Sanders Takes Dominate Win in Dakar
The 47th edition of the world’s toughest off-road race wrapped up in Saudi Arabia on Friday with Australian Daniel ‘Chucky’ Sanders leading from the start to the finish of the 2025 Dakar Rally to claim his first bike title with a brilliant display across the gruelling, mixed terrain. Towering sand dunes, extreme temperatures and a racing distance of over 5,000 kilometres all lay in wait for the Dakar convoy and 30-year-old Sanders proved equal to it on his Red Bull KTM Factory Racing bike.

– KTM racked up their 20th bike victory and Sanders, who won five stages in total to match compatriot Toby Price’s 2016 achievement on two wheels, revealed: “Winning this race feels massive. When I came over the last dune and saw the bivouac I got instant chills through the whole body. All the emotions just started coming through.”
