Technical Contributor: For members who share their technical expertise. - Issue reason: Trev has owned several boosted fords and has really contributed a lot of info on them. His posts in the bike section are also very helpful. I think he should be recognised as a technical contributor.

Toby Price writes his name in the Dakar history books with victory

What a legend, has to be seen to believe how fast he can ride. I've seen him ride the finke desert race a number of times now, simply mind blowing.

TP has done us all proud, but it won't get the media attention it deserves. His name will be better known overseas, but joe average Australia won't know what a true champion this guy is. 2013 in a neck brace from a near fatal crash, 2015 dakar debute 3rd place no sponsers on his gear. 2016 2nd attempt and has taking it out, I knew he was quicker then the other riders, but you need more then that to win dakar. Again well done Toby Price.
