Van Beveren And Yamaha Finish Third In Dakar Rally's Penultimate Stage

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

Updated: Putting in a great fight today in the mountains of Argentina, #adrienvanbeveren claimed a strong third place result during the 2017 #dakar Rally's penultimate stage. Currently fourth in the rally's provisional overall standings, the Yamalube #yamaha Official Rally Team rider is determined to give his all to bring #yamaha on the rally's final podium.

Divided in two parts, today's 288-km-long special featured a mix of sandy dunes and open mountain roads. Opting to make the most of his vast sand riding experience, Van Beveren went on the attack from the start of the special. Going past the first checkpoint as the day's provisional leader, the WR450F Rally mounted rider made one small navigational mistake that saw him eventually wrap up today's stage with the third fastest outright time.

Following almost two weeks and more than 8,000km of #racing Van Beveren is highly motivated to take his battle for third to the finish. Currently placed 48 seconds behind the rider provisionally in third, the Frenchman knows that anything is possible during tomorrow's final stage to Buenos Aires.

In what's been a positive stage for the Yamalube #yamaha Official Rally Team, Adrien's teammate Hélder Rodrigues posted the 13th fastest time during the day's timed special to earn himself a spot inside the top 10 in the rally's provisional overall standings. With Hélder ninth in the overall with one stage remaining, both Yamalube #yamaha Official Rally Team riders look set to finish inside the 2017 #dakar Rally's top 10.

Stage 11 proved to be quite challenging for #yamaha France's Xavier de Soultrait. Enjoying a nearly faultless race so far, one that's twice seen the Frenchman claim top three stage results, Xavier suffered a mechanical issue right after the start of today's timed special, which made it almost impossible for him to continue. Reaching the start of the second part of today's special Xavier has been so far unable to go beyond WP4. It's a harsh blow for the Frenchman who spent half of the race holding on to sixth in the provisional overall standings before dropping to eighth after yesterday's stage 10.

Dominating today's timed special Russia's Sergey Karyakin was 20 minutes faster than any of his competitors in the Quad class. Holding on to an impressive lead of more than one hour in the provisional overall standings the Raptor 700R mounted rider looks set to claim the first #dakar Rally victory of his career tomorrow in Buenos Aires.

Despite including a short 64-km-long timed special tomorrow's final stage will be extremely crucial for the outcome of the 2017 #dakar Rally. Following two weeks and more than 8,000km of #racing, competitors will head south and towards Buenos Aires - the city that will also host the 2017 #dakar Rally's final podium ceremony.
