• The Kove rider Mason Klein, a stage winner in Al-ʿUla during his stint with KTM, set a blistering pace on his way to this city from the dawn of time. The Spaniard Tosha Schareina eased off the throttle at the tail end of another barnstorming performance, giving the overall leader, Daniel Sanders, a clear run to his fourth stage win of the year.
• As it stands, the two fastest riders today are also perched at the top of the leader board after the three men opening the road made a collective blunder. The W2RC champion, Ross Branch, is now at 26 minutes, followed by Skyler Howes at 27 and the defending champion, Ricky Brabec, at 29.
• The two strongest drivers in the race or, at least, the most consistent also gained ground in the stage to Al-ʿUla. Yazeed Al Rajhi stormed to victory with 4′51″ to spare over his Toyota stablemate Henk Lategan. The South African leads the general standings with 6′54″ in hand over the Saudi. Mattias Ekström rounds out the provisional podium at 21′40″.
• Nasser Al Attiyah's luck in the 2025 Dakar finally ran out today. The Qatari avoided the catastrophic fate of Sainz and Loeb on previous days, but he still conceded 33 minutes, bringing his overall deficit to nearly 36 minutes. On the flip side, Mathieu Serradori made a leap forward and is now knocking on the door of the podium at 30′25″.
