SBS to Bring All the Best Action from 2024 Dakar Rally

The Dakar Rally returns to Saudi Arabia for the fifth consecutive edition in 2024 and SBS will again bring audiences all the best action exclusive and free from January 6-20.

Watch daily highlights from the 2024 edition of the Dakar Rally available earlier each morning via SBS On Demand , plus more motorsport.

The Dakar Rally is an annual rally raid organised by the Amaury Sport Organisation and is famous for its tough terrain and off-road endurance, where an expansive field must traverse sand, rocks, gravel, and tarmac as quick as possible.

Spanning 5,000 kilometres, the 2024 route will encompass a prologue and 12 competitive stages, taking drivers from Al-Ula and across the Empty Quarter before finishing in Yanbu.

Over half of the journey will feature new stages, according to race organisers, with the new 48-hour marathon expected to be the most challenging as competitors navigate 600 kilometres and an overnight stoppage.

Dakar Rally 2024 course sets new challenges for competitors

SBS viewers will witness motorcycles, cars, quads, and trucks take on the difficult conditions, where the battle between each discipline’s heavyweights will be all the more crucial given the race kicks off the first round of the 2024 World Rally-Raid Championship.

Australian Toby Price will compete in the Dakar Rally after signing an extension with Red Bull KTM Factory Racing, while defending champion Nasser Al-Attiyah will return in Prodrive colours after his contract with Toyota came to an end.

For Price, next year’s race will be his 10th time in the desert and the 36-year-old is determined to both make amends for last year’s narrow defeat and add to his two titles.

“I’ve been racing for KTM for 15 years now and for the factory since 2015, so it feels great to be able to race the biggest, toughest rally for them once again,” Price said.

“It’s been a long journey with the KTM brand and one that I think it’s fair to say has brought both sides heaps of success along the way. With this contract extension signed now, I’m really looking forward to focusing on the Dakar early next year and hopefully keeping KTM up front.”

Italian races bring an exciting new start to Classics season on SBS

Watch all the best cycling events in the world on SBS On Demand, with the Tour de France, Tour de France Femmes and much more.

SBS will bring a smorgasbord of one-day classics cycling to Australian audiences in the European spring starting with Strade Bianche men’s and women’s races and encompassing the monuments of Milan-Sanremo, Tour of Flanders, Paris-Roubaix and Liege-Bastogne-Liege.

The addition of Strade Bianche and Milan-Sanremo will mark the first time since 2016 that the races have been broadcast on SBS.

Milan-Sanremo is a monument with a rich history for Australians, with Matt Goss (2011) and Simon Gerrans (2012) both winning the race and Stuart O’Grady (2004), Allan Davis (2007), Michael Matthews (2015, 2020) and Caleb Ewan (2018, 2021) all finishing on the podium.

The race is regarded as the monument for the sprinters, though the course has lent itself to late breakaways in recent years, with lone riders triumphing in the last three editions.

The race still attracts the cream of the top crop of sprinters, and will do so again in 2024, with Jasper Philipsen, Caleb Ewan, Biniam Girmay, Mads Pedersen and Arnaud De Lie all on the provisional start list.

Strade Bianche, referred to as the ‘unofficial sixth monument’, is a dynamic race with growing prestige within the cycling world, with the white roads of Tuscany for which the race is named giving a distinctive character to the event.

Men’s and Women’s winners generally come from the classics specialists and climbers, with climbers like Megan Guarnier and Tadej Pogacar, and classics riders like Chantal van den Broeck-Blaak and Fabian Cancellara all winning and demonstrating the difference in potential victors in Siena.

SBS will continue to show the pick of the action from the cobbled classics and the Ardennes as well, with the Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix the jewels of the cobbled races in Belgium and northern France respectively. Then the racing switches to the Ardennes, with Amstel Gold Race, Fleche Wallonne and Liege-Bastogne-Liege all captivating events with some of the best-known set pieces in cycling.

The classics season ends with men’s teams at Eschborn-Frankfurt, the German classic, or ‘Radklassiker’, an underrated event that saw a fascinating finish last season with a long-range attack holding off the sprinters’ teams in the peloton, seeing Soren Kragh Andersen take the victory.

This partnership with SBS highlights the continued growth of the league in Australia and our promise to deliver great sporting moments to Australians. We can’t wait to race in front of a home crowd in Sydney, as we continue our hunt to secure a four-peat championship victory for Australia.”

SBS Director of Sport, Ken Shipp said: “We’re thrilled to be broadcasting the KPMG Australia Sail Grand Prix I Sydney live and free-to-air for Australians on the SBS network and SBS On Demand.

The live free-to-air broadcast partnership with SBS for the Australia event and highlights programs is in addition to SailGP’s ongoing partnership with Fox Sports. All Season 4 SailGP events and SailGP’s behind-the-scenes docuseries Racing on the Edge will continue to be broadcast live across Fox Sports and Kayo Freebies.

The KPMG Australia Sail Grand Prix I Sydney will take place on 24-25 of February, with thousands of Australian fans expected to descend on Sydney Harbour to witness the Australia team compete against nine rival nations.
