KTM supported rider Marc Coma signaled his never say die spirit on Day Six of the 2010 Dakar by taking another stage victory and vaulting up to fourth in the overall standings. Coma's stage victory was also indicative of his superb navigational skills.
Second across the line in Stage Six was KTM's Cyril Despres, who, wishing to preserve his advantage in the overall standings, rode a steady tactical race. Despres now has an advantage of 42'15" at the end of challenging day where riders traveled inland from Antofagasta in a wide sweeping curve and down to finish with a steep ride in soft sand at the Iquique bivouac on the Chilean coastline.
Positive day for Marc Coma Coma, who on Wednesday said he would be taking the rest of the rally "one day at a time" sent a strong signal to the other riders that he is not done with the challenging terrain of Argentina and Chile just yet.
