Ivan Tedesco's Bio

Growing up in Albuquerque gave Ivan Tedesco ample opportunity to ride in the desert. His was a gradual transition into the world of professional racing-one that included working his way from an amateur all the way to the top.

When he went pro in 2000, he turned a lot of heads, eventually winning back-to-back AMA Supercross West titles in 2004 and 2005, plus the 2005 125 National Motocross Championship. In 2005 and 2006, Tedesco was one of the Team USA champs at the Motocross of Nations. He carded fifth overall in the 2007 AMA/FIM Supercross Series, but injury hampered him in the outdoor series.

Riding with Red Bull Honda Racing in 2008, Tedesco healed and was ready to go. But early in the season, he sustained a broken hand and a torn ankle ligament that sidelined him for much of the indoor and outdoor series.

"I ended up getting hurt at the fifth round at Anaheim, and that snowballed my season the wrong way" said Tedesco.
