DRAMA GALLORE!

A 14-day rally, and still the difference between the 1st and 2nd places happens to be just 2 seconds.

In one of the most shocking moments in world motorsports, Luciano Benavides edged out Ricky Brabec by just 2 seconds, which is the narrowest margin in the history of the rally. The courtesy goes to a navigation error 7 km from the finish line. Luciano from Red Bull KTM Factory Racing clinched the first position with a time of 49h 00’ 41”, and right on the tail was Ricky Brabec from team Monster Energy Honda HRC.
