Al-Attiyah revenge, Loeb for a first success… Our favorites for the Dakar 2025

Victim of the 48 hours aboard his Hunter last year, Al-Attiyah intends to return to victory on the Dakar, which he has already won five times (2011, 2015, 2019, 2022, 2023). Having become a triple world champion in October thanks to his victory at the Rallye du Maroc for his first with Dacia, the Qatari remains “the reference in the desert”by Sébastien Loeb’s own admission. Even his change of co-driver at the end of the Dakar did not make him waver: he won three of the four races contested with Édouard Boulanger, Mathieu Baumel’s replacement.
