Andreas Hüsser

Andreas Hüsser, born on 10 February 1954, is a retired Swiss sidecarcross passenger who twice won the Sidecarcross World Championship, in 1988 and 1989, sitting behind his older twin brother Christoph Hüsser. In sidecarcross the passenger works with the driver as one crew, shifting weight over the rough circuit, and Hüsser began in that role in 1973, making his Swiss national championship debut with Joe Schwegler. His career gathered pace from 1976, when he joined Robert Grogg and won three consecutive European Championships, the predecessor of the world title, through 1978, with the pair taking 24 of 42 races in that period. He also won the Swiss national championship five times, from 1976 to 1978 with Grogg and in 1988 and 1990 with his brother. After spells with Terry Good and Ruedi Herren in the mid 1980s he rode with Christoph from 1987 until his career ended in 1993.
