The Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge has wrapped after five fast, sandy stages across the Empty Quarter of the Saudi Arabian Peninsula and the country of the United Arab Emirates.
After over 17 hours of racing nearly 2,000 kilometers, Monster Energy Honda Team's Adrian Van Beveren took the win by 4:18 over Husqvarna Factory Racing's Luciano Benavides and Red Bull KTM Factory Racing's Toby Price (5:13 out of the lead).
In this show we go through the overall rankings, stage-by-stage results, and provide unique insight into the race conditions, terrain, scale and competitors' efforts.
