I ride the line

I am Simon Pellaud, a Swiss professional cyclist.

After several seasons in the World Tour peloton (Vuelta a España 2015, Giro d'Italia 2020), I transitioned to a hybrid racing model. Today, I run a Privateer program dedicated to global gravel and endurance events.

Alongside my gravel objectives, I continue to race on the road with the continental team Li-Ning Star, primarily competing on the UCI Asia Tour calendar.

My Spirit

I am an attacking rider. Whether on the road or in gravel, I like to race aggressively and rely on long-range attacks. My goal is to fight for the top spots on the international gravel scene while keeping a foot in professional road racing.

My motto is "Ride the Line." For me, it simply means using the bike as a tool to discover the world. I approach cycling with a focus on performance, simplicity, and adventure. The race is the main objective, but the travel and the journey to get there are just as important.
