The 2025 Dakar Rally Stage 7 show is live and we have a banger of a show for you with huge special guests and exclusive interviews straight from the bivouac in Saudi Arabia. 

Red Bull KTM Factory Racing's Daniel Sanders took even more control of the 2025 Dakar Rally after Stage Seven today, winning the stage and extending his time advantage over his rivals. The Australian now sits more than 15 minutes ahead of Monster Energy Honda HRC's Tosha Schareina in second place and 26+ minutes over another Honda rider, Adrian Van Beveren in third. 

American defending Dakar champion Ricky Brabec dropped more than 10 minutes today after going out first on the stage.

Today we hear from absolute legends of the sport with a direct call to Heinz Kinigadner for a discussion on KTM, Rally, rookies and more. We also hear directly from Ross Branch and Toby Price as they leave the race after injuries to themselves or their teammates. 

Thanks for listening and let's get to it!
