Program, times and TV of the day

Good morning friends of OA Sport and welcome to the LIVE LIVE of the second stage of the Dakar 2024. We are getting ever closer to the heart of the 46th edition and after the initial prologue on Friday, and the first actual stage held yesterday, today the convoy will be engaged in a truly important day with a stage to be experienced.

The “hardest race in the world”, in fact, will be on stage in the highly anticipated Al Henakiyah-Al Duwadimi which will offer a total length of 654 kilometres, with 463 of these being special stages. In short, it promises to be a grueling day for the protagonists of the race who will get to know the desert and dunes of Saudi Arabia.

In reality, especially in the first part of today’s stage, the asphalt will be the protagonist, with a large section of real roads, before entering the most complicated part, where the difference will be made in terms of time trial and gaps.

Today’s stage will start at. OA Sport offers you the written LIVE LIVE of the day, so you don’t miss even a second of the Dakar 2024 spectacle. Have fun!
