The organisers of the famed Dakar raid held this year in South America said that motorcyclist Pascal Terry has been found dead at the Dakar rally on Wednesday.

The 49-year-old's Frenchman, competing in the rally for the first time, had been missing since Sunday's second stage and his body was found in a very remote area.

Terry becomes the 26th competitor to lose his life in the history of the Dakar rally.

According to Argentinean police, the Frenchman had removed his helmet and had food and water near him.
