Description

Australia's Toby Price was the first from his country to win Dakar when he won the 2016 event in only his second attempt. The way he attacks the Dakar Rally, and any challenge on a bike, really, is impressive to say the least. In fact, after barely learning how to navigate, he finished third in his first-ever attempt in 2015.Since he began, he's only not finished on the podium once in 2017 and that was due to a broken femur--likely the only thing that will keep him from being in contention. Need another sign of his speed and toughness? How about his Dakar win in 2019 with a broken wrist injury sustained before the race even started!? And the list goes on, from a massive winning record at Australias Finke Rally, Baja 1000 finishes on a bike and in a truck, and the list just keeps going.If there's one man everyone has at the top of their win list, it's probably Toby Price. But 2020 hasn't been all wins for Price. A COVID-influenced lockdown of his home country and associated self-exile has had him away from friends and family for nearly six months as he's prepped and trained for, essentially this single event. Enjoy this interview with Toby Price as we count down the days to the start of the 2021 Dakar Rally and stay tuned for more!
