day UCI category S1 mountain bike stage race on the Canary Island of Lanzarote to prepare for the season. He finished eighth overall. The race was won by Bartlomiej Wawak ahead of Nadir Colledani and Ben Zwiehoff.

At the SA Cup races in Bloemendal in Durbanville, South Africa, Matthias Stirnemann returns to winning ways. He defeats Sam Gaze in the sprint. His training colleague Joel Roth finishes fourth. In the second race, Stirnemann finishes sixth despite a crash. Kathrin Stirnemann rides to second place in both races, with Annie Last (GBR) a tick ahead both times.
