Rossi then visited ‘PT.Alfa Scorpii', Indonesia's second largest Yamaha Main Dealer, for the opening ceremony of its new show room along with over 400 customers and media.

Dakar 2010: A triumph for Cyril Despres and KTM

KTM-supported rider French-born Cyril Despres on Saturday sealed victory in the 2010 Dakar Rally after 9000 km across Argentina and Chile. He rode in triumph into Buenos Aires to complete his third Dakar victory and the ninth consecutive victory for KTM, the Austrian-made sports motorcycles.

Despres, who completed the final stage,  a total ride of 707 km with a timed special of 206 km of fast track riding to finish the stage in a comfortable eighth place. He was five minutes 05 seconds behind the winner of the day, rather fittingly, his KTM support rider Rubin Faria of Portugal. Despres, who also won in 2005 and 2007 when the rally was staged across Africa, was one hour 02’ 52” minutes in front after completing the immense distance and endless challenging terrain, including four stages in Chile’s Atacama Desert.

Day 15 Dakar 2010: Three-way line honors for KTM in penultimate Stage 13

Norwegian rider Pal Ullevalseter stole the glory on the penultimate stage of the 2010 Dakar on Friday ahead of overall leader Cyril Despres and his fellow KTM supported rider Marc Coma.

Ullevalseter’s line honors allowed him to edge forward ahead of Chilean Francesco Lopez in the overall standings. He is now second overall with a slim four minute advantage over the Chilean rider. While the battle for the minor places continues to intensify as the rally heads for the Argentinean capital on Saturday, the French-born Despres still has a handsome lead of one hour four minutes and 12 seconds, even if the silverware is not in his hands just yet.

Day 14 Dakar 2010: Despres still in overall lead; Coma now winner of Stage 11

KTM-supported rider Cyril Despres on Thursday finished the longest ride of the Dakar 2010 in eighth position at the close of Stage 12, trimming his substantial overall lead by just over 17 minutes on a day that favored the smaller 450 cc machines and demanded absolute concentration for nearly 800 km.

In order to preserve his position at the front of the pack and so close to the end of the rally, it was the French-born rider’s task to ride a steady, but solid race and arrive in San Rafael in good shape.

Day 13 Dakar 2010: Goodbye Chile, hello Argentina. Despres retains overall lead

KTM’s Cyril Despres put in a solid day’s ride across the Andes to San Juan on Wednesday to retain the overall lead by 1 hour 20’54” as the Dakar “caravan” 2010 returned to Argentina. Despres was seventh in the 11th stage but only 4’21” behind the stage leader Frans Verhoeven.

Despres said it had been a nice stage and confirmed he is having too much fun to hold back for the sake of caution. “It was strange at the beginning, because after 13 km, there was a banner stopping us following a track,” he said after the day’s ride. ”I went straight ahead for about 80 meters but I turned around after I saw Marc Coma coming back in the other direction followed by other riders. After that, we carried on as a group. I rather enjoyed myself. It was quick today, 220 km in a flash. Was I being extremely careful? No. When I climb on the bike, I just can’t hold myself back. I just want to have fun”.
