Fast tracks, extensive dune fields, technical passages in valleys, and strong winds demanded concentration and navigational skills for many hours. It was precisely this combination that played into KTM&#8217;s hands.<\/p>\n<p>Luciano Benavides started the stage as the previous day&#8217;s winner and led the entire distance. Despite the difficult conditions, the Argentinean did not let himself be caught, collected valuable time credits, and continuously extended his lead in the daily classification.<\/p>\n<h2>Benavides takes advantage of bonus time and takes the overall lead<\/h2>\n<p>At the end of the stage, Benavides secured his second consecutive stage victory. With a riding time of 4:26:39 hours, he gained 4:50 minutes on teammate Daniel Sanders and 5:02 minutes on Ricky Brabec. However, more decisive than the stage victory was the effect on the overall standings.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to a total time credit of 7:28 minutes, the 30-year-old took the overall lead for the first time in the 2026 Dakar. After eight of 13 stages, Benavides now leads Sanders by just 10 seconds.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI attacked from start to finish and felt great doing it. The strong wind in the last section made navigation extremely difficult, but overall it was a very good day,\u201d Benavides explained after the stage.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><!-- notionvc: c8ead1e4-e18d-4d67-a9fc-434523795bd5 --><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1030\" height=\"687\" src=\"https:\/\/www.motorcycles.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Dakar-2026-Etappe-8-10-1030x687.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-167581\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.motorcycles.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Dakar-2026-Etappe-8-10-1030x687.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/www.motorcycles.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Dakar-2026-Etappe-8-10-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.motorcycles.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Dakar-2026-Etappe-8-10-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.motorcycles.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Dakar-2026-Etappe-8-10-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.motorcycles.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Dakar-2026-Etappe-8-10-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.motorcycles.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Dakar-2026-Etappe-8-10-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.motorcycles.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Dakar-2026-Etappe-8-10-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.motorcycles.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Dakar-2026-Etappe-8-10-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">104 MOREAU R\u00e9my (fra), Team Nomade Racing, KTM, Rallye 2, FIM W2RC, action during the Stage 8 of the Dakar 2026, on January 12, 2026 around Wadi Ad-Dawasir, Saudi Arabia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2>Honda under pressure despite good individual results<\/h2>\n<p>From Honda&#8217;s point of view, stage 8 was a mixed bag. Ricky Brabec made the most of his tenth place on the grid, setting the fastest times at the checkpoints for a long time and building up a lead of more than two minutes over Sanders. However, KTM&#8217;s bonus time strategy wiped out this advantage.<\/p>\n<p>Brabec finished the stage in third place and also dropped to third in the overall standings. He is now 4:47 minutes behind the leader. The American was satisfied with his riding performance, but was clearly shaken emotionally.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t make any mistakes and rode as fast as I could, but our best is not good enough at the moment. It almost seems as if they know things about some stages that we don&#8217;t know,&#8221; said Brabec.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Tosha Schareina was also unable to keep up. Despite finishing fourth on the stage, the Spaniard is already more than 20 minutes behind and is unlikely to be in contention for the overall victory. Adrien van Beveren and Skyler Howes achieved solid top-six results but lost further ground in the overall standings.<\/p>\n<h2>KTM with tactical advantage in the second week of the Dakar<\/h2>\n<p>While Honda is focusing on consistency, KTM seems to be making the most of the stage characteristics in the second week. Fast stages with comparatively easy navigation suit the KTM trio. Benavides and Sanders also benefit specifically from the time bonuses for stage starters.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Despite losing the overall lead, Daniel Sanders was satisfied with his performance. \u201cStarting from fourth place was difficult. If there are no mistakes at the front, it&#8217;s almost impossible to make up time,\u201d explained the Australian.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Behind the KTM one-two, rookie Edgar Canet once again delivered a consistent performance in seventh place, despite minor navigation errors costing him time.<\/p>\n<h2>Rally2: Ventura strong, Campbell remains overall leader<\/h2>\n<p>In the Rally2 category, the stage victory went to Neels Theric, who celebrated his third stage win at the 2026 Dakar. Martim Ventura missed out on victory on his Honda by just 15 seconds, but once again made up places and now lies fifth in the overall standings.<\/p>\n<p>Preston Campbell confidently defended his overall lead with fourth place. Despite losing 3:31 minutes to the stage winner, his lead over Toni Mulec remains 9:36 minutes.<\/p>\n<p><!-- notionvc: 2c1d254d-0cdb-428c-86ba-384aa2c42469 --><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1030\" height=\"687\" src=\"https:\/\/www.motorcycles.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Dakar-2026-Etappe-8-16-1030x687.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-167582\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.motorcycles.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Dakar-2026-Etappe-8-16-1030x687.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/www.motorcycles.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Dakar-2026-Etappe-8-16-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.motorcycles.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Dakar-2026-Etappe-8-16-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.motorcycles.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Dakar-2026-Etappe-8-16-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.motorcycles.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Dakar-2026-Etappe-8-16-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.motorcycles.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Dakar-2026-Etappe-8-16-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.motorcycles.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Dakar-2026-Etappe-8-16-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.motorcycles.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Dakar-2026-Etappe-8-16-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">68 SCHAREINA Tosha (esp), Monster Energy Honda HRC, Honda, Rally GP, FIM W2RC, action during the Stage 8 of the Dakar 2026, on January 12, 2026 around Wadi Ad-Dawasir, Saudi Arabia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2>Looking ahead: Marathon stage as the next hurdle<\/h2>\n<p>Stage 9 marks the start of the second marathon stage of the rally.
