ABSOLUTE HEARTBREAK
Ricky Brabec came into the
final stage of Dakar 2026 with
a lead of nearly three and a half
minutes over Luciano Benavides,
but a crucial navigation error
within sight of the finish ensured
Benavides would take the most
dramatic of wins. Here, the
enormity of his error begins to
sink in for the Californian, Brabec.
