Defending Dakar champions Al-Attiyah and Coma increase leads in Sealine Rally

SEALINE (Qatar): Qatar’s Nasser Saleh Al-Attiyah and Spain’s Marc Coma increased their leads in the car and motorcycle categories of the Sealine Cross-Country Rally, after the third 392.52km selective loop section through the Qatar desert on Wednesday. 

Marc Coma lost the virtual overall lead to Joan Barreda Bort during the day’s stage and then fought back to set the third quickest time and extend his overall advantage over new second-placed Jordi Viladoms to 10min 12sec. It was another impressive performance by the five-time Dakar winner and means that he can now manage his race strategy over the next two days.
