The starting line up at Dabo included some of the world's leading Enduro riders: Nicolas Lau, Rémy Absalon, François Bailly-Maitre among the boys, and Claire Hassenfratz among the girls. In total, more than 400 riders took part with a large contingent of German and Swiss riders who had crossed over from neighbouring countries. The course was designed to get increasingly difficult both technically and physically from Special to Special, but with lots of fun mixed in. In short, an explosive cocktail of guaranteed pleasure!
