Help me build the bike that can take me to Kona
In 2023, I made a decision that changed my life. After five years working at the UCI (Union Cycliste Internationale), I left my full-time job and committed to something I'd dreamed about for years: becoming a professional long-course triathlete.
Until then, I had been racing as an age-group athlete while balancing training with a career. I knew I had the potential to see how far I could go, but I also knew that at some point I had to take the risk and find out.
Since turning professional in 2024, things have moved faster than I could have imagined.
I've gone from age-group racing to competing against the best long-course athletes in the world. In 2025, I finished 6th at Ironman Austria, 11th at Challenge Roth and 4th at Ironman Copenhagen in 7:33:29. That fourth place earned me a place at my first professional Ironman World Championship in Nice.
Today, I'm ranked inside the top 100 in the PTO World Rankings, and my bike is one of my strongest weapons. I believe the power I can produce on the bike is competitive with the very best in the sport.
The problem is that my equipment hasn't quite caught up with my ambitions. My frame is unfortunately too small as well.
I'm now raising funds towards a new race bike for the 2027 season. I'm already putting my own money into the project by selling my current bike, and this fundraiser will cover the remaining cost.
My goal is simple: to become one of the best long-course triathletes in the world and earn my place on the start line at the Ironman World Championships - Kona in 2027.
I've already taken the biggest risk by leaving a secure career to pursue this dream. I've already shown that I can compete at the front of major races. Now I want to give myself the equipment, preparation and opportunity to find out just how far I can take it.
And I'd love for you to be part of that journey.
Your name on the bike
Every contribution over 100 CHF will have their name inscribed onto my 2027 race bike!
Your name will be there, taking me towards some very fast bike splits in 2027 and beyond.
This isn't just about buying a faster bike. It's about giving a professional athlete the tools to make the most of the ability I've worked years to develop.
If you believe I can make that next step, I'd be incredibly grateful for your support.
Let's see what happens when the equipment finally matches the engine.
Thank you for being part of the journey.
