Marc Coma with Red Bull KTM in Baja 500. Three-time Dakar Rally winner Marc Coma will ride a Red Bull KTM in the Baja 500 on June 2, according to a press release from his team.Coma, who is generally regarded as the best rally rider in the world, has competed in the Nevada 1000 but never in the Baja 500.

The race of the next 2nd of June, with almost 500 miles (724 Kilometers) - Baja 500 updates here - will be disputed in only one day by teams of 2 pilots taking turns at the controls of the same bike, in a route marked with arrows running along Baja California and without the need of a road book to follow up the race. Coma will play this test in the structure of KTM USA at the controls of a KTM 450 Enduro, similar to the one that he is going to use in the Raids World Championship test, in Sardinia. To become familiar with this test, the participants are allowed to train through the same road of the test during the previous days of the race. Coma will travel to Mexico with the illusion to debut in this legendary event.

o-tone Marc Coma:

“I always had the illusion to participate in this race. This is a not well know test in Europe, but this race is one of the most important races in the off road world, so i didn’t want to miss an opportunity like this. Find the complete post about Marc Comas Baja 500 adventure here... After many seasons running, I have the lust to do new things and now I feel I am in a great shape to do it. It is a different race format that we are used to, but we will take advantage of the prior days to train and get used to what we can find the day of the race”.
