Peeters Rini, a Dutch motorcyclist missing for several days in the Tunisian desert after a sandstorm swept the Djerba 500 rally, was found dead, officials said in Paris.

The bodies of two other racers, Patrice Leclerc and Jean-Pierre Hubeaux, both of France, were found Thursday in the dunes near Zarzis, about 210 miles southeast of the Tunisian capital of Tunis.
