Luciano Benavides edged out Ricky Brabec by 2 seconds, the narrowest margin in the history of the rally, in the latest twist ever seen in the Dakar, a navigation error 7 km from the line. Red Bull KTM Factory Racing exploded in jubilation, while the American Monster Energy Honda HRC rider, who missed out on a three-peat, swallowed his bitter defeat with dignity. The Argentinian picked up the first rally of his career, joining his brother Kevin (a winner in 2021 and 2023) in the annals of the race.
