The Andalusian lion was born in Conil de la Frontera, a coastal town in the province of Cádiz, Spain. In 2012, Marcos grabbed his first pole in his first race in the Red Bull Rookies cup at fourteen years of age. He moved to the Moto3 Junior class in 2014 before joining the big guys a few years later.

Marcos’ best season was 2019 where he racked up a total of four podiums and a third place in the overall standings. After nine Moto2 races in 2023 and no top ten finish, Marcos moved to the American Racing Team where he racked up points regularly and even grabbed his first Moto2 podium.

BO BENDSNEYDER

NED

Born in the Dutch harbour-capital of Rotterdam on 4th March 1999, Bo joined us in 2020 after two years in Moto3 and just as many years in Moto2. Whilst riding for NTS in Moto2 that year, his best result was an 8th place finish in Valencia.

In 2021 he joined the Pertamina Mandalika SAG Team, for which he’s still riding today. His first year was decent but especially 2022 deserves mention as Bo managed to score points in every weekend except Qatar, Germany, and Thailand. Bo secured his first Moto2 podium finish in America at the start of 2023 and is set on increasing that number in 2024.

MATTEO BERTELLE

ITA

Born at the start of 2004 in Monselice, Italy, Matteo spent the majority of his career racing in the CIV Italian series. A few seasons he spent in the Spanish CEV before competing in the Red Bull Rookies cup for three years.

In 2022, Matteo made his debut in Moto3. Due to an injury incurred during a crash at the Sachsenring and the surgery that was needed, it became a shortened season. After moving to the Rivacold Snipers team in 2023, Matteo continued his development and noted his first top 10 finishes. 2024 will be all about securing that first podium finish for the talented rider.
