Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

Making the most of their day off in La Paz and enjoying some much-needed rest and recuperation, Yamalube #yamaha Official Rally Team duo of #adrienvanbeveren and Hélder Rodrigues, along with #yamaha France supported Xavier de Soultrait, are now geared up and ready for the second week of competition at the 2017 #dakar Rally. With Adrien and Xavier provisionally third and sixth overall respectively and Hélder just outside the top 10, all three riders will continue their battle to bring #yamaha even closer to the top during their second week of #racing in South America.

Reaching La Paz yesterday afternoon, team members had the chance to assess their progress so far and analyse their strategies for the second week that officially starts tomorrow. Important for more than one reason, the rest day in the capital of Bolivia also gave team mechanics the opportunity to thoroughly check the team's WR450F Rally machines and prepare them for another 4,000km of arduous #racing.

Enjoying a very positive first week of competition, #yamaha is about to enter the second part of this year's #dakar Rally with two of its riders inside the top six and with a third close to the provisional top 10 in the overall standings. Along with the trio of Van Beveren, Rodrigues and de Soultrait twelve more #yamaha riders will enter week two tomorrow and continue their battle to the finish line in Buenos Aires.

Confirming the brand's status as a dominant force in the Quad category, #yamaha riders continue to occupy the first four spots in the class' provisional standings. France's Simon Vitse is currently leading the overall standings, with Russia's Sergey Karyakin and Frenchman Axel Dutrie rounding out the provisional top three in the Quad class.

With the #dakar Rally officially resuming Monday morning, competitors will have to contest six more equally gruelling stages until they reach the finish in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on January 14. The second week of #racing at this year's #dakar Rally begins with the first part of the two-day-long marathon stage.

With competitors tomorrow heading to Uyuni team mechanics and crew will go directly to Salta, where they will meet up with the #yamaharacing trio at the end of the marathon stage on Tuesday afternoon. In tomorrow's bivouac in Uyuni riders won't be allowed to receive any external help as they prepare their bikes for the second part of the marathon stage on Tuesday.
