Dakar: motorcycle, the American Brabec and Honda triumph

Ricky Brabec triumphs in the motorcycle Dakar. The American from Honda won the two-wheel competition for the second time in his career at the end of the 12th and final stage in Yanbu, Saudi Arabia. The 32-year-old distanced himself from Botswana rider Ross Branch and Frenchman Adrien Van Beveren, who stands on the Dakar podium for the first time in his career at 33 years old. The last stage in Yanbu was won by the Argentinean Kevin Benavides (KTM), who arrived at the foot of the podium in the general classification. This 46th edition of the legendary rally-raid, renowned for being the most difficult in the world, was marked by the death of Spanish motorcyclist Carles Falcon at the age of 45, just over a week after being seriously injured in an accident.
