KTM drops two-time Dakar winner Toby Price from factory programme
In a social media post on Tuesday, the 36-year-old Toby Price revealed that KTM chose not to renew his contract after his participation in the Dakar in January. Price expressed disappointment as he believes he is still in his prime and wishes for another shot at competing and winning, especially at Dakar 2025. Despite the contract conclusion, Price expressed gratitude for the support from KTM, acknowledging the successes achieved together, including two Dakar victories, podium finishes, a World Championship, and their joint accomplishments in Australia. The conclusion of the partnership with KTM marks the end of a nearly 15-year relationship, beginning in 2010 when KTM started supporting Price in Australian rally championships before he transitioned to Dakar. Price’s stellar Dakar debut in 2015, subsequent victories, and accomplishments have solidified his legacy in the rally raid world, leaving question marks about his future in two-wheeled competitions and potential shift to four-wheel racing endeavors.
