Dakar Classic Highlights - #Dakar2023 ]]> Mon, 23 Jan 2023 16:56:55 EST https://dev.ballertube.com/video/1766/dakar-classic-highlights-dakar2023/ https://dev.ballertube.com/video/1763/ssv-t4-highlights-presented-by-aramco-dakar2023/
SSV: The boss baby Following Austin Jones's promotion to T3, logic dictated that the title would come down to a clash between the Goczał brothers, Marek and Michał, who had hoovered up eight stage wins between them last year; the W2RC champion in the SSV category, Rokas Baciuška; or even the 2022 runner-up, the experienced Gerard Farrés. But the real threat came from left field, namely from a rookie by the name of Eryk Goczał —Marek's son. ]]> Sat, 21 Jan 2023 16:55:36 EST https://dev.ballertube.com/video/1763/ssv-t4-highlights-presented-by-aramco-dakar2023/ https://dev.ballertube.com/video/1765/lwv-t3-presented-by-aramco-dakar2023/
Lightweight prototypes: Jones scores a double whammy When "Chaleco" López, the defending champion of the T3 category, got the ball rolling for the 45th Dakar on the Sea Camp, everyone expected a rematch between the Chilean and Seth Quintero, the driver who had won virtually every stage of the previous edition. But one prologue does not a Dakar winner make. Cristina Gutiérrez took the opener ahead of Quintero, with no reason to suspect that Austin Jones's twelfth place was his first step towards victory in Dammam. Yet that is exactly what happened. Gutiérrez, López and Quintero played a game of musical chairs at the top of the general standings until disaster struck each of them in turn, with snafus such as getting stuck in a flooded river in stage 3 or losing a wheel along the way. Mitch Guthrie was also hit by a mechanical in stage 5, leaving Guillaume de Mevius in the lead with Jones hot on his heels. The Belgian thought it was his for a long time, at least until km 41 of stage 11, when a mechanical in the desert cost him and his co-driver François Cazalet more than an hour and a half. From then on, the race was Jones's to lose. It was all over but the shouting. A series of victories by Guthrie, Quintero and even the new Yamaha prototypes driven by João Ferreira and Ricardo Porem failed to rattle the ever-consistent Jones, who only finished five times outside the top 5. The American, who had already won the SSV race last year, grabbed the T3 title on his first attempt. ]]> Fri, 20 Jan 2023 16:56:16 EST https://dev.ballertube.com/video/1765/lwv-t3-presented-by-aramco-dakar2023/ https://dev.ballertube.com/video/1755/trucks-highlights-presented-by-aramco-dakar2023/
Trucks: Van Kasteren blasts into the history books Janus van Kasteren ended six years of undisputed Russian hegemony to add his name in the annals and bring Iveco's total to three Dakar victories. ]]> Thu, 19 Jan 2023 16:52:03 EST https://dev.ballertube.com/video/1755/trucks-highlights-presented-by-aramco-dakar2023/ https://dev.ballertube.com/video/1759/bike-highlights-presented-by-aramco-dakar2023/
The scenario that unfolded in the motorbike race was even crazier. In a first for the category, Kevin Benavides seized the lead on the very last day, knocking Toby Price from the top of the general standings to prevail by 43 seconds, the narrowest winning margin ever in the Dakar.

The 45th edition of the Dakar has come to an end in Dammam after 14 stages that saw dramatic turnarounds in every category. Nasser Al Attiyah's victorious campaign did not come as a surprise, but his first successful title defence earned him the fifth triumph of his career and the distinction of winning by the widest margin seen in the car race in 20 years. Second at 1 h 20, Sébastien Loeb bent the knee to the Qatari, but he also added his name to the Dakar record books with a string of six consecutive stage wins (seven in total). Similarly, in the SSVs T4, the youngest Dakar entrant ever benefited from a massive plot twist in the last stage, as the leader, Rokas Baciuška, surrendered the top spot to the 18-year-old Pole Eryk Goczał, who will share the podium with his father, Marek, in third place. A family that races together stays together. In T3, victory went to Austin Jones, who had already brought the T4 trophy home last year.
