Fritz Fuß

Fritz Fuß is a retired Swiss sidecarcross passenger and four times Sidecarcross World Champion, having won the competition from 1984 to 1987 as the passenger of Hansi Bächtold. The duo became the first-ever combination to win the competition four times in a row, a feat later repeated by the Swiss team of Andreas Fuhrer and Adrian Käser and surpassed by Dutch rider Daniël Willemsen with six consecutive titles.

Apart from his four World Championship triumphs he has also won the Swiss national sidecarcross championship on three occasions, in 1984, 1986 and 1987.

Biography Fritz Fuß made his sidecarcross debut in the Swiss championship in 1982, joining Hansi Bächtold in mid-season. Success during that season was limited with a fourth place overall in Switzerland and a seventh in the World Championship. The 1983 season, now with Fritz Fuß as permanent passenger, saw improvement with a runners-up finish in the national and a sixth place in the World Championship. Fuß initially contemplated continuing his sidecarcross career but in the end never competed in the Swiss or World Championship again.
