Ebster, an Original by Motul in the motorbike top 10 updates
Tobias Ebster, leading the Original by Motul class in his Dakar debut, took a quantum leap today. Kinigadner’s nephew clinched the Rally 2 special and cracked the top 10 overall! Ninth in the stage, the 26-year-old pizza delivery guy seems right at home tearing through the dunes. It was, after all, in the nearby sands of the Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge that he put his name on the map in early 2023, when he grabbed the Rally 2 trophy and earned his ticket for this January by winning the Road to Dakar challenge. The Austrian has got two days left to flaunt his sand-shredding talent before heading to Yanbu and then defending his title back in Abu Dhabi. The W2RC is on the radar for Ebster, who is eager to make a splash as soon as he can.
On the international side, two-time and defending Dakar Rally racing bike winner Kevin Benavides (Argentina), his brother and reigning World Rally-Raid Champion Luciano Benavides (Argentina) and two-time Dakar Rally bike champions Toby Price (Australia) and Sam Sunderland (Great Britain) are all expected to ride.
