As shown by the Dakar account on Twitter, some riders experienced moments of extreme difficulty. For example, a Side by Side (light vehicle) was seen crossing a river formed with half the vehicle in the water. Even Cristina Gutiérrez was stranded with a tire on the bank of that river. Trucks raise water in their path with great force. But most of all, it’s funny to see ‘Chaleco’ López having to get out of his car and try to advance on foot, struggling with great difficulty against the force of the water to stay upright as his body moves from side to side one more. . The rain made stage 3 a nightmare for many of the drivers. All this, after the immense hardness of a stage 2 full of rocks, stones and dirt roads.
