Shanghai Swans

The Shanghai Swans return for 2026 with unmistakable intent —-a team built not just to compete, but to control the championship narrative. Long regarded as one of the most consistent and tactically astute outfits in the Global Champions League, the Swans once again assemble a roster packed with podium pedigree.

At the heart of the squad is rider-manager Max Kühner, whose strategic leadership and precision riding continue to define the team’s identity. Alongside him stand proven championship heavyweights Christian Ahlmann, Daniel Deusser, and LGCT Champion Ben Maher - a quartet that brings experience, composure and an exceptional strike rate under pressure.

Adding fresh momentum to the line-up is exciting Italian talent Giacomo Casadei, whose fearless approach and growing confidence at 5* level inject new energy into the squad. Swiss competitor Jane Richard completes the team, bringing valuable experience and depth across all stages of the season.

With world-class firepower, tactical clarity and serious championship ambition, the Shanghai Swans enter 2026 as one of the strongest and most balanced teams on the grid - poised, powerful and ready to soar once again.
