00:00ENGINES REVVING

00:05Welcome to Stage 7.

00:07HE HUMS

00:10Seven categories, working 24-7.

00:13HE HUMS

00:16To crown the magnificent seven...

00:18HE HUMS

00:21..of Dakar 47.

00:24HE SCREAMS

00:25He did it!

00:27It's very cool, isn't it?

00:28Yes, it is.

00:57You basically are in a completely different world and all the rest is outside and you

01:13don't worry about it, you have no idea.

01:16The only thing you think is about you and the unknown.

01:43Yesterday we lost the world champion, the Kalahari Ferrari, and one of the most popular

01:48men in Rally Raid, Motswana Ross Branche.

01:52I hit the ground hard and I was going super fast, like 140km an hour when I hit that thing,

01:58so disappointed with myself and with what I threw away, but Dakar comes around every

02:03year, so as long as I'm healthy then I can be back next year.

02:07We hope so Ross, we hope so.

02:09In the bikes, it's Daniel Sanders KTM versus the Hondas.

02:12Ice cold and ice cool 2020 and 2024 Dakar winner Ricky Braybeck, another top 10 today.

02:21My teammates are over there doing interviews and they're ahead of me on the podium so it'll

02:27be a battle to the end.

02:28If I can land on the podium that'll be super awesome, so that's kind of what I'm fighting

02:31for.

02:32Opening with Ricky, Adrian Van Beveren who's coming into form at just the right time.

02:37I catch Ricky at kilometre 30, so it's been like opening from there.

02:41We did a really good team job with Ricky and Tosha.

02:45VBA was 5th and Serena, Tosha, 3rd, with the Spaniard cementing his 2nd position overall.

02:54Pablo Quintanilla has been unusually quiet on his 13th appearance.

02:57He's not such a fan of the Rocky specials, but sand is like his personal playground.

03:01He was 4th today.

03:03Someone else we've hardly seen, Mason Klein, the American was flying yesterday, figuratively

03:07but did so for real today in a helicopter after his cove ground to a halt.

03:14The crankshaft is snapped so at the end it doesn't turn on anymore and I'm out of gas.

03:21Also, I don't know why but my horn doesn't work anymore.

03:26It's definitely not easy to get towed in the dunes.

03:32But today rally leader Daniel Sarnas did something quite incredible.

03:35A 5th stage win of the year truly brings him into the League of Legends.

03:39Only 5 men have won more than that in a single Dakar.

03:42And, while of course it's highly improbable, if he were to win 4 of the next 5 days,

03:46he would equal Hubert Ariel's record of 9 victories in one edition.

03:50Chucky, we salute you.

03:533.47 gained on Serena means his lead is now over 15 minutes.

03:57Luciano and Skyler switch places, but it's a pack of greyhounds chasing a supercharged Australian rabbit.

04:03What 19-year-old rookie Edgar Canett from Rally 2 is doing here is simply astonishing.

04:08Did I mention he's 19 and a Dakar debutant?

04:11Of all the bikes today, he was second, like Carmela Harris in the US election.

04:22I had two dreams since I was a little kid. Mount Everest and Dakar.

04:27I completed the Everest five years ago, and basically I only started riding bikes four years ago.

04:36On the 48-hour Kronos stage I really ended up in the tunes, I didn't even make it to the first bivouac.

04:45It was an experience I will certainly remember for my lifetime.

04:50If Dakar is a 10, Everest is only a 3. It was a kindergarten compared to this.

04:55And this is no bullshit.

04:57Dennis Mildenberger, we salute you too.

05:07Yeah, I mean, it's not going to be this time we're going to win one of these to Brazil, but we'll try again.

05:14Happy to be back and happy to have the car in one piece.

05:20It's not easy on the driver and it's definitely not easy on the navigator,

05:23and we hit a little bit of a square-edge hole.

05:27Yeah, safety and health is more important than anything in the world.

05:32I don't want Sammy to get to 50, 60 years old and can't remember his name and stuff like that.

05:37So, yeah, the smartest guy in the world.

05:40We're going to open today, so it's not going to be easy, but we're going to do our best,

05:43we're going to give everything to be good, not make mistakes and go all the way.

05:47No mistakes, said yesterday's winner, Guillaume Demévius,

05:50and it was the Belgian leading out early this morning,

05:52but the X-Raid Mini's resolve didn't hold out.

05:55A puncture at KM80 and some navigation issues.

05:58But the team is ready to go.

06:00We're going to do our best, we're going to do our best,

06:03we're going to do our best, we're going to do our best,

06:06we're going to do our best, we're going to do our best,

06:09and some navigation issues after 1.60 met he was passed by 16 other cars,

06:13including Seth Quintero, who ended the day fifth fastest.

06:18Second overall overnight, today wasn't Yazeed Al-Raji's best ever drive,

06:22but his seventh place enough to reduce the gap to the top with five stages to go.

06:29Did you switch into Yazeed mode?

06:31Not yet. We'll keep something in the bucket.

06:34Plenty of drivers had issues with the route this morning. Here's why.

06:51Fifth overall is Mitch Guthrie.

06:53He doesn't have the profile of his Ford M-Sport teammates,

06:56Sainz, Roma and Ekstrom, but he and co-driver Kellen Walsh

06:59finished third, the best stage result of their careers.

07:04Ekstrom is having a storming Dakar,

07:0616th on the prologue, the Swede hasn't been outside the top eight since.

07:10Third overall, but now only 10 minutes adrift.

07:13The stage went to Lucas Moraes,

07:15tough for the Brazilian yesterday with major handling issues,

07:18but he picked up five W2RC points by winning the day.

07:25Another stage win for Brazil, for us, for Toyota,

07:29is very important for me after yesterday.

07:34Let's celebrate with the team.

07:36The field are closing in on Latakhen.

07:38Yazeed's Toyota, Matthias' Ford and Nasser's Dacia

07:41are chasing him down, and 21 seconds,

07:43the closest gap after seven stages since 2009,

07:46when Sainz led de Villiers by nine seconds.

07:52After doing nine editions of the Dakar in a car,

07:54winning the first-ever stage in Saudi,

07:56Vaidotta Zala is discovering the trucks in 25.

07:59It's a steep learning curve, but he was second today, eighth overall.

08:04Alistair Price described this as a juicy stage,

08:07and he squeezed everything he could out of that Iveco Powerstar

08:10to win by nine and a half minutes from Zala.

08:15But no sweat for rally leader Martin Matzik.

08:18He cruised home in third,

08:19and with Mitchell van den Brink struggling with belt issues,

08:22the Czech increased his lead to over two hours.

08:29The sixth special was particularly taxing for Danijel Akil,

08:32who finished at 6.30 a.m. this morning,

08:34four minutes after they were supposed to start stage seven.

08:37We came back.

08:39We're a bit late for our start time for the next stage.

08:41We're not too sure if we want to start

08:44because we don't know what we're driving for anymore.

08:48They did leave the bivouac, but soon turned round and came back.

08:51On the course, Corbyn Leverton kept to the week two strategy

08:54he and Tay Perry had worked on

08:56and delivered a second stage victory in the Taurus T3 Max.

08:59Cavigliasso and Pertiguerini still have a half-hour lead over Guerrero.

09:04Yesterday, Jeremias Gonzalez Ferraioli led the special

09:07but slipped to fourth by the end.

09:09No mistake this time.

09:10The Argentine earned a second career win,

09:12Can-Am's fifth in a row.

09:1451 seconds between him and Brock Hegger,

09:16whose dominance takes the shape of a one-hour 36-minute gap to second.

09:21There is a story behind every Dakar participant.

09:24There's a reason why they are the way they are.

09:26And in return, the Dakar creates a story for every participant,

09:30a reason why they'll be the way they are after their Dakar experience.

09:34Something in the past created them

09:36and something in the Dakar changes them forever.

09:39Be excited. Be inspired.

09:41For tomorrow, we meet again, rally fans.
