Argentine Luciano Benavides was a big mover during Monday's Stage 8 as he won by over two minutes, while also stopping to check on Pablo Quintanilla who crashed 133km into the stage. Thankfully, after calling for medical assistance, the Chilean's injuries did not appear too serious and Benavides was given the time back. With the route to Saudi Arabia's capital city of Riyadh featuring a timed special stage of over 480 kilometres, Benavides now moves up to fourth overall 30m48s behind bike leader Daniel Sanders with Spanish rookie Edgar Canet - the latest recruit to Red Bull KTM Factory Racing - leading the Rally2 category by 31m11s from Austrian rider Tobias Ebster. https://www.outlookindia.com/sports/motorsport/dakar-rally-2025-stage-8-sees-luciano-benavides-make-the-big-move-as-riders-reach-rocky-terrains-in-riyadh-in-pics
