The 2024 Dakar Rally "48-Hour Chrono" stage kicked off today and dished out more challenges for the Dakar Rally competitors.

January 06, 2024 18:34 - 43 minutes - 39.5 MB

Ross Branch takes the stage win on his Hero Motorsports ride after a really fast pace kept him in front almost all day.  American Mason Klein woke everyone up today with his decision yesterday to willingly lead out a huge day of the rally - putting himself at risk of massive time loss. But, that didn't happen as the kid on the Kove lead the way all day, never seeing another rider in his rearview. His ride captured all the available bonus points on-course (six minutes worth), and combined wi...

January 04, 2024 23:49 - 50 minutes - 46.6 MB

Skyler Howes is a fan favorite no matter what bike he's riding. Which is good for him and his fans since he's just switched bikes and is now the final member of the six-rider deep HRC Monster Energy Honda Team. In this pre-race interview we get down-and-dirty with Howes about injuries, his switch from Husqvarna to Honda, new team dynamics with fellow American Ricky Brabec and all the drama we can dig up (we're trying really hard to dig up some drama). We also go off on the assumption train ...

January 04, 2024 14:38 - 1 hour - 58.5 MB

In this episode of Dakar Rally Daily we interview Mason Klein, the up-and-coming American rally racer as he prepares to head to Dubai in advance of the 2024 Dakar Rally. Mason gives us plenty to talk about as his program has completely flipped in 2024. After stage-winning and top-overall standing performances at last year's Dakar, Mason was a victim of budget cuts in the KTM support program and left without a contract. So, he's going at it on his own with friends and family and a new ride - ...

Stage 13 show is up and ready to rock. Today we cover stage 13 from the 2023 Dakar Rally and, unbelievably, the race is actually closer, again. After a big day in the dunes, the leaders of the overall classification are separated by a mere 12 seconds. Third place is a minute-and-a-half back from the lead. We've never seen a Dakar Rally so close. And tomorrow's final stage will be a ripper with racers starting in reverse order and absolutely sending it for 130km into the final podium. It's a ...

KLIM Dakar Rally Daily | 2023 Stage 12 | Episode 61

January 13, 2023 16:28 - 1 hour - 57.1 MB

Today's KLIM Dakar Rally Daily show from Stage 12 is here and we are blown away by how close the front of the race continues to be.  Amazing rides at the front of the race today shook the results up and turned predictability on its head. But, the front three contenders are still in control and the time gaps are someone staying unbelievably tight. We're talking less than three minutes separating the top three, 28-second gap between the top two! That's right, 28 seconds is the gap at the top...

KLIM Dakar Rally Daily | 2023 Stage 11 | Episode 60

January 12, 2023 16:30 - 1 hour - 59.3 MB

KLIM Dakar Rally Daily from Stage 11 of the 2023 Dakar Rally is LIVE. Boy, we honestly didn't see this coming. The race at the top of the general classification is off-the-charts close. Less than three minutes separates the top three riders, with first and second place covered by under 30 seconds. That's insane considering what each of these riders have been through. To keep the contenders for the win that close by stage 11 shows how successful the race organizations planning and points sys...

January 10, 2023 16:48 - 53 minutes - 48.8 MB

The Dakar Rally starts after rest day. That's what they say. And apparently they know what they're talking about as  for the first time this year we are seeing big time losses from those who lead out stages and more and more mistakes are piling up.

January 07, 2023 16:56 - 58 minutes - 53.3 MB

Stage Seven from the 2023 Dakar Rally was canceled after Stage six dragged on for most riders into the night. The organizers made the call to make it a commute today, sending the motorcycle riders off on 500km road ride into a marathon bivouac. The weather really threw the last couple days into chaos but after tonights camp-out without their teams, the riders have just one more day of racing before the rest stage. In today's show we hear from a resurrected Paul Neff who spent 30+ hours with...

KLIM Dakar Rally Daily | 2023 Stage 6 | Episode 54

January 06, 2023 16:43 - 44 minutes - 40.6 MB

Well, the chaos continues to reign down on the Dakar racers after a massive, 900-plus-kilometer stage with a grueling 300KM liaison back to the pits. That liaison was almost as long as the entire timed special race portion of the day. And, it was a  surprise! Most racers figured the planned day would go as originally planned, but that didn't happen. With today's original bivouac area completely flooded out, it was impossible for the moving city of a race to go there. So, organizers picked u...

January 05, 2023 15:55 - 45 minutes - 41.5 MB

Today's Stage 5 Show goes deep into the sands of Saudi Arabia for direct reporting from the 2023 Dakar Rally.  For the first time in the rally, big navigation errors and accuracy determined the outcome of the day's and overall ranking.

We hear from stage winner Adrien VanBeveren, today's runner-up Nacho Cornejo, first-on-course Joa...

KLIM Dakar Rally Daily | 2023 Stage 4 | Episode 52

January 04, 2023 17:50 - 54 minutes - 49.6 MB

Dakar Rally Stage 4 didn't disappoint with the speed and drama we expect from this epic race.  After losing Ricky Brabec to a crash (he's ok!) yesterday, the Honda crew stepped it up big time today with top finishes  and a stage win from Joan Barreda (29th stage win) and Pablo Quintanilla in second. Skyler Howes rode incredibly strong, again, to round out the top three - starting in second on the outset. Toby Price, Adrien VanBeveren, Luciano Benavides, Kevin Benavides, Daniel Sanders (who ...

KLIM Dakar Rally Daily | 2023 Stage 3 | Episode 51

January 03, 2023 16:54 - 1 hour - 59 MB

Today was one of those days at Dakar that really shakes things up.  For all but 43 motorcycle riders, the race stage was cut short due to a massive rain/hail storm wiping through the Saudi desert. The images are insane and reports are nasty.  For most of the moto contenders, the day ahead of that storm was fantastic. Unfortunately, American Ricky Brabec has withdrew from the race after a hard crash during the stage. His injuries aren't fully known yet but we do know he was stable with mobili...

January 02, 2023 18:51 - 1 hour - 64 MB

American RallyGP Rookie Mason Klein raced to his career-first Dakar stage win in today's long and grueling Stage 2 of the 2023 Dakar Rally. The privateer racer on the BAS Trucks KTM support team started the day in third place, an unfavorable starting position giving the length of the stage and potential for massive time loss. But, it seemed, the field was more than happy to give him the chance to lead out towards the end of the rally and he did so with a bit of authority, stamping his name ...

It's already getting crazy out there, people. Welcome to the  KLIM Dakar Rally Daily 2023 Stage 1 show. Today we go over a lot of details about the race that happened, but first, we get some apologies out of the way for our beer-induced Stage Zero show from last night. Turns out we shouldn't do that because we should just know better. Not because we drank beer and made fools of ourselves, but because we should just know that Dakar is never predictable and that procedures always change! Big...

KLIM Dakar Rally Daily | 2023 Toby Price Pre-Race Interview | Episode 46

December 29, 2022 22:40 - 52 minutes - 47.7 MB

Toby Price needs little introduction to die-hard Dakar Rally fans. He's a two-time winner on the Red Bull Factory KTM Rally Team and is probably the only dude to win a Dakar Rally with a broken wrist. He's also just generally an absolute beast on a motorcycle with almost ten Dakar Rally events under his belt. He's had a few injury DNF's but otherwise he's only missed the podium one year when getting to the end. That year was 2022, so he's looking for redemption in 2023. We infiltrated the F...

In today's show we go deep into what many competitors are calling the toughest day of racing in the 2022 edition of the Dakar Rally in Saudi Arabia. Massive miles and challenging terrain, mixed with navigation complications right out of the gate, had front runners scrambling to limit time loss, while those who set off in a favorable starting position further back reaped maximum benefits. Starting the day in the overall lead for the rally, Monster Energy Yamaha's Adrian Van Beveren had a tou...
