Hi guys!
We are looking forward to a new year, a new Rookies Season so for those who don't know me yet, I'd like to tell you something about me.
My name is Matteo Bertelle and I was born on February 18th, 2004 in Monselice. I'm a motorbike driver and my dream is to become one of the greatest riders in MotoGP.
I am driving since I was three and a half years old thanks to my father, and from that moment I never stopped. Since that day, my dad has remained one of the people who motivate me the most in my career.
I immediately started training and competing with the minibikes. It was during this time that I met Angelo, my "third grandfather", and his brother Giorgio. Even now, they still support me and help me to face most difficult situations.
Finally, in 2017 I won the CIV (Italian Speed Championship) in the Pre-Moto3 category. Still today this is one of my best memories. It is true that you will never forget the first victory!
I continued to train and compete, and finally on the last season I was able to have achieve new goals. First of all, I joined the SIC58 Squadra Corse, the Paolo Simoncelli team. For someone like me who has always been a big fan of Marco Simoncelli, this was really a dream.
But it didn't end there! I managed to participate in two major competitions: the CEV (the Spanish championship) and the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup through 2019.
I can't wait for the new season to start again.
I'll keep you posted.
Have fun,
