Hansi Bächtold

Hansi Bächtold, born on 21 August 1956, is a Swiss retired sidecarcross rider and a four-time Sidecarcross World Champion. He won the world title from 1984 to 1987 together with his passenger Fritz Fuß, and the pair became the first combination to win the competition four times in a row. That feat was later repeated by the Swiss team of Andreas Fuhrer and Adrian Käser and surpassed by the Dutch rider Daniël Willemsen with six consecutive titles. Bächtold also won the Swiss national sidecarcross championship on five occasions, in 1979, 1981, 1984, 1986 and 1987.
