Dakar 2025: Tobias Ebster shines with strong performance on stage 4!

In the first week of the Dakar Rally 2025 in Saudi Arabia, the Austrian talent Tobias Ebster again caused a sensation. After a strong appearance on the fourth stage, where he crossed the finish line as the sixth, Ebster also impressively fought on the sixth stage and ended them in the twelfth place with a deficit of only 8:15 minutes onto the stage winner. As reported by tirol.orf.at , the 27-year-old shows that he is full of the world in the toughest rally in the world. Ebster, who received an award from the enduro classic last year, made a name for himself this year in the Rally2 rating by leaving the competition behind.

The tailwind for Ebster came not only from impressive placements, but also from developments in the overall ranking. The leader of the motorcycle classification, Daniel Sanders, who was able to win again on the fourth stage, expanded his lead to 13 minutes, like Speedweek.com . But the competition does not sleep: Tosha Sharina from Spain also pushes to the top and is in a strong shape. Sanders, who started as the 17th, was able to keep up at the pace of the front starter and thus secured the third victory in this year.

The rally does not remain without difficulty. On the sixth stage, technical problems and difficulties of navigation of the participants were a central topic, which also spanned the competition. Ebster, but also other drivers, had to master many challenges during the stages to stay in the overall ranking where they are. The winner of the Rally2 classification reserves more time for repairs, which gives it a strategic advantage, while the participants of the rallygp only have short breaks.
