After bagging first position in the first stage of the Dakar Rally 2017, TVS Sherco's Joan Pedrero managed to maintain a position in the top 10 contenders in the second stage, finishing ninth.
The second stage was run between Resistancia-San Miguel de Tucuman (803 km with a 275 km special), when Aravind finished 127th out of 133 and Adrien Metge was at 123.
The third stage however saw a bit of a slip in the team's momentum. Aravind KP couldn't finish the run because of a shoulder injury, but Joan Pedrero was at position 16 out of 125 and Adrien Metge finished 30th.
Aravind already had an injury on his hand day one which he continued to ride along with, but Wednesday's injury put him straight out of contention.
