Jonah finishes 5th in Stage 3, moves up to 4th overall

Jonah had a great time today, finishing 5th.  He was stuck in the dust of the lead riders for a long time, but still did awesome.  He felt comfortable, never going too fast.  The PAI Rally Pan Am bike is working great.

Jonah said of today's stage "Basically I tried to get into navigation rhythm and work through the dust.  I did really good and didn't get lost.  Just had to slow down a few times to make sure I was going the right way.  It was kind of hard because I was behind some guys going slower, and I had to get past them.  But it was fun, I had a great time."

Casey finished in 59th today now stands in 42nd overall, and is getting the hang of the Dakar Rally quickly.  He says "other than the dust, it was a fun stage.  I enjoy riding that type of terrain...  but I got stuck in a freight train for 80 kilometers and couldn't do much about it..  Once it opened up I got by quite a few people..."
