We're off to the races with the first racing stage of the 2024 Dakar Rally with the Prologue Results Show. 

A fast 30km timed special stage today sets the stage for the rest of the rally as the top competitors jockey for positions that will see them starting out tomorrow's day 1 special stage, and the true start of the race.

We hear from the top three finishers in the bike categories, check in on Challenger and SSV rookies making waves and try to predict what will happen (incorrectly) tomorrow.
