Tobias Ebster

“After an incredible year in 2024, with victory in the Original by Motul category, 20th place overall and the title of the rookie of the year, I kept up the pace by taking part in the Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge. Unfortunately, the race didn’t go as planned: I crashed on the fourth stage due to technical problems, which sidelined me for several weeks. Then I took part in the Hellas Rally, where I got injured again. These experiences made me review my program and intensify my training. I then took part in the Rallye du Maroc, which was a great success and excellent training, without any navigation mistake or crash. I’ve also added a mental preparation to my training, and recently came back from a week’s navigation training in the USA with a friend at the All American Rally Raid. For 2025, my goals are clear: I’m aiming for a podium in Rally 2 and a Top 15 overall. I love motocross, hiking and mountain biking, and I’m passionate about anything that involves sport. That said, with my busy schedule between racing and travelling, I no longer have time for other jobs, like delivering pizzas. My training now focuses mainly on motocross, which remains my favourite activity and an excellent complement to rally preparation. I’m extremely motivated and can’t wait to take the start of the Dakar 2025.”
