The classification for all categories from stage 12 of Dakar 2026 onwards will be as follows: Motorcycle travel has been changed to 1 day. Nani Roma can only pray

It is now expected that his participation in the 2026 Dakar will actually be decided. Only the final stage, just over 100km, remained before reaching the final goal of Yanbu. This means there will be no major changes to the classification at the end of Stage 12, the penultimate stage of the world’s toughest rally, except for some last-minute issues. That’s why this Friday was an important day.

And in that sense, ricky braveC used the strategy in stage 11. This Friday, he wanted to start behind Luciano Benavidez, and the move worked out. He managed to survive the relevant few seconds in the match against the Argentine player. Honda becomes the new leader in this category Compared to KTM, there is a difference of 3 minutes and 20 seconds. In that respect, Tosha Shalayna All that remains for him is to secure third place, which would secure him a second consecutive podium finish at the Dakar.

Despite having a good margin over Nani Roma, the Dacia rider did not want to guess and left everything to the decision with a margin of 15 minutes and became the stage winner. Only a catastrophe of historic proportions will prevent its final victory.

As for Carlos Sainz. It was a difficult day for the Spaniard, making a podium place virtually impossible. With a few kilometers remaining, Matador is in 5th place overall.
