Terry found dead

FRENCH motorcyclist Pascal Terry has been found dead while competing in the Dakar Rally.

The 49-year-old Terry was found dead overnight after the fourth stage of the gruelling race which is taking place for the first time in South America. He had been missing since Sunday and the second stage of the race between Santa Rosa and Puerto Madrid.

“The motorcyclist was found in an area that is very inaccessible with very dense vegetation 15 metres from his bike,” organisers said in a statement.
