The Longines Global Champions Tour heads to Rabat, Morocco, from 30 October to 1 November for the final leg of its 2026 regular season. Newly crowned champion Abdel Saïd leads a strong international field, including Christian Ahlmann, Max Kühner, Gilles Thomas and home favourite Abdelkebir Ouaddar.
With the 2026 LGCT championship title already secured by Belgium's Abdel Saïd, attention now turns to Sunday's five-star Grand Prix. Riders will compete for the final Grand Prix victory of the regular season and a qualification spot for the LGCT Super Grand Prix in Verona.
Strong International Line-Up
Among the leading contenders are Germany's Christian Ahlmann, Marcus Ehning, Philipp Weishaupt and Sophie Hinners, alongside Austria's Max Kühner and France's Simon Delestre.
Belgium will be well represented, with Gilles Thomas, Jérôme Guéry, Pieter Devos, Gudrun Patteet, Victor Bettendorf, Nathan Budd and Zoé Hank Conter joining Abdel Saïd.
The Dutch contingent includes Maikel van der Vleuten, Jur Vrieling and Pim Mulder, while Ireland will be represented by Denis Lynch, Michael Pender, Harry Allen and Ciaran Nallon.
Other notable entries include Brazil's Yuri Mansur and Marlon Zanotelli, Italy's Emanuele Gaudiano and Greece's Ioli Mytilineou.
Moroccan Riders Compete on Home Soil
Abdelkebir Ouaddar leads the Moroccan contingent, joined by Majid Djaidi, Abdelslam Bennani Smires, Ali Al Ahrach and El Ghali Boukaa.
The home riders will compete against an international field during three days of CSI5* competition in the Moroccan capital.
Final Grand Prix Before Verona
Although the individual LGCT championship has already been decided, Sunday's Grand Prix remains an important opportunity for riders to secure qualification for the LGCT Super Grand Prix.
The qualified Grand Prix winners will meet again at the GC Playoffs in Verona from 19 to 22 November, bringing the 2026 season to its conclusion.
