00:35and only maybe you can win the Dakar
00:42born in Paris in 1979 over four decades the Dakar has crossed continents and
00:48eras to forge its reputation as the most formidable test in motorsport demanding
00:53endurance navigation and survival at the highest level
00:57this is where legends are made there is no shortcut only the deserts only the
01:02Dakar and from the banks of the Red Sea the greatest off-road race on earth has
01:06become so happy new year happy new Dakar and

01:47ready for for everything very excited to uh get on the bike and start riding
01:53opening the way for everyone on this sunny saudi morning chilean thomas de gabardo
01:58who came in a creditable 25th of a field of 115 entrants in the bikes category
02:03the last two two-wheel winners of the Dakar filled the bottom two steps of the prologue podium in
02:09third double champion ricky brayback the american has lucky number nine as usual both his overall
02:16victories came with that plate
02:20terrain through the canyons was was cool um you know a little bit soft on the top layer of uh of
02:26dirt so made it really fun you know good traction two seconds quicker than brayback was last year's
02:31runaway or ride away winner daniel sanders in his sixth dakar the australian's title defense has
02:37started well as he bids to become the first rider since 2015 to go back to back not too much navigation
02:43but super super fast not too much technical stuff so it was uh look up and don't back off and go as
02:49fast as you can that leaves us with the story of the day and a dakar record breaker last year's
02:55breakthrough star and winner of rally 2 edgar canett today became the youngest ever winner of a dakar
03:01special on two wheels at 20 years nine months and 18 days the spaniard has taken that honor from mason
03:07klein new year new category new dakar and yeah after a lot of work win my first stage my first prologue
03:15in the overall it feels really good in bikes the times today do count which means our first
03:21classification is both the prologue result and the overall standings with familiar names luciano
03:25benavidez and ros branch making up the top five a good day for can it but niels derek wanted to can
03:31it the dakar can be a long lonely road to walk when things don't go your way
03:43more good news on the day for ktm they had the top two in rally gp and also the day's winner in rally
03:48two bass world ktm's michael doherty followed up two outright stage wins last year with a category
03:54victory right off the bat in 26. we are ready for this race
04:06we fight all the stages
04:21i need to stage start now
04:24in the cars every dakar winner since 2010 is here a who's who of a rally raid royalty former champions
04:30al-raji science alatia petter hansel roma are joined by both the next generation and those who
04:36have waited in the wings for their time in the limelight day one and putting his foot to the floor
04:42on four wheels to the four came matthias ekstrom one of four forwards forging a path through the
04:48saudi desert foreboding for the other teams with ekstrom and mitch guthrie forcing their way forward for
04:53the first top two of the year rivals will hope this isn't a forecast for the next fortnight fortune
04:59favors the brave and forewarned is forearmed i had a very good prologue it was much more difficult than
05:06i expected from navigation and stones and for me this was a small stage and emil did a very good
05:12job and we had a clean stage so third overall last year this was a sixth win in six participations for
05:18the swede and emil berkvist guthrie meanwhile with kellen walsh was eight seconds slower
05:24are a little nervous for the prologue you want to keep it clean but you also have to go really fast so
05:28um overall i'm happy with where we are guillonne de mevius was runner-up at dakar 46 in a toyota
05:35now with x-rayed mini the belgian and co-driver matthieu baumel finished today just two tenths of
05:40a second slower than mitch see for the next days but i think we will have some big surprise on
05:44navigation it was really tricky today to find a way we have some arrow on the track today tomorrow we
05:49will have no arrow so it will be tricky i think the one thing you don't want to do on day one of the
05:55dakar is make a silly mistake getting stranded on a rock for example jernan garces and juan pablo
06:01latrat couldn't have done this if they'd been trying to but you can only imagine their frustration
06:07they did get going again after about 40 minutes and when he's not driving garces is the world's largest
06:13producer and exporter of wait for it cherries insert your own on the cake joke here
06:19as you'd expect they weren't the only crews in trouble today this is daniel schroeder
06:26and henry kuhn we do have the translation of schroeder screaming here and his reaction afterwards
06:40but the language is so bad your headphones would probably melt so we'll leave it to your imagination
06:44instead a good day for ford and the rest of the field better not be scared of dinosaurs because
06:49combine the velocity and this raptor and you get a velociraptor defender are at dakar 2026 making
06:57their debut as a factory team and they're here with sarah price rocker spaschuska and the granddaddy
07:02of dakar stephan peta hansel we'll have to have a different approach and a different strategy
07:10and it was a good start for the team who had a one two three in the class with sarah price coming
07:23out on top and it's not just peta hansel in a new machine this year kevin benavides twice winner of
07:28the bikes category isn't a challenger no no no no no no no no no no no no no no
07:39it wasn't a bad start for the argentine he and lichy cisterna making his first appearance
07:53was seventh on the prologue paul spierings won the final special of 25 and a year on picked up
07:58right where he left off the prologue it's good for our mindset also you know we make a lot of
08:04preparation before and if we can it paid off today it feels well just behind spearings another dutch
08:10driver puck classen in just her second appearance t4 nothing to do with vernon k and alexa chung
08:19rather it's the ssv's defending champions brock heger and max eddie won the prologue last year
08:24and did so again today and if it ain't covered in mud it ain't a real truck so they say
08:30well these beasts may look clean but i dare you to tell these boys they're not in trucks
08:34mitchell vandenbrink has raced ssvs most of 25 but he's back with the big boys here and took them all
08:39out today
08:46we've waited a whole year for dakar 48 and it's finally here so in the immortal words of simon from blue
08:52the good times my friends they're coming around again it's my privilege to be back with you my dakar
