Success at the 2016 Dakar has meant a whirlwind of media commitments for Toby Price. We’re glad to say the 28-year-old pro racer from Maitland, NSW, doesn’t seem to have changed much since we first spoke to him a decade or so ago. He’s still a down-to-earth, happy, genuine bloke with a love of bikes and who seems to be just as in awe of his achievements as we are. On a sunny Saturday morning we sat with the 2016 Dakar champion – and his trophy – for a catch-up yarn.
AdvR: Last time we spoke you’d just placed third in your first Dakar after starting on what was essentially a privateer’s bike. This year you rode as a full Red Bull KTM Rally Team rider. What was the bike like when you started the race this time?
TP: Joe Fahrner, my mechanic, had every-thing sorted. The KTM was pretty much perfect and I started with the best bike you could possibly get.
