Imagine driving to work in heavy traffic when the world suddenly freezes but you have to keep racing through the stationary obstacles at top speed, no rules, no second chances. That’s how newly crowned Dakar Rally bike champion Daniel Sanders describes the wild challenge of navigating the world’s toughest off-road race.

Luckily, he and Red Bull KTM Factory Racing teammate Luciano Benavides have the ultimate machine for the job - the KTM 450 Rally. Luciano calls it super strong and powerful, while Daniel likens its aggressive roar to that of a barking dog.

In this episode the duo sit down with Becky to chat about their early memories on two wheels, the thrill of launching over desert sand dunes, and what it really takes to conquer the Dakar.
