Dakar 2025 | Prologue: Doors wide open

The FIM rules for the 4th season of the W2RC open the doors of the championship to bikers from all over the world. From now on, any rider enrolled in the Rally 2 class on a leg of the calendar can score points and appear in the rankings. Edgar Canet, who arrived on the scene midway through 2024 on the 3rd leg in Portugal could become one of the leading protagonists of the season. He is also the first official rider to join the category. With the switch to Rally GP of title holder Bradley Cox, the die-hards in the class Michael Docherty and Tobias Ebster displayed their intentions to make their performances count this year by climbing onto the day’s podium. Like Canet, Jacob Argubright has also sensationally emerged, into 4th place in the Rally 2 rankings with the leading Honda, the new motorbike for the brand's customers, for which the American has been development rider since the Dakar 2024.
