2005 6th place outright
DAKAR competitor and 4 time Australian safari winner
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sadly, Andy passed away while competing in the 2006
DAKAR. Winner of Stage 3, he was currently in 6th place
when tragedy struck. During the 9th stage in Mauritania,
Andy crashed fatally at the 250km point.
Our hearts go out to Tracey, Caitlin and baby Caldecott.
Also to the whole town of Keith who helped Andy
enormously, to achieve his dream of racing to DAKAR
Andy will be sorely missed.
Rest In Peace mate.

2003 AUSTRALIAN SAFARI (AUG 23 - 31, 2003)
MOTO DIVISION WINNER: Andy Caldecott (KTM) won his 4th
consecutive Australian Safari
AUTO DIVISION WINNER: John Hederics, Nissan Patrol
Andy Caldecott (KTM) won his 4th consecutive Australian
Safari. After a disasterous start on Day 1 when he lost
20 minutes, he overtook Paul Sinderberry for overall
lead after Day 6.
CALDECOTT: " .. It was really tight going this morning
around Bathurst, and around the back of the hill the
wind was really strong. It blew me and the bike off line
at one stage which sent us off the track, and down a
sheer drop over the side of a ridge. I lost a little
time getting myself and KTM out of that predicament but
eventually got going again and was able to hold it
together for the run to the line. It just goes to show
how strong these KTM machines are, my 660 has really
taken a heavy battering this week .."
