As a relative newcomer to offroading; im afraid i cant profess to be a life-long fan of the rider, the man, and what he stood for.....
But he seems one of lifes good guys and clearly had alot of fans Worldwide. And loosing a 'good guy' is always a huge loss to the World, and clearly the sport itself.
Not sure if any of you were following the Dakar but when Coma crossed the finish line at the end he let everyone see he had a kc66 sticker on his bike. Was a nice gesture
