KLIM Dakar Rally Daily 2026 Dakar Rally Stage 13 Final Results

Red Bull KTM Factory Racing's Luciano Benevides did the nearly impossible and won the 2026 Dakar Rally from behind on the final day to take the victory by two seconds over Monster Energy Honda HRC Rally's Ricky Brabec. Over 100km of final stage racing, Benevides didn't let up, taking advantage of a small navigation mistake in tricky terrain by Brabec to secure his first Dakar Victory, and the 21st for KTM by the slimmest margin ever seen. Brabec, for the most part, rode the most flawless rally of the year, avoiding major navigation or terrain mistakes over two weeks and almost 8,000km of racing. But in the final 3km of today's final, Brabec made a wrong turn and it cost him the most valuable seconds of the race. This is a stunning victory for Benevides and KTM - a historic one - proving that even when it's almost impossible to win, believing you can is the only way to victory.
