This is the first year the rally was part of the FIM Rally-Raid World Championship. Sanders won a total of three special stage victories during the rally.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-6982\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Daniel-Sanders_2023-SonoraRally-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/>\r\n\r\nSanders had a seven-minute lead going into the final day of competition By the 35-kilometer mark, Sanders was out front doing what he does best, cruising to a victory. \u00a0It\u2019s great to get my first rally win. It feels like it\u2019s been a long time coming \u2013 obviously after a year off it\u2019s great to be back where I want to be. Dakar\u2019s the big one but getting wins in the world championship is also super important. I\u2019ve had some bad luck with speed penalties and things like that in some events, so to finally get a world championship win means a lot to me. Also, I feel like I\u2019ve ridden well this event, leading out on several days, and generally having a good run through the event. Yeah, after a year out and then getting sick at Dakar, it\u2019s all heading in the right direction. I\u2019m improving still, and thanks to the team who always give me a great bike I feel like things are really coming together now,\u201d said Sanders.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-6983\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/NassarAlAttiyah-Sonora-Rally-Win-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/>\r\n\r\nAlso coming away with a Sonora Rally win was Nassar Al-Attiyah in the modified cross-country car class. Racing for Toyota Gazoo Racing, Al-Attiyah picked up two stage wins and was consistent on the podium through the rally. \u201cFeeling good. I am happy to win the Sonora Rally. We have an amazing week and a good lead now. This was very important for the championship,\u201d said Al-Attiyah.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-6984\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/SonoraRally-Mitch-Guthrie-Jr-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/>\r\n\r\nIn the T3 class, Mitch Guthrie Jr and co-driver Kellon Walch grabbed a narrow victory.","excerpt":"<p>Red Bull GasGas Factory rider Daniel Sanders has won the overall victory at the 2023 Sonora Rally.
