We interview Toby Price in-person during his pre-race training missions prior to the start of the 2023 Dakar Rally.
Toby Price needs little introduction to die-hard Dakar Rally fans. He's a two-time winner on the Red Bull Factory KTM Rally Team and is probably the only dude to win a Dakar Rally with a broken wrist. He's also just generally an absolute beast on a motorcycle with almost ten Dakar Rally events under his belt. He's had a few injury DNF's but otherwise he's only missed the podium one year when getting to the end. That year was 2022, so he's looking for redemption in 2023.
We infiltrated the Factory KTM California training and testing program and cornered Price in a Barstow, California hotel in-between 200-mile road book training days. We have a great chat with the Australian and cover his rally racing career, upcoming strategy for new Dakar rules, the Kurt Caselli factor in becoming the champion he is, and get down-and-dirty inside the KTM 450 Factory Rally bike development.
