Personal History
My name is Sean Botelho. I started racing motocross in the fall of 2011 on a 2006 CRF450R tht my dad and stepmom bought for me the christmas the previous year. I really didnt have any support from family when I started racing which was really hard for me. I slowly began to get better an better moving my way up in the beginning classes in Northern Nevada. I had to take a few years off from racing from 2012 to 2015 do to military service but i never lost the itch. The fall of 2015 marked a new beginning for myself as I bumped myself to the junior class and pushed myself to make it to Mammoth. And i did just that. I did it with the support of a brand new team Testa Motorsports out of Gardnerville NV a local shop that gives everything they can to help local kids race and ride.
Riding Goals
My goals for the 2016 Fall season are to go to MotoPro Triple Crown and place in the top Ten at each race. to further push myself to get better in the 450 C class and help with the overall standing for Team Testa Motorsports. During the local series in Northern Nevada is to place within the top 5 along side my teammates in the 450 Junior class and show them that I have what it takes to be up with them. This is all in towards pushing myself to go to 2017 Mammoth National and get a bear.
