Here are the Official Rankings of MBIKE ADVENTURE RACE 2026. After two intense days on the legendary Tana - Mantasoa - Tana ride, riders faced one of the most demanding MTB challenges of the season.
From brutal climbs and technical descents to forest trails and rocky sections, every kilometer tested endurance, strategy, and determination.
Designed for experienced cyclists seeking a true adventure, the course pushed participants beyond their limits. The constantly changing terrain required both physical strength and complete focus, especially during the final ascents where fatigue became part of the challenge itself.
Between breathtaking landscapes and unforgiving sections, competitors delivered an incredible performance throughout the weekend of May 9–10, 2026.
