he has become legendary not only for his<br />
thrilling riding, but for his endurance and<br />
pain tolerance, winning Australia’s Finke<br />
Desert Race while riding with a broken foot<br />

Behind Price, Slovakia’s Stefan Svitko<br />
bagged an incredible second place in Dakar<br />
2016. His army of fans will be looking for the<br />

rider from South America to win the bike<br />
class, and if his Rockstar Husky and race<br />

Van Beveren and Rodrigues on flying form<br />
but many more to consider too; Red Bull<br />
Factory KTM’s Matthias Walkner and Sam
