chronicle

motorcycle: Dakar victory heightens tensions in bike world: Benavidez slams rivals over title, regains lead
car: Al Attiyah has only one rival left in Dakar: Nani Roma

Nani Roma pushes the Tuareg as the winner, but Nasser Al-Attiyah maintains a comfortable margin to win this rally
1st place Al Attiyah
2nd place Nani Roma 8 minutes 30 seconds
3rd place Sebastien Loeb 18’37”
4th place Matthias Ekström 21’32”
5th place Carlos Sainz 28’48”

CARS – Ekström’s victory!

The Swede won until the end of the stage, marking Ford’s fourth stage win of the Dakar. Ekström beats Carlos Sainz by 2 minutes 26 secondswho along with Dumas gave him the most wars.

CARS – Nani reaches the finish line and continues the fight

It won’t be easy for Nani Roma to win this Dakar. He managed to save more than four minutes and is eight and a half hours behind Nasser Al-Attiyah’s overall rating.. It’s not impossible, but things will need to change significantly.

CARS – Sainz cuts but lacks margin

The Matador passed the final checkpoint 2 minutes and 38 seconds behind the Swede. You’ll save a few seconds, but there’s no more distance to save that time.

CARS – Al Attiyah is already at the finish line

Dasias has reached the goal line, and at this moment Al-Attiyah has lost four and a half minutes to Loeb. It remains to be seen whether Nani Roma will arrive. The late gun has been down for over an hour. So you don’t have to rely on Toyota anymore.

CARS – Sainz won’t give up

Carlos Sainz regains a few seconds of time difference over Ekström. Remained the leader for 2 minutes 41 seconds Advantage over Spaniard at penultimate waypoint

This is how to change wheels in Dakar

CARS – Al Attiyah due to bleeding

Qatar could prevent Nani Roma from being cut. The team from Dacia remains within 4 minutes of Nani Roma.

CARS – Sainz’s situation is getting worse and worse

The Spaniard is currently struggling with Ekström’s pace and stage wins are slipping away from him. The difference between the two Fords at the penultimate checkpoint is almost three minutes. Already excluded is Nani, located 8 minutes away

Challenger – Pau Navarro maintains differences

Yesterday, the Catalan lost more than half of the advantage he had at the top of the overall Challenger division, but today he is doing well against Seadan. Pau and Jan Rosa only conceded 6 seconds in the middle of the stage, maintaining an 18 minute margin

CARS – Ekström Direct

The Swede has distanced himself from Dumas and Carlos Sainz. This set up Ford’s triple and gave Ekström a two-and-a-half minute lead over the Spaniard.

CARS – Nani Roma won’t give up

The Spaniard will pass 207km with a lead of three and a half minutes over Al Attiyah. He is increasingly encumbering the land.

Motorcycle – Sanders reaches the finish line

The Australian athlete is now at the finish line despite suffering physically throughout the stage. He finished more than 10 minutes behind today’s stage winner Howes. Winning isn’t an option for him, it’s pure pride.

CARS – Nani Roma squeezes Nasser!

Ford’s Catalans have already beaten Nasser by more than three minutes, taking advantage of the fact that Dacia’s team is currently struggling. In a hypothetical general classification, there is currently only a nine-minute difference between the two. Qatar is still not completely settled.

CARS – Nasser is even worse off.

Dacia’s Qatar is 3 minutes away from Robe. He gave up even more time in the final stretch. Let’s see what Nani Roma, the only one who can take the Touareg right now, can cut out.

CARS – Sainz is at a disadvantage compared to Ekström

It was the worst final stage for Carlos, who was already two and a half minutes behind teammate Ekström. He continues to cut back on Nasser, but more needs to be done.
As for him, the issue of Lategan, who has not yet passed the checkpoint, has been confirmed. Therefore, almost all statements are in favor of Qatar.

Motorcycle – Edgar Canet finishes 3rd place

The Catalan arrived 1 minute 15 seconds ahead of Howes’ time, sealing his first stage win of the year.

Motorcycles – What are the general classifications?

Now, with Brabec’s final dip in pace leading to a change of leaders and two days left until the end of the 2026 Dakar, the classification could not get any tighter.
1st place Luciano Benavidez
2nd place Ricky Brabec, 23 inches
3rd place Tosha Shalayna 15’16”
4th place Skyler Howes 34’20”

Motorcycle – Shalayna reaches the finish line and practically says goodbye

The Valencian has already reached the goal line and is losing 4 minutes 6 seconds. Although he is 15 minutes behind the top two in the overall standings, he still holds the position of 3rd place. Barring a miracle, that third place will be the final result.

CARS – Ekström Direct

The Swede put Sainz in the middle at the third checkpoint and was 1 minute 14 seconds ahead of Sainz at the top of the timetable.

Motorcycle – Shalayna loses even more

The Honda rider lost 3’24” to Howes at the final checkpoint before reaching the finish line. You have to get to the end to see what the final indentation is.

Motorcycles – The surprise is in motorcycles!

Everything seemed to indicate that Brabec was the most likely favorite to win, and that there was going to be some distance between them. but, He reached the finish line with Benavidez beating him by 1 minute 19 seconds. In other words, we have a new leader! Luciano outperforms Honda in overall evaluation

Motorcycles – Van Beveren is already at the finish line

The Frenchman from Honda earned almost five and a half minutes of bonus time after opening the track for the entire stage. However, he was 21 seconds behind Skyler Howes and looked certain to win the stage until Brabec arrived.

CARS – A small problem for Al Attiyah

The Dacia-born Qatari deviated slightly from his ideal path, spending just over a minute of stoppage time with Loeb. It remains to be seen how the remaining contenders will arrive and how much time they actually have left.

CARS – Nani Roma begins fighting for the stage

Sainz and Ekström still have to reach the third checkpoint, but Nani is the fastest with just two points ahead of Botterill and Oriol Mena.

Motorcycles – Canet hasn’t said the last word

The KTM rider finished third on the stage, two minutes behind Howes’ time. If you start further back and can follow your rival’s line, you may be able to turn things around at the final two checkpoints.

Motorcycle – Brabec hits Shalayna and Benavidez

The Honda driver has already earned a bonus minute on track open, plus over a minute on Tosha and another two minutes on Benavidez. Therefore, the rally will be doomed.

CARS – Lategan loses momentum

The Toyota driver surrendered the lead upon reaching the third checkpoint. He currently leads Nasser by just half a minute. Something is missing to fight for final victory.

CARS – Ekström and Sainz continue to push

The Ford duo reached the second checkpoint and the Swede was in the lead with a 37 second lead over the Madrid native. Lategan was third with a time of 51 seconds. Nani Roma is 1 minute behind his teammate

CARS – Lategan is already 1 minute behind Al Attiyah

The South African is doing everything he can to extend this Dakar until the last moment. At the third checkpoint he had a lead of more than a minute over Nasser Al-Attiyah, more specifically 1 minute and 12 seconds, but he seemed to be controlling the tempo with the help of Loeb and Morales. three dacias come together

CARS – Sainz and Ekström start attacking

The two Fords started well back and were the fastest drivers of the day at the first checkpoint. They have little choice but to take the Touareg and now they just have to give it their all. The Swede currently has a 29 second lead over the leading Spaniard.

Motorcycle – Shalayna recovers with Brabec

Brabec is already set to open the track alongside Van Beveren, which will hurt him compared to Chalayna who continues to push from behind. There was less than a minute difference between the two Honda drivers. The stage winner will be Howes.

CARS – Nani Roma also shortens seconds

The Catalan in a Ford passed the first checkpoint and beat Nasser Al Attiyah by 24 seconds. Meanwhile, Henk Lategan continued to shorten the Dacia’s lead, with the gap between the two now standing at 46 seconds.

It remains to be seen what will happen to Sainz, who has not yet reached the first checkpoint as he started 18th.

Sanders won’t give up

Motorcycles – Sanders does everything he can

The rider who was the motorcycle leader in this Dakar is currently running seven minutes behind his best time. The problem is that he could be racing with a broken bone from yesterday’s fall. Pilots do not need to take X-rays to compete.

CARS – Lategan, aiming to be a hero

The Toyota driver will need to reduce the 12-minute advantage held by leader Nasser Al-Attiyah. It’s almost impossible, but at the moment I’ve already recovered 37 seconds at the first checkpoint. Just press without thinking about strategy or anything.

Motorcycle – Shalayna restores time

Honda’s Valencian managed to stop himself losing a few seconds compared to Ricky Brabec. Tosha now concedes just one minute to her American teammate.

Motorcycle – Canet loses momentum

The KTM Catalan was a few seconds behind Howes, who was competing for the stage, but lost more than two minutes of time at the 190km mark. something must have happened to him

CARS – They’re all starting to leave

Cars will start later today and some are already on the route. Sainz is still too far away, so not yet. The first to arrive at the first checkpoint is Serradri, who won the second half of yesterday’s marathon and opened the course

Motorcycles – Stay out of trouble

KTM’s Argentine again lost a few seconds to Brabec, meaning he now has a lead of over three minutes in the overall standings. KTM, which seemed untouchable just a few days ago, is becoming very difficult to win.

Motorcycle – Shalayna is not coming back

A great day on the bike Van Beveren. The Frenchman on the Honda has opened the track and if the bonus is applied now he will end up winning the stage. At the moment it is Howes leads the timetable by 12 seconds over Edgar Cannet.

but, Tosha Chalayna will not be able to return to action against Brabecthe new leader of the Dakar after Saunders’ fall yesterday. The American was in third place today, more than a minute ahead of Tosha and almost two minutes ahead of Luciano Benavidez. If I finish like this, more than half of the Dakar will be in my pocket.

good morning!

how are you? Here’s a minute-by-minute look at everything that will happen on the penultimate stage of Dakar 2026. After completing the marathon stage, another complex day begins with lots of navigation. Today, Larry is virtually doomed. On the stage, 346km of special routes and 536km of very long links

VERSTAPPEN: Red Bull’s advantage? “I will not explain this”

Max Verstappen has said he does not pay much attention to rumors that some teams may have possible technical advantages in their new Formula 1 power units.

It has recently been claimed that Mercedes and Red Bull have found a way to further increase engine power, while other teams are trying to eliminate this possible advantage. The FIA ​​will meet with power unit manufacturers on January 22 to discuss the issue before the season starts.

Rumor has it that such optimization could produce around 15 hp, which is a significant figure at the beginning of a new era in technical regulations.

When asked whether Red Bull had an advantage in the pre-season, Verstappen replied:

“It’s impossible to know. Everyone is trying to do the best they can and I, especially me, have to focus on driving the car. I’m not here to be an engine engineer and explain all the details. Ultimately, this is a matter between the FIA ​​and the engine manufacturers. I drive the car and I believe we always do everything we can to get the best out of the engine.”

“We will be left behind.” Verstappen won’t like Red Bull’s situation

Red Bull Formula 1 team president Laurent Mekies believes the Bulls will be behind their rivals at the start of the 2026 season, given the production of their engines and new aerodynamic rules.

“We know it will be difficult for us, especially at the beginning of the season. I think we will fall behind our rivals, but we need to hold on for a few more months.”

“I hope we come back to the top, but it would be naive to think that Red Bull will be ahead right away. We will be behind at the start,” said Mekis.

Bulls will produce its engines in collaboration with Ford from 2026.

Red Bull finally decides on Verstappen’s team

After several significant personnel changes in the team, Max Verstappen has finally learned who he will be working with in the Red Bull pits for the new season.

At the end of last year, it became known that three key members of the four-time world champion’s headquarters had left. According to De Telegraaf, Jeff Ayton replaced Verstappen’s vehicle control engineer Michael Manning, who left the team after the 2025 season. He has previously worked with other Red Bull drivers and worked temporarily with Verstappen in Manning’s absence last year.

Verstappen’s former engine mechanic David Mart has moved to Audi and his replacement at Red Bull has not yet been determined. Performance engineer Tom Hart is also leaving the team; He will join Williams but will continue to work with the Milton Keynes-based team for a while.

Changes also occurred among mechanics. After Matt Culler moved to the position of Audi’s chief mechanic, Verstappen was replaced as his first mechanic by his twin brother John Culler. He is well known to Max, who has previously held a similar position on the other side of the Red Bull pits, working alongside Sergio Perez, Liam Lawson and Yuki Tsunoda.

Despite rumors about the winter break, Gianpiero Lambiase will remain Verstappen’s race engineer for another season.
