Swiss riders Marc Hirschi and Fabian Lienhard have signed with Tudor Pro Cycling and will be wearing the Tudor shield from the 1st of January 2025 onwards.


Bernese Marc Hirschi has signed a three-year contract with Fabian Cancellara’s Team. The relationship between the two men will take another dimension. Growing up in the same town as Fabian, Hirschi idolized Cancellara growing up and was lucky enough to have him as a mentor on his side during the first steps of his career. Going forward the two will work together even closer and strive for joint victories.


The recent winner of Donostia San Sebastian Klasikoa is looking forward to racing with Tudor Pro Cycling: “As a Swiss rider, it feels special to join a Swiss team. I am 25 so it is time for me to endorse the role of a leader and see how far I can go. Tudor Pro Cycling is giving me this opportunity and I hope to return the trust with some fine victories.”


For Fabian Cancellara Hirschi’s arrival is another milestone in their relationship: “Signing Marc feels like the next piece of the puzzle of our story. We have been supporting him for some time, we know him well and understand his needs. He is the right fit for the team and the values we stand for. We are convinced we can help him to achieve the highest level.”


30-year-old Fabian Lienhard, who signed a two-year contract, is looking forward to being back in Switzerland after five years abroad.  “Racing for a Swiss Team has always been my dream. Unfortunately, it never happened until now, so I am really happy it is becoming reality with Tudor Pro Cycling. I can’t wait to put my experience in Grand Tours and Classics to work and to support the young generation. I am also looking forward to working with a new coaching team and to being back on BMC bikes after spending a few months as a Stagiaire with the BMC Racing  Team in 2016 and a season with the Holowesko - Citadel p/b Arapahoe Resources Team in 2018. Hopefully this move will give another boost to my career.”


“We are excited to add Marc and Fabian to the team roster,” says Raphael Meyer, CEO of the Team. “Both bring massive experience and will help us to perform better as a team. Marc will be a leader in one-day and one-week stage races while Fabian will be another solid addition to the Classics team, which will always be an important part of our team. He will also be a role model and a mentor to the youngsters.  He is a solid rider with potential to still develop. These two additions make us very proud.”
