Hazaña histórica: Luciano Benavides ganó el Dakar por solo 2 segundos y escribió una página inédita para Argentina
El argentino Luciano Benavides hizo historia en Arabia Saudita al consagrarse campeón del Rally Dakar 2026 en motos por apenas 2 segundos, la diferencia más estrecha jamás registrada en la competencia. El piloto de KTM logró una remontada épica en los últimos kilómetros y superó al estadounidense Ricky Brabec, quien había iniciado la etapa decisiva con una ventaja de más de tres minutos.
Un error de navegación de Brabec abrió la puerta para que Benavides concretara una definición memorable. “Faltaban tres kilómetros y sentí que podía ganar”, relató el salteño, que corrió lesionado tras haber sufrido fracturas y roturas de ligamentos en los meses previos.
Con este triunfo, Luciano se suma a su hermano Kevin Benavides, bicampeón del Dakar, convirtiéndose en los únicos sudamericanos en alcanzar la gloria en la categoría reina. El logro también marca el 12° título argentino en la competencia desde 2010.
Benavides regresará al país para operarse la rodilla, pero ya avisó: intentará volver al Dakar 2027 para defender la corona en la carrera más exigente del mundo.
