Bruno Crivilin sweeps 2026 Brazilian Rally Raid Championship’s motorcycle class crowns

Big news coming out of Brazil as Monster Energy/Honda HRC Rally’s Bruno Crivilin, racing this past weekend for Honda Racing Brasil, has cliched both the Overall Motorcycle Title (General Moto) and Moto 1 Class Championship at the 53rd running of the Brazilian Rally Raid Championship, aka the Campeonato Brasileiro de Rally Raid.

Crivilin, a native of Brazil, was dominant throughout the six-stage Campeonato Brasileiro de Rally Raid, which crisscrossed the country through the Rio Grande do Norte Rally RN1500 opening stage in April, which Crivilin won (along with three other rounds), through this past weekend’s final stage victory at the Sertões.

"I am very happy to win the Brazilian Rally Raid Championship,” said Crivilin. “Brazil is a huge country with very important events, such as the Rally dos Sertões, which is one of the most famous in the world and has already been a World Championship round. 

Crivilin’s National Championship Double was certainly highlighted by his overall win at this past week’s 8-stage, 4,000 km Rally do Sertões – the 34th running of marquee closing event for the ’26 Campeonato Brasileiro de Rally Raid campaign. 
 

“The team worked exceptionally well throughout the season, so this result is the outcome of a joint effort. I am also very glad to compete here in Brazil with Honda Racing Brasil while representing Monster Energy Honda HRC on the world stage,´ added Crivilin of the international Monster Energy/Honda HRC Rally/Honda Racing Brasil partnership that backed him. Riding the same bike in both championships makes things much easier and contributes to the overall development of our work.”

So with the national Brazilian rally title on the mantle, along with numerous accolades from his first full year with Monster Energy/Honda HRC Rally on the FIM Rally-Raid World Championship series tour, Crivilin is setting his sights on the world’s foremost motorcycle rally competition.
 

“Now, the focus is 100% on the Dakar,” he said. “This year was very important because I was able to compete exclusively in rally raid. It was the first year I raced the Brazilian Championship fully focused on the discipline, and winning both the Overall and Moto 1 titles, as well as four of the five rounds on the calendar, means a lot to me. Now it's time to keep working, aiming for the Dakar, and giving my best to represent Brazil and Honda in this next big challenge."
