After the motorcycle prologue, Daniel Sanders (KTM) wins the first stage of the Dakar 2025

Skyler Howes, the Honda driver, should get closer to this podium by recovering the ten minutes lost during the day. The American, who arrived with 14’49 on Sanders, stopped to take care of Sébastian Bühler, injured in a fall. The special proved difficult for the competitors who crossed the finish line with torn parts of their overalls.
