In 7h57’29”, Adrien Van Beveren mastered this stage from start to finish. For this longest event, the 2024 edition of the Dakar, the Honda driver won and moved up to fourth in the general classification.
He is ahead of riders Toby Price (KTM) and Ricky Brabec (Honda) who complete the podium of this two-day stage in the desert. Thanks to this third place, Brabec is therefore at the top of the general classification with 9’21” ahead of Van Beveren.
The pilots will head to Riyadh to enjoy a well-deserved day of rest. They will then begin the second week of racing with a final arrival in Yanbu on January 19.
