Adrien Dailly won the final round of the 2026 UCI Enduro World Cup in Morillon on 16 August and claimed the overall series title. The French rider overturned an 82-point deficit on the last day of the season, winning the race by a clear margin on home soil.
A gap that decided the season
The race was fought over eight stages across two days in the Haute-Savoie. Dailly set the pace early and held the lead throughout day two, posting the fastest time on Stage 5.
Series leader Lief Rodgers arrived needing a podium finish to secure his first title. He could only manage sixth, and Dailly made the chance his own.
27 seconds clear on the final mountain
Dailly's combined time of 41:56.183 was never threatened. Tarmo Ryynänen finished second, over 27 seconds back, with Gabriel Sainthuile third.
The decisive Stage 8 was a long, demanding descent covering 5.03 kilometres and plunging 912 metres. Dailly was second-fastest on the stage, missing the top time by less than half a second, but it was more than enough to seal the crown.
The win was a test of pure pressure. Dailly knew only victory would guarantee the title, and he delivered his strongest ride with the season on the line.
Attention now turns to the World Championships in Finale Ligure, but the French summer belongs to Dailly. He arrived needing a near-perfect weekend and leaves as the undisputed World Cup champion.
