After a successful inaugural season in 2014 with over 600 participants from 20 nations, the European Enduro Series is expanding the diversity of the race calendar in 2015. In addition to the existing stops in Punta Ala (Italy) and on the Reschen Pass in the border triangle of Austria, Italy and Switzerland, three attractive venues have been added: Sölden (AUT), Molvena-Paganella (ITA) and Málaga (ESP). In Sölden, the first downhill stage leads over the glacier, the trails in the border triangle are among the best in Europe and in Molveno-Paganella, the race starts at a picturesque mountain lake and then breaks the rated depth record. Málaga, one of Europe's up-and-coming bike regions, will be the season finale of the race series.

The format is not exclusively for top athletes. It is also aimed at those riders who like to compete with the best riders on the continent but are not supported by large teams that allow them to travel the entire planet. Innsbruck-based organizer Georgy Grogger is convinced that this series represents the long-lost link between national competitions and the Enduro World Series in the European Enduro circus.Each of the five tour stops is a two-day event, with the first day being a mandatory route inspection for all participants and the second day being the race. The series rules developed specifically for the Eruopean Enduro Series are applied to all races and are subject only to UCI regulations in the final instance. In addition to licensed riders, amateurs can also be part of the 350-strong field of riders per race. In addition to the elite men's and women's categories, the Juniors, Masters 30+, Masters 40+ and Masters 50+ categories will be added.

The 2015 European Enduro Series organization team is determined to take the next step with a professionalized event concept and valuable experience from the previous year. When selecting the venues, great importance will be attached to ensuring that they are also enduro-worthy and relatively easy to reach. In addition, all stops should reflect different aspects of this discipline. According to Grogger, the European Enduro Series will be like a guided tour through the best enduro areas in Europe for the participants - unfortunately, Switzerland has been forgotten.

The races in Punta Ala (ITA), Sölden (AUT), Reschenpass (ITA, AUT, CH), Molveno-Paganella (ITA) and Málaga (ESP) each promise first-class race courses.
