The Sidi East Coast Enduro Tour starts its eighteenth season in 2026, confirming its status as one of the leading enduro mountain bike series in Europe. The races focus on the eastern regions of France and attract riders from numerous nations.

The 2025 season once again demonstrated the appeal of the race: 1950 participants from 19 countries were registered, with the fastest riders covering more than two hours fifteen minutes of cumulative race time over six laps, in consistently ideal weather conditions.

In the elite men's category, the competition for victory was fiercely contested. Six different riders won the individual races, including established athletes such as Rémi Thirion, Hugo Pigeon, Olivier Bruwière and Elliot Baud as well as up-and-coming young talents, led by juniors Timéo Didier and Gabriel St-Thuile. St-Thuile won the overall classification in Saint-Dié-des-Vosges as well as Bussang and Saint-Maurice. Thanks to consistent performances, Baptiste Bachelet secured the overall victory of the season.

The competition was also strong in the women's race. Four different winners shaped the season, while new talents such as Lena Arndt, Puck Warnet, Inès Marchesan and Lucie Guth emerged. Ultimately, Servane Meyer won the overall title based on the five best results.

The e-mountain bike category continues to show strong growth. Émilien Serpaggi and Estelle Humbert won in a season of record participation, with some races attracting more than seventy participants. The successful race format was well received by riders.

In the other categories, the overall victories went to Martin Febvre (U17), Timéo Didier (U19), Hannes Suter (M40) and Mathias Avril (M50). The competitions were often very close, with strong fields of riders from France, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland and the Netherlands.
