Motorex KTM Off Road Racing’s Toby Price claimed victory in the E3 class during the 2012 Australian Four-Day Enduro (A4DE) at Warragul in Victoria on 24-27 October.

The triple Australian Off-Road Champion was first in class and second Outright following four hard-fought days of competition, despite racing through the pain of broken ribs suffered earlier this month in Germany’s International Six-Day Enduro (ISDE).

Although he was unable to defend his Outright title, Price remains upbeat and happy to battle through pain on his way to the runner-up aboard the 500 EXC that he’s tasted so much success on in 2012.

“The four-day went pretty well, better than expected with my injuries, and it was a tough week as we expected,” Price commented. “The plan was to try and do the best I could considering the injuries, which is what I did.

“It was hard to get in a flow, painful in the ribs, but I got through it and overall it was a positive week despite my injuries.”

Ben Grabham and Ben Burrell, Price’s Motorex KTM off Road Racing teammates, finished up with solid fourth and fifth place finishes in the E2 and E1 classes respectively.
