The 2025 Dakar Rally final results are in and Red Bull KTM Factory Racing's Daniel Sanders led every day en route to his first Dakar Rally victory, KTM's 20th. The end comes after the Austrian manufacturer dominated the race, taking nine out of 13 stage wins.

Second in the rankings was Monster Energy Honda HRC Rally's Tosha Schareina followed by his teammate Adrien Van Beveren, putting two Honda machines in the top three.

Plenty to recap after a hectic two weeks of racing in Saudi Arabia on today's show. Settle down and tune in and we will see you back in the bivouac soon!

Monster Energy Honda HRC Rally Team's Tosha Schareina got his first Dakar Rally stage win today on a shortened Stage 11. Followed closely by Red Bull KTM Factory Racing's Luciano Benavides and his HRC teammate Adrien Van Beveren, Schareina kept the pressure on overall race leader Daniel Sanders and his KTM, closing the gap by seven minutes in only 152km.

The stage today was shortened by weather, delaying the start of the stage due to heavy fog keeping the helicopters grounded. Organizers proposed a full stage with a 3pm gate setup at refueling, but a racer majority protested that idea and they simply stopped the stage at that point instead of the top guys getting through the gate and continuing on, and those behind not having to finish the stage.

We chat with Brad Cox on the show today after his nasty crash earlier in the week. We also hear from at least one racer who's disspointed in the stage shortening.

Tomorrow is the final day of the rally - a welcome day for everyone on the course!

Enjoy the show!

2025 Dakar Rally Stage Ten Results and News Show is live!

Dakar Rally racers had a brutal commute to work today, over 500km of on-the-road liasion, as they made their way deep into Saudi Arabia's Empty Quarter, the extreme southeast quadrant of the desert country known for it's isolation and intense sand dune landscapes. With only 100km of racing on the day, not much time was up for grabs but that didn't stop Rally 2 competitor Michael Docherty from taking his first stage win.

Rui Congalves was second and Tobias Ebster was third.

Rally front-runners held back today, not willing to risk their overall placing during the short dune stage. More so, they were willing to slow down for an optimal starting position for the rally's penultimate stage tomorrow - a day of massive sand dunes and 300km of timed terrain.

Red Bull KTM Factory Racing's Daniel Sanders continues his strangle hold on the race at the top, finishing back today but still, somehow, putting time on his closest rivals Tosha Schareina and Adrien Van Beveren and their Monster Energy Honda HRC Rally machines. Everyone needs help moving up in this race at this point, and tomorrow is going to be, as American Ricky Brabec said yesterday, an all-out attack.

Two more days to go!
