Jose Manuel Perez
Spanish motorcyclist Jose Manuel Perez died in a Spanish hospital on Monday after crashing last week.
"There were complications. It appears to have been an infection," said a spokesman for the race organisers. Perez had his kidney and spleen removed in the Senegalese capital Dakar, where the race ends, before being transferred back to intensive care in Alicante. The 41-year-old, who was married with two children, was competing in his fourth Dakar Rally. He is the 10th motorcyclist to die in the history of the gruelling race and the 44th competitor overall.
