Sam Sunderland takes his second Dakar Rally victory with a consistent performance during the 2022 Saudi Arabian event. The Gas Gas Factory racing pilot held a consistent top position throughout the trecherous event, never falling into the myriad of time traps or errors that caught most competitors off their game.

Pablo Quintanilla on the Monster Energy Honda raced hard in the final to secure second position, a great finish for the Chilean on his new team. 

Red Bull KTM's Matthias Walkner pushed in the final days to reach the overall podium in third, 

The time gap between the top three is narrow, with less than seven minutes separating the top riders. 

In today's show we go over the final day, overall results, discuss results from all the other classes and tease our upcoming wrap-up show !

Today is the day at the 2022 Dakar Rally where the teams align and set their best riders up to win the big show. 

We get an update from Husqvarna's Skyler Howes who is back home after a horrific crash

Red Bull KTM's Toby Price won the stage, creeping  up in the general rankings but still considerably out of contention for a podium overall position . 

Monster Energy Honda led the stage from the get-go today, but  dropped time mid-stage and that immediately put Red Bull KTM's Matthias Walkner on the front of the stage to fend for himself. Walkner led well for most of the stage, but dropped considerable time at the final km's, finishing deep in the pack. 

The other half of the Honda team, Pablo Quintanilla and Joan Barreda rode well and finished strategically to set up a great result  on the final big day tomorrow.

Consistent 2022 race leader Sam Sunderland lost time today on his GasGas but still is in strong contention for an overall victory.

We get into all the strategy scenarios in today's show with quotes from Adrian Van Beveren, Sam Sunderland, Matthias Walkner, and Joan Barreda
