The return of the superchampion from Catalogna, Marc Coma. His oppenent had been thinking they could leave him behind and accumulate points for the world classification. But the winner of two Dakars, and of all African rallies (including the recent Rally of Tunisia 2007), decided to outstrip all the others. In small words, he ruled the show. He won the two Specials and the stage of Villanovaforru in the province of the Medio Campidano, thus leading the classification. And to those who ask him if  he's after the third vitory in a row, he answers with the usual prudence of the rally pilots.: "You win this kind of contest only when you cross the final line". As if to say that anything can still happen. Obviously also winning for the third time in a row.

Since the departure from Oristano under the statue of Eleonora d' Arborea, the Sardinian heroin who tried to hunt from Sardinia the Catalans and the Aragoneses, Coma's ancestors, the superchampion was the most rewarded and celebrated. And the party continued in Villanovaforru, the tourist locality of the Medio Campidano where the Rally arrived this year for the first time. And he did not disappoint those who celebrated him with so much love. He won and triumphed his on way. The way only great champions can.
