An Unforgettable Stage

Held in South America for the ninth consecutive year, the rally covered Paraguay, Argentina, Bolivia, and returned to Buenos Aires after 12 stages of intense competition. This year, a new category, the UTV, was introduced, adding even more spice to the already electrifying atmosphere.
Stage 3: A Battle of Grit and Determination
The third stage of the 2017 Dakar Rally spanned 282 miles, with a challenging 24-mile special section. The riders embarked on a journey from Asuncion to Resistencia, facing slippery terrains and a tropical climate. The initial winner of the stage was Xavier de Soultrait, piloting a Yamaha WR450F. However, his victory was short-lived as he was later penalized a minute for speeding during the link stage. This turn of events allowed Juan Pedrero of Portugal, representing Sherco TVS Rally Factory, to claim the overall stage-one win.
