The Dakar started in 1977

as a rally race from Paris
to Senegal in Africa.

It's moved all around
the world since,

but it's been in Saudi Arabia
for the last few years.

The rally consists of
multiple time stages,

and at the end, we add it all up

and the person with the best
time wins the whole race.

So, of course, you can win
the stage and that's awesome,

but it doesn't mean much
outside of the whole.

Uh, we have multiple separate
categories of vehicles.

They race each
other but don't mix.

Cars versus cars.
Trucks versus trucks.

Buggies versus buggies.

Just at the last possible...

We don't mix categories.

I personally race in
the motorcycle category.

Price, the Dakar leader...

To be the first Australian to
win the Dakar, it's insane.

Toby Price, taking
over at the top,

winning his second Dakar title.

We do it the old-fashioned
way using a road book.

There is a very real
chance of getting lost

in the middle of the desert,

or worse.

Toby Price in the lead again,

but sadly a dark
day on Dakar 2020.

It's with a heavy heart that
we begin with the tragic news

that Paulo Gonçalves has died

after crashing in
today's seventh stage.

Price stopped to help when
he came across the scene.

The entire Dakar family

would like to extend its
sincerest condolences

to all of Paulo's
family and friends.

It's known as the
most dangerous race

in the world, really, cos we...

we cover so many kilometers
over so many days, and...

we never get to see the track.

Every day, we go into a
track completely blind and...

we're expected to go speeds

of up to 170, 80
kilometers an hour.

Unfortunately, we normally have

one casualty and one
fatality each year.

It's... yeah, it's quite tough
on the riders and drivers.

Last time I won it, I did
it with a broken wrist.

I've paid the price for that.

I have quite a lot
of scars on the body.

Let's have you move
this thumb now.

My broken bone
tally is up to 30.

Injuries definitely
take their toll.

It's a little tight, but...

Sainz was over the moon.

Throughout the day, Sainz
changed gear 2,066 times.

With Sainz eventually
winning his first Dakar.

Carlos Sainz reaping a rich
reward, a second Dakar win.

A third Dakar win
for Carlos Sainz.

This is my 17th time
racing at Dakar.

It always changes.

Why am I still doing this?

My kids are grown up.

My son is a professional driver
himself, but he races F1.

He hasn't raced Dakar yet.

-Who's the king?
-Who is number one?

Junior or senior?

He's part of our legacy.

There is no race more
extreme than this.

But I do have a new challenge.

This year, we'll race
an all-electric car.

Every other team in T1
is still petrol power.

Stéphane Peterhansel
has been doing this

even longer than I have.

We've been on many
different teams as rivals,

but Audi wanted the
most experienced drivers

to race their electric cars.

So now we are teammates.

An old driver in
the newest machine.

This is a big test.

But we're not off
to a good start.

It's only my second
time at Dakar.

I'm going up against the
legends of the sport.

Can you slip this on?

I don't know if I can win,

but I want to make an
impression and get on a team.

Thanks.

It's kind of hard to imagine

what I'd be doing if
it wasn't for rally.

It doesn't feel like work yet.

It's not about the racing,

it's about the riding
and the adventure,

and I've seen so many
different crazy places.

You're gonna meet so many
cool people, like Toby.

You're gonna travel the world
and ride dirt bikes everywhere.

Here's a nice little road book.

-Let me see.
-Oh, yeah.

If you don't read everything,

you can miss some
important information.

At this arrow, if you're
not going comp setting 275,

you know you're
going the wrong way.

Green means slow down
when you see this.

White is wide open.

-This is...
-Step down.

Yep. Red means danger.

So many details in a road
book that you got to get over.

OK, everyone's
favorite topic, money.

I'm not an amateur but
I'm not on a factory team.

Supermarkets in Jeddah.

So I have a few sponsors

but I have to pay for
everything myself.

You need to figure out how
to raise maybe another 7,000

in the next two weeks.

My parents have
done so much for me.

I don't want to let them down.

We can get cash when we
get there from the airport.

If you get a speeding
penalty on your bike,

you're not allowed to start the
next day until you pay in cash.

Factory racers like Toby
Price have huge support teams.

-That's a lot of cash.
-I have my dad.

-No penalties.
-No penalties for you.

No penalties.

A few weeks ago, I was invited

to join Red Bull's
new junior team.

They want to develop us to
drive in T1, eventually.

I'm on the team
with Seth Quintero,

one of the newest, fastest,
and most exciting drivers.

We're on a team of "young" talents,
even though I'm not the youngest.

In T1 most people are older

Carlos is 60.

And Nasser is around 46.

Seth is a very promising driver,

he's doing super well.

It's funny because he comes
off as a typical American dude,

but then he's a sweetie.

Hello, my friend.

We race light vehicles
called side-by-sides.

-The T3 category.
-It's good, or no?

Seth is kind of the
star driver of our team.

He already has a world record.

-In the dunes, it's OK?
-It's hot, but...

Last year, he won almost
every stage at Dakar,

even though he didn't
win the whole rally.

What happened inside
your team when I came?

-He wouldn't tell us.
-Actually, nothing.

You didn't tell...

Until the morning
you came there.

-But he told you it's a girl?
-No. We didn't know anything.

We thought it was...

It was just like there
was a girl coming.

Oh. OK.

And then it was you.

-And they gave us Cristina.
-No. We're just fast.

I've never won the Dakar.

Other races, for sure.

I already have a world record.

I've won the World
Rally Championships

nine times in a row.

I've won nearly everything in
rally racing except the Dakar.

The Dakar is just...

It's a different thing.

This is a tough year.

Fourteen stages, 15
days, 9,000 kilometers.

What's so challenging is
that there is no track.

You get the road
book that morning

with no time to
prepare in advance

and that's what makes the Dakar
the toughest race in the world.

Some people don't make it.

All good, Sammy?

Today, it's OK, but you can't
come in here every morning.

All right, mate? Do
it today and then...

Because we are
normally in a big rush.

Big rush trying to get ready.

Stressed out trying to
organize everything.

OK.

-Yeah, mate.
-Yeah, happy New Year, brother.

Have a good run.
Have a good New Year.

-We'll try our best, mate.
-You too.

2022 was good for you.

Can't always go well.

I'm sure it can for you.

-See how it pans out, hey?
-That's true.

Chris said happy New Year.

Happy New Year.

Everything else is ready.

-Water.
-Yeah.

-Happy New Year.
-Have a good one.

It's now New Year.

Happy New Year.

-Happy New Year.
-Happy New Year.

-Left or right?
-Left.

This side.

-Yeah.
-Wow. I'd say this is worth it.

-Exactly.
-Living the dream.

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

Apparently, I'm
living the dream.

Morning. Here for stage one.

Getting ready to go out.
368-kilometer special today.

I'm excited. I'm starting 13th
today. Thank you, everyone.

-Something like that.
-Perfect.

-You recorded it?
-Yeah.

This is it. This is
what it's all about.

First day, 14 stages total.

It's a long race.

Sammy and I have been
doing this a long time.

My body might be
falling to pieces,

but I can still do this.

Sam won the Dakar
last year. He's a pro.

So I can't let
him win this time.

You hear me? Yeah, Sam?

Careful with the leg.

Are you OK, Sam?
Tell us if it hurts.

We're going to get you
ready for transport.

Approaching for Sam Sunderland's

evacuation on site.

-Ten feet.
-Three minutes.

Already got a serious
injury and it's my roommate.

Lots of serious injuries here.

We've all been through it.

There'll be plenty more.

You just hope it's not you.

Hey, mate.

How's Sammy?

Broken shoulder plate
and small concussion.

-Bloody hell.
-He is flying home.

So he's not coming back.

He's flying home
tonight already.

-Gone?
-Also, yeah, dislocated elbow.

They make all these stupid
freaking rule changes and shit.

And they just make a
dumb road book like that.

It's good to have you
back in one piece.

Yeah, a long way to go.

I'm just cruising
through and surviving.

You have the trailer
to yourself now.

We'll be good.

You know I didn't win, right?

So all day we have a
speed limit of 160, right?

-Yes.
-When it isn't 160,

they tell you, right?

When you get to a speed zone,

it says real big, "This
is the max speed."

It says I have four
speeding penalties

because I was supposed to know
that in this section, it's 130.

But it showed...

-It showed 130. Yeah.
-There you go, 160.

Yeah. But how do you
know what's too high,

if it doesn't say...?

Well, cos you're at 160 and
then it's going to go to 130.

-Yeah, but how do you know?
-Because it's the road rule.

He doesn't understand where
he should have seen to know.

I didn't know that that was
a thing that I should know.

I wouldn't be worried about
tomorrow or the next day.

You got to get to stage 14.
This race can change so quickly.

-Yeah.
-Or you can crash out like Sam.

This thing happens.

You can crash on a road section
leading the bloody race.

-Anything can happen.
-Yep.

Yeah. Kinda lame.

It was full race to here.

Yeah. And then, exactly.

There's two people
in front of me

and I was trying to catch up.

Mason. What are you doing?

Talking crap about
the road book.

Yeah, as soon as we got onto
the highway, it said 130.

-In the road book?
-No. On the GPS.

-There you go.
-So...

Why would that neutralization
be any different?

I don't know. I don't
know a lot, Skyler.

You care too much about
what people think about you.

You just got to do
your own thing, bud.

-Yeah.
-It's you, the bike,

and the road book.

Don't worry about anything else.

-OK.
-All right.

See you, Skyler.

How was your day? I saw you.

-Yeah?
-You looked fast, yeah.

Yes.

I was sitting there and I'm
like, "Oh, there she goes.

Oh, she's still goin'. Oh,
still goin'. Still goin'."

Every night, we
come to the podium

and they announce who won that
day and our overall ranking.

I like to watch T1 guys.
They're my future competition.

Yeah, I know.

I know you need some notes or
you don't remember the notes.

When we were driving together...

This is why you need
the clever people.

Nasser and I have
been battling it out

for close to two decades.

No mistake in motor sport.

Last year, Nasser beat me.

He's now got four wins under
his belt. I've got three.

Tomorrow's start is a different
story. Yeah, absolutely.

My family is here
to cheer me on.

They allow my son to
put the medal on me.

Not bad for an old guy.

I'm happy to push innovation,

but I still want to win.

There are other drivers
with eyes on my back.

Old rivalries are
always chasing me.

Nasser is always
looking for an opening.

Nasser and Carlos Sainz neck
and neck, battling it out.

What aggression. The two titans
cutting in front of each other.

Over the line first! Carlos
Sainz takes stage victory.

And what a fantastic
last few kilometers.

Smiles on the faces
of the front two.

It's not just
Nasser this time.

Loeb is right behind me.
He got second yesterday.

I only beat him by 23 seconds.

Loeb is right behind me.

We both come from WRC.

But this is Dakar.

There is no road.

Putain de bordel de merde!

Carlos is gone. We'll
never catch up now.

Unless a miracle happens,

the rally is
already over for me.

A good day, and I meet
my family at the finish.

I'm so happy my wife and
son can see this firsthand.

A roller coaster of emotions.

The mental stress
for five hours.

Not knowing what's
behind everyone.

Looking like 20 meters in front
of a fucking single stone.

You sit and your butt is like...

Which kilometer...

-First one at...
-Twenty?

-Twenty, yeah.
-OK.

And then I drove like this

because I saw that
it will be worse,

and then we got the second.

And every single stone...

-Shitty day!
-How can they pick a special like that?

I drive ten percent
of my possibility.

Yeah, yeah.

And you get only puncture
on the top of the tire.

How many punctures did you have?

Fifty-first puncture, 72nd
puncture, one on the side.

You drive in this stage nearly
150 kilometers over like this.

-Hundred and fifty kilometers?
-Yeah.

It's not to know how to drive.

It's just completely
stupid to drive there.

It's not a road,
it's just driving

in the middle of the big stones.

-It's not sport. It's not sport.
-No. It is not sport.

Are you going to
keep hiding in bed?

Yes, love, but it's
only the second day.

You have 13 days left!

We wasted our day
fixing shitty tyres!

Last year you were behind
by an hour and a half,

and you still came in second.

-Thank you.
-Thank you, guys.

Let's play hot hands.

-How do you play?
-Now I hit you.

Like this... One, two, three.

It's impossible!

I know that the
focus is on Seth.

But that makes me want
even more to make a mark.

I am a good teammate, but, of
course, I still want to win.

That's why I'm here.

I'm a competitor.

Now I have a chance
to surprise everyone.

Obviously, there's, like, five
roads missing in the road book.

Yes.

Kilometer... Which one?

So nine plus how many?

-Five minutes something?
-Five... two minutes.

He has two minutes on me.

That's not bad.

It's not bad. It's good.

When people think
of the desert,

they think of sand and sun.

But this, everything can
change in an instant here.

Come this way. Come this way.

-This way, this way.
-Oh, shit!

Go, go, go.

We're back.

Did you see the videos?

Yeah. I saw Juan Pablo get
washed away in a river, dude.

We went through there and
that's when it came down hard.

You couldn't see
in front of you.

We were going, like,
130, just like...

-That was a deep one too.
-And I was fine up until then.

Did you see that
video of Cristina?

That stream we crossed
literally became a river.

Yeah. There's still 20
cars missing in the finish.

It'll cost a lot, huh?

Yeah, she got a
flat. What, like...

Probably, like, 70.

We went by and then, apparently,

she got another
flat right after.

Like, not long after.

But where's Alvarez?

Because he was right behind us

battling with all of us
and he didn't finish.

-Half the team is missing.
-Yeah.

It'll be cool to
hit one camel grass

and jump the river.

-That's what we have to find.
-Mason, you first.

OK. That's good. Let's go.

And now in the...

But these kids, they
have so much energy...

Yeah.

They joke about Mason
because he's a real threat.

For now, he's kicking
your ass, guys.

-No, no.
-He's really good.

It doesn't matter what you say.

No, it was amazing.
He opened all day.

-All day.
-Yeah, fuck.

He's undisciplined
but he's fearless.

Well, is it what it is.

One stage less.

I hope they can fix it.

When I don't understand
what's going on with the car,

I get frustrated and I come
back mentally exhausted.

I won't be able to compete.

All I can do is finish the
stage and hope the others fail.

I don't like that.

I was watching last year's videos. I'm
going to show you the first four days.

You were a wreck on
day one. Day one!

Sometimes you're off to a bad
start, but then it gets better.

With a bit of luck

things will go in the right
direction and you will do great.

Thank you.

People don't understand that
we risk our lives out here.

Going full gas into the unknown,

it's really dangerous, but
there's nothing like it.

But the body remembers
every accident.

A couple of years ago, I
broke my neck and spine.

They had to screw bolts into
my skull without painkillers.

Didn't think I'd ever ride
again, much less walk.

But I did it and
I got on the bike.

You have a chance to
be part of a legend.

I'd do it over and over.

Because how can you stop?

-You were very fast?
-Yeah.

Barreda crashed in front of me.

Uh-huh?

Went past me flat
out and then...

and just, he high sided,

then the bike came in front
of me and wiped me out.

So...

Otherwise I wouldn't
have crashed, but...

-You started to brake, huh?
-What's that?

-You started to brake?
-I just started to brake.

But then the bike was,
like, right there and...

Skyler saw the
whole thing, so...

And Toby just drills him.

I thought both of them
would just be toast.

Toby, like, went kind
of over handlebars?

Yeah, yeah. So he hit him,

-and I saw Toby skid.
-That's crazy.

Just Barreda's out cold,
like full-on, full asleep.

It was super scary.

And he starts to blink

and finally, he kind
of, like, comes to.

And he's like, "Yeah, I'm good to go."
-Ready to go.

We're like, "Dude, are you OK?"

He's like, "A little bit
blurry but, yeah, it's OK."

And then...

I've been lucky, but
one day luck runs out.

All riders know this.

Goddamn it.

Not many people retire
in this sport by choice.

Doesn't matter what
strategy or plan you make,

-it never works.
-No.

Whoo! I got 19
seconds' bonus today.

I know, I saw that.

-Yeah, boy.
-Whoo!

Luciano and Kevin also lost a
bit of time in that same spot.

Yeah. Yep.

I think the only one that
didn't really was Mason.

Yeah, Mason did well
with it too, so.

Sorry.

I don't know how people
do this every year.

I'm wrecked.

You can win the stage
and that's cool and all,

but then you have thousands

and thousands and
thousands of miles

to go still, no end in sight.

I'm 20 years old and I'm already
getting too old for this.

In T3, Seth Quintero
and Dennis Zenz

for the team Red Bull
Off-Road Junior Team USA.

In T1, we have Nasser
Al-Attiyah and Mathieu Baumel

for Toyota Gazoo Racing.

It's so crazy getting ready

next to a legend
like Toby Price.

I'm really proud
of my race so far.

I finally feel like I belong.

I'm one of these guys now.

It's only my second time here
and I'm close to the top.

I don't need to ask for their
respect, I've earned it.

I'm one of the big dogs now.

I had to spin because I couldn't
turn the steering wheel.

I enter in a corner...

And once we jumped, I
think two meter high.

I took a cannon run.

Five meter from the
road. Fifth gear.

Couldn't direct the car.

Direction, camera, glass.

Drivers like Nasser, they
don't show any weakness.

I want to drive with the best.

Carlos, Nasser.

I want T1.

T1 makes sense only if
there is a long-term plan.

-Yeah, at least three years.
-You know we are working on it.

Their eyes are on you,
and you know that.

Just needs to happen
in the right way.

I mean, realistically, have you
seen how much speed they carry?

You need to get used to it.

-Well, did you see my times?
-Yeah, I know.

I'm close.

I know. It's what the guys
were saying yesterday.

You're an American kid
with the Can-Am pass by

and impossible to follow.

-Really?
-Yeah, but it's the truth.

-That's cool.
-We know that.

You want to go up, but
you want to stay there.

Yeah, I don't want to just...

You don't want to be the guy
crashing the cars and just...

He was good.

It's gonna become too expensive.

-So go back to your little car.
-Yeah.

Yeah, he was good.

I wouldn't talk
to myself either.

-What up, man?
-OK. You good?

Oh, yeah. Never been better.

-You good?
-Yes.

I think don't focus
too much on that.

If it's gonna come,
it's gonna come.

No, I know. The
only reason why...

Things have gotten
a little better.

Nasser is in the lead with
Peterhansel just behind.

I've moved up from 30th to 13th.

We're not even halfway
through the rally

and I'm already exhausted.

It's so different than
the races I usually win.

And when all was said and done,

it was the greatest of
all time, Sébastien Loeb.

Monte Carlo is extreme,
but we know the track.

It's three days. Here, it's 14.

At Dakar, there is no
track. Just the road book.

Here everything can end in an
instant, and just like life,

you never know what is
around the next corner.

But also... there's
freedom here.

No roads, just sand.

You can just go
here, fast as hell.

I am used to racing on roads,

but here, it's a
different kind of focus.

Primitive and wild.

And if you lose that focus...

the desert will crush you.

They call Peterhansel
"Mr Dakar".

But even he can lose
everything in an instant.

Before the race,

I said if I win the
race, I will stop.

So it will be not
possible this year.

Again, we need to accept
the rules. Always.

If we have an accident during
this race, we need to accept it.

Do you go out tomorrow?

I leave tomorrow,
just to have a stop.

Peterhansel won six
times on a motorbike

and eight times in a car.

...to be with Eduard.

He's seen it all.

That's why they
call him "Mr Dakar".

And now he's going
home. It's all on me.

And tomorrow, we move
on to the marathon.

The marathon is a throwback
to the original Dakar.

We camp overnight
in the open desert.

Any maintenance, we
have to do alone.

No mechanics, no assistance.

We are by ourselves.

This how it used to be.

It's just us versus the desert.

-Thank you. Yeah.
-Yeah.

-Welcome.
-Hi, mate.

-Get it all sorted?
-Yeah, dude.

That heat is nice.

-You've changed.
-I know. I'm getting old.

-I don't know what's happening.
-Old and fragile.

We definitely didn't
need the tent.

Huh?

We definitely didn't
need the tent.

Are we allowed to sleep in here?

-I think so.
-It just says no tent.

What is this?

Oh, fuck. Kids these days.

-And one, you've got on icicle.
-Yeah.

It's too warm in here for Mason.

So he's going to change
it for everyone else.

So I'll let the big
kids do it, mate.

Yeah.

I'm so tired, and
sleeping in a tent

is the last thing I want to do.

But the marathon is meant to
be like the original Dakar.

The marathon is my
least favorite stage.

No camper, no team, no nothing.

I'll take it.

You just can't actually
see that it's the moon.

My hand's falling apart.

-A few blisters, mate?
-Yeah, this one's getting big.

I never get a blister here,
and this one is like ripping.

Do you see? That's
just old hands, mate.

-Your hands are built to last.
-A lot of miles.

A lot of miles and then
just... but a dicky thumb.

Yeah. Because of this,

you're like, when I
think of off-road...

-Yeah.
-...and KTM, it's like...

-My fault. I'll take the blame.
-You're the inspiration, right?

Your mum and dad, they like me,

but they dislike me cos now,
I'm costing 'em a lot of money

to bring you to these races, so.

Yeah, exactly.

It's like we're doing
the same thing, you know?

Yeah, a hundred percent.

Us older guys only have another
couple of good years left in us

with you guys
coming through, so.

I think sooner or later,

someone will pick you up
and get you onto a setup,

and then you'll be
good to go then, so.

I'll retire and then
you can take my seat

and, hopefully, I'll go to a
car and then we'll be good.

-And then next stop...
-And then next stop,

you'll want to try and take
my seat in the damn car.

Pretty cool getting a chance

to talk to you like that.

Hell, yeah. And I'll
be watching you on TV.

Cheering you on.

Today, I have to push.

I was third yesterday,

but I'm not even in
the top three overall.

Almost 4,000 kilometers left.

Nasser is ahead of
me by over an hour

and Loeb has won
the last two stages.

I need to make up
time. I need to focus.

There is still time
to make a change.

I need to put my head down
and just drive... fast.

No room for error.

I have a lot of eyes
on me. This is my shot.

This stage reminds
me of California,

where Lexy and I ride
rocks and canyons.

That's my jam. I'm
tied for second.

Skyler's first, but I'm
only 73 seconds behind him.

That's nothing.

At Dakar, that could
change in a heartbeat.

Oh, my God, it's so bad.

It's on fire.

I feel like I'm on fire.

This is bad.

This is really bad.

Mason, you know what's happened?

Yeah, I think I made a left

and Adrien Van Beveren
came in under me.

OK, because the mechanic
told the opposite story.

-Says I made a right?
-No.

That you was behind Adrien
and that you hit him.

Well, for sure I made
a left turn and...

Yeah, and he told you you
could not make it the braking.

That's what the
mechanic told me.

I think, I mean,
it's no one's fault

and everyone's fault, obviously.

Yeah, yeah.

But it would be good to know...

who hit who.

Yeah. Hey, Bart.

-How are we going?
-Pretty good.

Pretty good?

Considering everything, I guess.

They got you pretty good.

Yeah, the windshield
just covered in blood.

I'm not sure if
it's mine or his.

Yeah.

And then my wrist is,
like, getting huge.

Pretty much sucks.

It's pretty big and it's
pretty damn purple already.

Look after it a little bit.

We've got a long
way to go still.

That was bad today.

I think there was no
danger in the road.

But Carlos's car was destroyed.

Yeah, so bad.

That was a full
drop into a hole.

-Almost like ten meters.
-Yeah, that was a big hole.

-Victory is sweeter in adversity.
-True.

But here, it's not adversity.
It's the others being unlucky.

What, they're unlucky?
I'm the unlucky one!

For once it's not me who got screwed
over. So now I can't complain, right?

Do you want me to
remove your strips?

I love doing it.

-Easy.
-It's like waxing, too.

Ah, well, a gentle wax then.

The winner of today's T1 stage,

Sébastien Loeb and Fabien Lurquin
from team Bahrain Raid Extreme.

And that's it. Did
I push too hard?

It's ironic.

I was so worried about the
electric car, but it was me.

As the race goes on and
people get more exhausted,

the risk starts to increase.

And now we're headed
into the hardest part,

the empty quarter for
the second marathon.

It's an uninhabited
chunk of desert,

650,000 square kilometers.

No people, not even camels.

This is what it's all about.

Sand dunes as tall
as skyscrapers.

Sand and steel.

And again, we are alone.

Even though I haven't won

a single stage, I'm doing OK.

My times are good.
I'm number four.

For me, it's all
about consistency.

But I need to really shine
here. At least win a stage.

I have to get to top three.

I have to go full gas.

It's time to push.

I know I'm doing
well, top three.

I think I'm second, but
there's no reception here,

so I have no idea how I'm doing.

Body's tired, but I feel
good about everything.

This is luxury for us.

We don't normally
have a tent like this.

We should just be
out there on a...

Normally, you dig a trench

and you light two
fires beside you

-and that keeps you warm.
-Yeah.

This is, like, luxury.

Poor kid.

Maybe next year.

I'm 20 and I'm broken.

-Third.
-First.

-First?
-Yeah.

Carlos is out,

but Nasser is almost
two hours ahead of me.

And who's leading now?

-You T4 or T3?
-T3.

-T3?
-Yeah.

-You?
-Second.

First and second.

He has to really screw up.

-And Nasser doesn't do mistakes.
-I was moving yesterday.

It was fun cos I
started so far back.

And I was just bouncing
through people. It was so fun.

At one point, I had, like,
six Can-Ams following me.

I'd pass one and they'd just
go, huh, to come with me.

And then another
one and another one,

all the way to the finish,
I brought ten cars with me.

-Good.
-It was so fun.

He's cool here. He
doesn't need to stress.

Anybody that likes
dunes is psychotic.

Anybody that enjoys...

He knows he's got it again.

-...you are crazy.
-It's nice.

This isn't just a
friendly conversation.

Nasser is playing him.

-Yeah?
-No.

He knows where a threat

might come from in the future.

Apparently, I'm
fast in the dunes,

but I don't like the dunes.

You know Dakar next
year where we'll be?

-Here.
-Fifteen days in empty quarter.

I will cry.

You need to love
the dunes now.

The king of the Dakar.

-I retire now.
-No, no, no. Never.

You are the new generation, huh?

He even thinks he can
choose his successor.

I tried to find my ones.

Because you have...
this is yours?

Yes. This is mine.

-They don't find it?
-No. I don't have help.

You, how many hours
behind Nasser?

Two.

-But...
-It's Dakar.

That's what we say. It's
Dakar. Anything can happen.

But for now I'm third.

And this is not what
I came here for.

Yeah, but sleeping here's good.

It's better than
in a tent, I think.

We sleep here, not in the tent.

We're all friends
here, so it's all good.

We'll see when
they come knocking

and they wake up
the angry bears.

It's a really bad move.

I like that.

I think we need a few more days.

Yeah.

-Thank you.
-Welcome, welcome, welcome.

-Thank you.
-Good day. Come.

Come.

Actually, the big
one. Actually the...

You ready? How's the overall?

-Just go to the finish line.
-Yeah.

I'm doing well, but the
race is getting to everyone.

There's been tons
of serious injuries.

And now that we're headed
back through the real dunes,

I mean, definitely
getting nervous.

There's nothing like
this in California.

It's like jumping
off a skyscraper.

They say Nasser is
the king of the dunes.

I guess some people
call me the prince.

I'm just trying
to prove a point.

Someday I'll be racing Nasser.

And, well, I guess he
needs to know that.

-Mason, how are you?
-Done.

Done? You tired?

Yeah. I feel like...
I'm not tired.

My head just... it hurts
to hold it up, you know?

It's still from the crash
from a few days ago?

Yeah. Every dune, going down,

I feel like my
head won't go back.

-My head hurts.
-Yeah.

That's why you have
to come up slowly.

-It's OK?
-It hurts.

-You're dizzy?
-It's better now.

I clean my hands, OK?

Even though we play
for the victory,

are we happy with what
we've got right now?

I think a lot of work
needs to be done.

Nobody remembers who got second.

-Exactly.
-Yes.

You don't remember
the second guy.

No.

-You don't remember.
-Full gas!

-I know, I know. I know, I know.
-Don't say that.

But you're good
in the dunes now.

-Yeah. Now.
-Now, yeah.

She's the queen of the dunes.

-And you're the king.
-No.

You chase that two
minutes tomorrow.

-I will try.
-And I chase that one hour.

Not a long day?

That last 500 was a killer.

It never seemed to end.

-Hey, congratulations.
-Super.

-All those eggs this morning.
-Toby wins first.

This one will be good.

And after the 13th stage,

Toby Price has a 12-second lead

against challenger
Kevin Benavides.

Price can almost feel

Benavides's hot
breath on his neck.

Can Price win his third Dakar?

We'll find out
tomorrow on Stage 14.

Last day, one more stage.

We've driven 8,000 kilometers
and I'm 12 seconds ahead.

Sometimes I wonder
if it's a dream.

Congrats, congrats.

Yes!

Good job, mate, good job.

-A pleasure to ride with you.
-Excellent job, buddy.

Good job, mate.

-Way to go.
-What did you end up?

I was third. Now you're
third. So you beat me.

Cheers, mate. Thank you.

-Thanks for the job.
-Almost, brother. Almost.

You know what, bro?
Proud of yourself, buddy.

You did a fucking good one.

Ah, well.

It is what it is.

-Hey, Toby. Wunderbar!
-First, man.

Nice to have you one
piece. You still won.

-Thank you for your work.
-Congratulations, Toby.

-Good job, Toby.
-You're good, man.

-Cheers, mate.
-Yeah, boy, Toby! I know.

-Cheers, legend.
-Thank you.

Hola! Congratulations. Yeah.

-Nice job.
-She won the stage.

The stage? The stage?

We made it. We made it.

We made it. Finally, we made it.

-No.
-No.

-Hello?
-Hey, Mom.

Hello.

-What are you guys doing?
-Hi. How's it going?

-Good.
-What's the update?

Yeah, so we just got back from
the hospital a little bit ago.

Wanted to make sure I could
fly home safely with my brain.

My head hurts so bad it's crazy.

The main reason he didn't even
want to start this morning.

He got up twice, fell twice.

Like... balance, and then he
said, "I don't want to ride."

So then as we're
driving for five hours,

we're worried about it.

-But anyhow.
-Yeah?

We're back. Everything's good.

And I looked good.

I can't wait to see
the Alpinestars data

on your crashing.

Yeah, me too. I want it
to say I was going fast.

I want it to be like,
"OK, good thing he's done.

He earned it. He earned
the pull out of the race."

Now, ladies and
gents, stay tuned

as we start the video for
crowning the top finalists.

It would be nice to win.

No sleep two days.

Yeah, or I'm on or...

-Yeah. My congrats for the race.
-Thank you.

-Because you did very well.
-Yeah, congrats to you too.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

Even though I didn't
make it, I learned a lot.

Toby's trying to make
a change to racing T1.

He says it's time.

I hope I can take his place.

One day, Toby and Skyler

are going to see me up
there holding that trophy.

I'll make them proud.
