The classification in all categories for Dakar 2026 after Stage 1 is as follows: Canet continues to lead with even more margin

edgar canet motorcycle and Guillaume de Möbius In cars, we won stage 1 of this Sunday’s Dakar Rally, making us the leaders in our respective categories. The 20-year-old Catalan felt it when stage winner Ross Branch of Botswana finished ahead of KTM Kane and defending champion Saunders and returned to his bivouac after being handed a six-minute penalty for speeding.

Kane thus extended his lead in the overall standings, going from a 3-inch lead over Saunders after the prologue to a 1 minute, 05-second lead over his teammate. And this Monday, the young driver from La Garriga will face his first test of Dakarian fire when he takes to the track in the second stage of the Yanbu-Arla 400km special.

In De Mevius’ case, it came as a surprise to him. That’s because he had problems with his beacon and was out of the standings from the second penalty kick, but he re-emerged at the end of the stage 40 inches ahead of Nasser Al Attiyah. Ford handed over the lead in the final section at 70km, but Ekström, the fastest driver, put his foot up and was overtaken by de Mevs. Athiyah and his teammate Prokop This stage 1 result establishes the first general classification for all modalities except for bikes with prologue results.
