Swiss Cycling is growing. In recent years, services for the squad athletes have been successively expanded thanks to the success-based funding from Swiss Olympic. Accordingly, the number of days on which the squad athletes are on the road with the national team has steadily increased. As this pleasing development is associated with a steady increase in overall expenditure and will continue to do so in the future in view of the Road World Championships taking place in Switzerland in 2020 and 2024, the Swiss Cycling Federation is making structural adjustments.

Thomas Peter, previously responsible for the entire sports sector, but also directly for competitive sport, now holds the title of Sports Director. The 39-year-old from Bern will be given more resources for overarching issues. Beat Müller, previously U19 national mountain bike coach, will in future be Head of Competitive Sports. The 37-year-old from St. Gallen will be responsible for performance diagnostics and sports science projects, but will also take on organizational tasks. The post of U19 national MTB coach will be taken over by former cross-country pro Martin Gujan. Over the past two years, the 36-year-old from Graubünden has built up the regional training base in Eastern Switzerland on a part-time basis.

Luana Bergamin, former Head of Elite Sport at PluSport and Chef de Mission at the 2018 Paralympic Games in Pyeongchang, will take over as Head of Services. The 33-year-old from Graubünden succeeds Virginie Marquis, who worked as assistant to Managing Director Markus Pfisterer and is leaving Swiss Cycling. The position will be redefined and the owner will be given more responsibilities. Bergamin slips into the role of "Minister of the Interior", takes a seat on the Executive Board and keeps the Managing Director's back free.
