Benavides rides to smallest Dakar Rally win margin and Al-Attiyah confirms sixth car title

Luciano Benavides exploited a navigation blunder by Ricky Brabec minutes from the finish of the Dakar Rally to sensationally win the motorbike title on Saturday by two seconds — the smallest margin ever. Meanwhile, Nasser Al-Attiyah safely secured his sixth car title on the 13th and final stage, a flat-out 105-kilometer sprint along the Red Sea coast to Yanbu. Brabec was hurtling toward his third Dakar victory.
