tour-VELO" magazine without Swiss split

The Bielefeld-based publishing house Delius-Klasing will discontinue the Swiss split of the monthly magazine "tour-VELO" after the September issue, which will be published at the end of August. This decision was made for economic reasons: The costs and income of the Swiss section had been disproportionate for some time, as Charly Schlott from Zürichsee Zeitschriftenverlag explained in a letter to advertisers and subscribers. The Swiss section of the magazine "bike", which is published by the same publishing house, is not affected by this decision.

It is interesting to see what alternative Schlott recommends to existing subscribers to the "tour-VELO" magazine. As Schlott also sits on the board of Swiss Cycling, he refers to Swiss Cycling's online "Journ@l". This raises the serious question of Schlott's dual commitment. Is a Swiss Cycling board member allowed to acquire advertisements for a specialist magazine at the same time as his mandate? If Fränk Hofer's dual mandate as president and head of training at the cycling association has already led to major discussions, this aspect would certainly be worthy of an agenda item at a board meeting.

Subscribers are advised to use the Swiss section of "bike", which continues to be published, as a platform - even if this may only appeal to suppliers from the racing bike segment to a limited extent.
