Sidas at the heart of the Critérium du Dauphiné alongside XDS Astana Team
From June 8 to 15, the 2025 edition of the Critérium du Dauphiné took place : an unmissable event on the international cycling calendar.
Our teams had the pleasure of closely following our partner team, XDS ASTANA Team, during Stage 6 between Valshérone and Combloux, a demanding route with significant elevation gain through the French Alps.
This on-the-ground experience was an opportunity to strengthen our ties with the riders and staff, and to observe first-hand the specific needs related to performance and comfort in such challenging conditions.
A trusted partnership for nearly 10 years
For nearly a decade, Sidas has supported the Astana team in developing customized solutions for professional cyclists.
At the core of this partnership: biomechanical monitoring and the design of custom insoles, tailored to meet the extreme demands of elite cycling.
Each rider benefits from personalized support, based on a detailed analysis of their posture, stride, and foot pressure.
The goal: optimize power transfer, improve long-distance comfort, and reduce the risk of injury. In a sport where every detail matters, this level of customization can make a real difference.
This presence reflects Sidas’s commitment on the ground, close to the athletes. It also illustrates our drive to keep innovating alongside the best, with a focus on performance, precision, and a passion for sport.
