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 12 Dakar 2010: third stage victory for Coma; Despres leads by 1:22.49’

KTM supported rider Marc Coma scored his third stage victory in the Dakar 2010 as riders went from La Serena to the Chilean capital of Santiago for Stage 10 as the Spaniard strengthened his determination make the best of the rest of the rally. KTM’s Cyril Despres still leads overall.

Although Coma has virtually no chance of making up the distance separating him from leader, arch rival and fellow KTM rider Despres, his will to win has not diminished. He was beset with problems during the first half of the race that put him behind in the overall ranking. Coma, who won here last year, has now taken line honors in Stages Four, Six and Ten. He has made inroads into improving his overall position but is still ranked sixteenth.
