For the 6th time in its history, Saudi Arabia will host the Dakar rally raid. Here is the list of motorcycle entries for the 2025 Dakar.
The best rally raid drivers from around the world will meet from January 3 to 17 to compete in the 2025 Dakar. After watching Ricky Brabec's coronation, meet once again in the Saudi desert for the 47th edition of this race. Last year's results allowed the American to win for the second time in its history.
Brabec will obviously be there during this Dakar 2025. Other favorites, however, also have their chance. Kevin Benavides (Argentina – Red Bull KTM Factory), winner in 2021, will be eagerly awaited. His brother Luciano, reigning world champion, will also have his chance during the long crossing of the Quart Vide.
Dakar 2025: the list of motorcycle competitors
On the French side, Xavier de Soultrait, regularly present in the Top 10 of the Dakar, should have the opportunity to shine as an independent driver. Adrien Van Beveren is also one of the leaders in the motorcycle category.
Despite several retirements in recent years due to injury or engine failure, the Honda HRC driver dreams of repeating his feat from last year (3rd place). Find the complete list of entrants in the motorcycle category on the official Dakar 2025 website.

Nostalgic for Klopp's Greens and Reds, I rely on winter sports to keep smiling. In search of thrills thanks to high mountain activities, I thrill in front of my TV through tennis, basketball, handball, football and combat sports.
