At 39, the Rallye Team Manager of the Red Bull/KTM Factory racing team has 10 Dakars to his credit as a rider and a wealth of racing experience. Adventure Rider Magazine sat with the mildly spoken Spaniard to find out a little more about the man Toby Price singled out as his mentor.
JV: First of all I need to say thanks to Toby, because he never said this directly to me. It’s nice to hear. He was one of the guys that, from the beginning, came to my place in Spain. We were practicing the navigation and everything. And I had the feeling I put something of myself into his thinking. It’s good to know he felt it, too.
