Daniel Sanders (KTM) is still leading the 2025 Dakar Rally, but that sound he’s hearing right behind him is coming out of the pipe from a Honda 450 Rally – specifically that of Monster Energy/Honda HRC Rally’s Tosha Schareina.

Rolling into Sunday’s Stage 7 of the Dakar Rally, Round 1 of the 2025 FIM World Rally-Raid Championship, with momentum from back-to-back stage wins, Monster Energy/Honda HRC Rally team members looked to chip away at lead rider Daniel Sanders’ (KTM) overall time on the Al Duwadimi to Al Duwadimi loop. But Sanders held strong, winning the stage and extending his lead over Monster Energy/Honda HRC Rally’s 2nd place Tosha Schareina to 15 minutes and 33 seconds.

Monster Energy/Honda HRC Rally’s Ricky Brabec, the defending Dakar Rally champion, won his first stage of the 2025 Dakar Rally, Round 1 of the FIM World Rally-Raid Championship, as the topped the field in Saturday’s Stage 6 run from Hail to Al Duwadimi, Saudi Arabia. And joining Brabec on the all-Monster Energy Stage 6 podium were his Honda teammate, Adrien Van Beveren, in 2nd place and Jose “Nacho” Cornejo (Hero Motosports, fueled by Monster Energy) in 3rd.
