Welcome back to the KLIM Dakar Rally Daily show presented by Baja Rally and Rally Navigator! We're racing into stage two today with some insight into a fast and grueling stage at the 2026 Dakar Rally. Red Bull KTM Factory Racing's Daniel Sanders took the stage win today just in front of his teammate and 2026's stand out RallyGP rookie Edgar Canet. The KTM Duo swapped positions at the front of the rally about 100km in to the stage and enjoyed a fast pace at the front. Sanders and Canet split the available bonus time and kept the pace high to secure the top two spots on the day. Sanders, with his 10th Dakar stage win today, jumped to the front of the overall rankings with Canet right behind him in second overall. 

American Ricky Brabec had a great day as well. The Monster Energy Honda HRC pilot went fastest on the stage from start to finish on race time, but ended up third again today after the opening bonuses for Sanders and Canet were tallied. Brabec sticks to his third spot overall, as well. The bivouac moved locations today making uploads from racers and our on-the-ground correspondents difficult, but we still managed to get you some great insight into the racers and how the stage went down.
