Crazy to see this video from 2016 and see him in college and parents saying, we wished he would have gotten a ride, but that's okay he didnt, and now he is going to get a real job and have a career...fast forward, now seeing him score top 10s and having a ride and likely a factory ride soon if he keeps it up!

He is the new Weston Peick.

Great to see him do well, through hard work and sticking at it.

He is really cool and gives a great image for the sport. Being able to do at least a A level, here college, THEN racing, this is great role model for the kids and for the parents that are logically always worried to go all in.

Seb Tortelli did the most competitive A level in france while winning his first world title. It changed the way most youngsters and parents saw racing, and look, France has produced then even better talents.

I am really hoping he gets a factory ride, or that the exposure he brings to the team will help him and them to get more funding.

Had the pleasure of seeing him ride/race in the DMV area growing up. Was awesome seeing him kickass at Budds this weekend, that charge second moto from last place was next level!

i didn't even know his name last year, so to see him come up the way he did is impressive and inspiring to many.

super stoked on the dude, hope he can put it up there the rest of the year. also impressive what Michael and the team have done this season.

Why would he do that? Make less money and be at a worse advantage equipment wise. I imagine if he got signed to a factory team he would be on a 250 though.

That's what I had heard too. Of course, it wasn't from any source other than Vital lol

I also got to watch Coty ride and grow up over the years at snake Creek mx. Smart, motivated, and super nice to everyone in the pits.

More recently than Tortelli in the 90s, Maxime Renaux (current MX2 world championship leader) did that too, I believe...

I really recommend watching the whole series of videos --- I believe there are 6 parts. Great guy, and very interesting story. Really glad to see him doing well, and getting 2 straight, top ten weekends.

Going off that video alone from the small peak of his mom she would have really hindered his progress in the thing he loves, my mother never said such things like "be a regular person".

That's going off the one video though I could be wrong.

True. Geerts as well. More emphasis could be made during the broadcast regarding some riders' education for the kids (and parents), including manual education as this field is usually in tension and pays better and better. Even those who are priviledged (or made it) need some skills to run the family business or anything afterwards. I wish there was something like an entry class that requires an education, and let us dream, some universities competing and promoting themselves in it (i.e. UCLA, Caltech, Uni of Florida, Indianapolis, Texas, etc). Actually these unis are so rich in the US that it may be another field to chase after the CBD trend.

I announced a LL’s Regional at Dublin Gap in 2012 I think & the kid was HAULING on an 85 / Supermini 1st time I saw him. He looked faster in person then Webb did on his Superminis. I thought 4 sure he’d get a ride.
