“I quit.” Marc Coma announces he will retire from racing

On Marc Coma’s Facebook page we saw his last post, a shocking message: “I quit.“

“I quit. I believe that it’s the right time to do it. After 12 Dakar’s, 5 wins and 6 world championships, I have to be honest with myself and with all the people who have been supported me along those years. To my sponsors and specially KTM, where I’ve always felt at home, thank you. As a new sportive director of Dakar I will have the chance to give back all the energy that somehow the rally has given me. THANK YOU all for your support. Always ‪#‎ThrottleToTheDonkey‬!!”

What ZonaEnduro says about this decision, and we make a comparison between Hard Enduro and Rally Raid… imagine that in one day Graham Jarvis will do the same thing, and he will start to be the track manager for one race he chose… you will have a race managed by the best rider in the World! Same here, at Dakar. For sure the 2016 edition will be one hell of a race!
