Tour

The Dakar 2010 is back for the second time in Argentina and Chile, and Marc Coma, winner of last year, is a leading candidate to win the motorcycle. With the number 1 in front of his KTM 690 Rally, the pilot is facing this issue with caution and ambition that have always characterized the pilot of 33 years, but with the firm objective of fighting for what would be his third victory in the planet's toughest test.

After a season marked by uncertainty generated by a rule change, which limits the displacement of 450cc bikes, and the possible withdrawal of the factory KTM competition, Coma finally share back to riding a KTM 690 Rally, although with limited power.

With four stage wins and 6 hours and 22 minutes of penalty, Marc Coma has completed its eighth appearance in the Dakar in fifteenth place finish.

Penalties in the 2010 Dakar

Gone are more than 9,000 kilometers in 14 days of competition, almost 5,000 of them timed, in a race determined by a controversial penalty on the rest day that ended the aspirations of the Spanish. Marc Coma has shown a year probably be the fastest of any planet in the desert that you put in front, and overcoming problems, penalties and controversy, has closed a Dakar, true to his legend, has been again a tough and demanding.
