2026 Dakar Rally Reports

Dakar 2026 Wrap with KTM Factory Racing

Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Luciano Benavides has conquered the 2026 Dakar Rally in the most dramatic fashion imaginable, sealing overall victory by just two seconds after a never-give-up fight across Saudi Arabia.

Refusing to surrender despite setbacks, pressure, and one of the closest battles in Dakar history, the Argentine delivered when it mattered most, attacking right to the final kilometre on his KTM 450 RALLY to claim his first Dakar Rally victory.

Daniel Sanders and Edgar Canet both reached the finish of the world’s toughest rally-raid in fifth and 32nd positions respectively, completing an extraordinary Dakar campaign defined by resilience, belief, and relentless determination from the Red Bull KTM team.

Benavides delivered a standout performance throughout the event, combining outright speed, consistency, and intelligent race management to fight for the overall victory right to the very end of the rally.

The Argentine claimed three stage wins, including a decisive victory during the event’s first marathon stage, and consistently ran at the front as the terrain became increasingly demanding.

By refusing to give up and attacking until the last day, Luciano sealed an extraordinary Dakar Rally victory, the greatest achievement of his career to date, and underlined his status as one of the leading forces in rally-raid competition.

Benavides’ win – the closest in the history of the event – marks KTM’s 21st Dakar Rally title and continues a remarkable family legacy, following Dakar triumphs by his brother Kevin in 2021 and 2023.

“I still can’t believe it. I never stopped dreaming. I woke up today full of energy and motivation, just thinking about what I could do and trusting in myself, and that was the key for this Dakar. I did this for myself, and this feeling is unreal. To win by just two seconds is unbelievable. I even missed the last two corners and nearly crashed, so it was right on the limit, but it paid off. I honestly can’t describe this moment.

“This is my ninth Dakar, and it shows that if you never stop dreaming, never stop believing, and keep fighting for your goals, anything is possible. I never gave up. Even today, when I was losing time and I saw Ricky pushing hard, I kept telling myself it wasn’t over until the last kilometre. In the end, he made a small mistake and I got it right. It’s just unreal. Vamos Argentina! Now it’s time to celebrate with my family, my friends, my sponsors, and everyone who has supported me through all these years to achieve this dream.”

Daniel Sanders’ Dakar was defined by determination and resilience. After showing front-running pace in the opening half of the rally and spending multiple days at the head of the overall standings, the Australian suffered injuries during the second week that significantly impacted his ability to push at full speed.

Despite the pain, Sanders dug deep to complete the remaining stages and reach the finish in an incredible fifth place overall, demonstrating the grit and toughness that took him to the 2025 Dakar and World Rally-Raid Championship titles in dominant fashion.

“I’m really happy for the team, and that’s just Dakar – it’s never over until it’s over. Every day is different and anything can happen. I only heard the news at the finish. I was in a lot of pain and honestly just ready to lie down, but that gave me the extra motivation to go and see Luciano and congratulate him. It’s so cool and really incredible for the whole team. Unfortunately, I was unlucky in my own race and out of the fight for the win, but the result is still in the team, and that’s something special. Huge congratulations to everyone who worked so hard again this year, consistency has really paid off.”

For Edgar Canet, the 2026 Dakar Rally represented a major milestone in his career. Competing in the RallyGP category for the first time, the Spaniard made an immediate impact by winning the prologue and stage one, becoming the youngest-ever stage winner in the bike category.

An issue with his rear mousse while pushing hard on stage five halted his charge in the overall standings, but Canet continued to demonstrate impressive speed and strong navigation throughout the remainder of the rally.

Gaining invaluable experience, Edgar completed his second Dakar and first at RallyGP level in emphatic fashion, finishing the event on a high with a commanding victory on the final stage.

“It’s been a really crazy race for me. These two weeks were full of emotions, so many ups and downs, but the most important thing is that we made it to the end. I won three stages, and Luciano taking the overall win is huge. I’m super, super happy for him. It’s been a crazy Dakar, and I couldn’t be happier for the whole team and the entire KTM family. We showed throughout the race which bike is the fastest in the desert, and that was a big objective for us. Now the motivation is even higher to keep working, keep fighting, and keep improving. I know exactly what my main goal is for next year, so I’m really motivated to keep pushing and keep training.”

Andreas Hölzl – Rally Team Manager

“We are incredibly proud of what Luciano, Edgar, Chucky, and the entire team have achieved – it’s honestly unbelievable. We fought right until the very last metre and never gave up, and that was the key. Dakar always writes its own stories, and this year was another perfect example of that. Luciano fought from day one until the finish; he’s a true fighter, and without doubt this has been the best race of his career. It’s an incredible achievement. Edgar once again showed just how strong he is in winning the final stage. I’m really happy we have him in the team, because I’m convinced he will win a Dakar one day. And Chucky, our real survivor, deserves massive respect. I’m extremely proud of these three riders and of the whole team.”

KTM’s success at the 2026 Dakar Rally extended well beyond the overall classification, with victories across multiple categories.

In Rally2, Toni Mulec delivered a commanding performance to secure class victory and claim a second Dakar win for BAS World KTM, underlining the competitiveness of the KTM 450 RALLY REPLICA at the highest level of customer racing.

The celebrations continued in the Malle Moto class, where Benjamin Melot claimed a long-awaited Dakar victory aboard his KTM, finally stepping onto the top of the podium after four previous top-three finishes.

Billy Bolt claims Spanish SuperEnduro victory

See the MCNews.com.au report/results here for Round Three here:
Billy Bolt maintains perfect SuperEnduro record with victory in Spain

The third round of the 2025/2026 FIM SuperEnduro World Championship marked another dominant performance by Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Billy Bolt, with the Brit claiming the top step of the podium in Bilbao, Spain, which was completed by Jonny Walker and Mitch Brightmore.

The 2025/2026 FIM SuperEnduro World Championship delivered an incredible night of racing at round three inside the Bizkaia Arena in Bilbao, Spain. Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Billy Bolt thrilled the stadium with an incredible display of riding to win all three Prestige races.

Germany’s Milan Schmüser (Beta) enjoyed a hat trick of victories in the Junior class, while 16-year-old Connor Watson (Sherco) recorded his debut overall win in the Youth Cup category.

Prestige – Superpole

With the top seven riders gathered for SuperPole, it was Bolt who took the fastest time for the third outing this season. The Husqvarna rider executed a perfect lap, becoming the only rider to dip inside the 34-second marker.

Triumph Factory Racing Enduro Team’s Jonny Walker proved the closest rider to Bolt, placing just 0.667 seconds behind Bolt in second.

Stark Future’s Eddie Karlsson edged out Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Josep Garcia for third, while Raposeira Bubbles Racing Team’s Diogo Vieira completed the top five.

Prestige Final  1

With a short start straight for round three in Bilbao, riders were focused on a fast reaction out of the gate as they lined up for Final 1.

Timing it to perfection, Walker claimed the opening Diverse Extreme Team holeshot of the night. But with Bolt on his wheel tracks, there was no time to relax.

For the first three minutes, the duo battled it out as Walker fended off every attack from the five-time world champion.

However, a crash by Walker as they began lap five gifted Bolt the race lead, and ultimately the race win by 17 seconds. Walker remounted to secure second, but was disappointed by what could have been.

Karlsson enjoyed a comfortable ride for third, while X-Grip Racing’s Mitch Brightmore placed fourth. Taking a season-best result, Beta AG Racing’s Alfredo Gomez completed the top five.

Prestige Final 2

For Prestige Final 2 it was Brightmore who grabbed the all-important Diverse Extreme Team holeshot. The young Brit, who dislocated his shoulder during the morning training, used the clear track to his advantage to control an early race lead.

Riding strongly, he led for the first three laps, before Walker and Bolt pushed their way through. Walker held off Bolt for a further three laps before Bolt found away past the Triumph rider with about five laps to go.

Bolt rode clear for his second victory of the night, with Walker second. A heroic ride saw Brightmore claim third, with RIEJU Factory Racing’s Dominik Olszowy fourth. A three-way battle for fifth on the final lap resulted in Garcia completing the top five.

Prestige Final 3

Making it two Diverse Extreme Team holeshots in Spain, Walker was fastest out of the starting gate for Final 3.

Once again, he had Bolt on his wheel tracks as the duo quickly separated themselves from the rest of the pack. Walker was determined to keep his rival at bay, and for five laps maintained the race lead despite numerous attacks by Bolt.

But with five laps to go, a mistake by Walker in the rock garden was enough to let Bolt through, claiming his third victory of the night over Walker in second. Another incredible ride by Brightmore saw him finish third, with Karlsson and Vieira rounding out the top five ahead of Toby Martyn (Stark Future) in sixth.

Prestige Overall

Three wins, along with claiming the SuperPole, resulted in Bolt earning his third consecutive overall victory of the season. Walker, enjoying his best performance of the season, placed as runner-up.

Billy Bolt (Husqvarna)

“It’s been another good night for me. The track was difficult to master, but my speed and timing were good out there. My main focus was to stay calm and work through any problems. Thankfully, everything was working as it should be and I was able to come away on top. Many thanks to the support here in Bilbao.”

Jonny Walker (Triumph)

“The speed was not quite there tonight to beat Billy, so I knew I needed to get good starts and defend my place as best I could. I feel like I had a good fire in me tonight.”

In what proved to be the ride of the night, Brightmore nursed a dislocated shoulder for third. Karlsson scored strongly for fourth overall, while Garcia edged out Gomez on a tiebreaker to complete the top five.

Mitch Brightmore (GASGAS)

“I was running on adrenaline tonight with the shoulder injury. In a positive way it forced me to slow down and ride without pressure. That paid off with a podium result.”

Junior

As winner of the Junior class in Poland and Germany, Germany’s Milan Schmüser (Beta) arrived in Spain as the rider to beat. In Final 1, Schmüser initially took the race lead and looked to have things his own way. However, multiple mistakes allowed Spain’s Alex Puey (KTM) through.

The Spaniard was determined to put on a show for his home fans and controlled the race lead. Finally, with one lap to go, Schmüser found his way back in front and took the win. Puey crossed the finish line in second, with Britain’s Toby Shaw (GASGAS) third.

In Final 2, it was Burts Crayston (KTM) who led the first three laps before Schmüser took control of the race lead and rode clear for a six-second margin of victory. Executing one of his best rides of the season, Spain’s Manuel Gomez (Stark Future) claimed second, while Shaw passed Crayston on the final lap for third.

Disaster struck Schmüser in Final 3, with the German crashing at the start. Remounting last, he set about working his way to the front. Puey led the way, with Shaw challenging him for the race lead, eventually taking it at the midway point of the race. Unfortunately, with one lap to go, Shaw crashed out of the race lead.

Now up to second, Schmüser took full advantage and raced on to take the win. Puey overtook Shaw to finish second, with Shaw ending Final 3 in third. As a result, the final event classification saw Schmüser claim the overall victory from Shaw, with Puey placing one point behind in third. Gomez ended his night in fourth, with Germany’s Henry Strauss (KTM) edging out Crayston for fifth.

Milan Schmüser (Beta)

“The racing was hard tonight, but to get three wins here in Bilbao is very special. I made it tough for myself in the last race, but somehow recovered for the victory.”

Youth

Bilbao was a night to remember for Britain’s Connor Watson (Sherco), with the young 16-year-old claiming his debut overall victory in the Youth Cup class. In the opening Final, it was championship leader Wojtek Walczak (KTM) who put himself into an early lead, with Watson in second, while Luca Kropitsch (KTM) – winner of round two – crashed early on.

Out front, Walczak continued to clock in clean laps. Extending his advantage to a very comfortable 34 seconds, he secured the opening victory of the night over Watson in second, with Spain’s Eneko Martinez (Beta) third.

For the second and final Youth Cup race of the night, it was Watson who battled his way into the race lead on lap one. Walczak worked his way into second and gave chase after Watson.

But mistakes were quick to follow the young Polish rider. Slipping back to third, behind Watson and Martinez, resulted in Watson clinching the overall Youth Cup victory in Spain.

A 1-3 scorecard earned Walczak the runner-up result, with Martinez taking third to secure his first podium result of the season on home soil. Making his first appearance in the championship, having just turned 14 years old leading into round three, Germany’s Max Eppelmann (KTM) ended his night fourth overall. Ireland’s Alex Andrews (KTM) enjoyed another strong ride in his debut SuperEnduro season to complete the top five in fifth.

Connor Watson (Sherco)

“I feel like I needed this result to put myself back into the championship fight. Initially I didn’t think the track suited me, but it all worked out. To get my first overall victory feels amazing. I’m so happy!”

The FIM SuperEnduro World Championship continues with round four in Budapest, Hungary, on January 31.
