AP - Joan Roma of Spain won the third stage of the Dakar Rally while Krzysztof Holowczyc of Poland led overall on Tuesday.

Frenchman Cyril Despres won the motorcycle stage to claimed first place overall.

Compatriot Sebastien Coue was in critical condition after crashing during the second stage.

Coue was found in sand dunes in western Argentina, and hospital officials said it was not clear how long he had been unconscious and exposed to temperatures above 40 degrees C (104 F).

The Dakar Rally, considered one of the most dangerous in motor sports, has already claimed three lives this year. Argentine bike rider Jorge Martinez Boero died in a crash in Sunday’s first stage.

On the same day, the pilot of an ultralight plane and his son died when the aircraft went down while following the race
