Marc Coma is ready for the Dakar 2012. Ready to win for the fourth time. The Catalan team presented at the headquarters of its main sponsor, MRW, in L’Hospitalet. They valued the next edition as the most similar to those performed in Africa. “It’s the African race more recent years, with a country, deserts to the end and a more linear path. It will be the most open race in recent years, where reliability and award will be decided at the end,” he analyzed.

The Barcelona believes that the inclusion of Peru more attractive raid. “It’s desert to the last day, with four new stages a marathon stage, which will be an important part and many dune, with the difficulties that have that. When we go to Peru is where you can make a difference because people come with many miles are accumulated and then decide the race. The Dakar is a race live, “he said.

Marc understands that his relationship with his great rival, Cyril Despres has improved, although it looks more opponents. “This year we are better between the two. Hopefully the rivalry stays on track. Not view a close race between the two, but more open, with five riders to finish. There is the mystery of Francisco Lopez after injury and Helder Rodriguez has had a great season with the world title and many choices, “he said.

As a ‘backpacker’ will back to Joan Pedrero, who is difficult to reissue its fifth in 2011. “It’s a big problem, because I think in the previous edition did very well. This year will cost improvement, but I’m proud. It’s a superb job,” he explained.
