This is the breakdown of all categories for Dakar 2026 after stage 10. Carlos Sainz was knocked out. Sanders’ downfall brings sudden changes to the motorcycle industry

It was a decisive day and the second half of this second Dakar marathon did not disappoint anyone at all. It was a very tough day for everyone, with different routes for cars and bikes, and a number of navigational errors that could decide the future of the world’s toughest rally.

Motorcycles are a category that struggled before and after the war. Autumn, the big favorite daniel sanders. The Australian started well, but suffered a terrible accident that left him physically damaged and out of the lead with no option on the KTM. The new leader is Ricky Brabec and Shalayna rush option in about 16 minutes Rounding out the podium.

For the cars, even if the first half of the marathon was a good day for the Ford team and the Spaniards, the second half was a really tough day. Carlos Sainz was left with virtually no options. We had a problem with navigation and lost 24 minutes. The final blow was a 15-minute penalty on arrival, leaving nearly 40 minutes with three stages remaining.

Nani Roma goes from rally leader to third place finish Approximately 13 minutes from general classification Al Attiyah He took this opportunity to use his starting position to sweep the field. However, the best of the day was Mathieu Serradri.
