Australian Daniel Sanders has a nine-minute bike lead heading into Friday's final Stage 12 after his challengers went all out to cut the gap in Thursday's penultimate Stage 11. The Red Bull KTM Factory Racing rider saw nearest rival Tosha Schareina take 7m31s out of him with Argentine Luciano Benavides and Adrien Van Beveren also making inroads. As teenage Spaniard Edgar Canet looks to close out a memorable Rally2 title victory tomorrow, Sanders' teammate Benavides has an outside shot at finishing on the bike podium with 6m26s separating him from Frenchman Van Beveren in third place. https://www.outlookindia.com/sports/motorsport/dakar-rally-2025-australian-daniel-sanders-takes-lead-over-other-riders-as-race-reaches-stage-11-in-shubaytah-in-pics
