Mathias Bellino the story
The Spa Ventoux Provence, partner of great athletes!
Mathias Bellino, Enduro World Champion, is one of Spa Ventoux Provence’s partners.
We’re delighted to welcome him to our infra-structure!
An unambitious start, followed by a meteoric rise...
The story began with his motorcycle-loving parents, who decided to buy him one so that he could accompany them on their enduro rides. His mom took part in the Paris Dakar, won the women’s Enduro Touquet twice and became French women’s Enduro champion twice.
Enduro, a family passion!
First motorcycle at the age of 4, over the years the first races in the Provence league and at the age of 9, his father enrolled him in training courses to help him progress. In 2002, he improved his skills to become one of the top
riders in the Provence league. The following year, he
took part in the French Minivert championship, finishing runner-up.
IN 2004
At the age of 12, he took part in the French Cadet Championship for 14-16 year-olds, finishing in 4th place.
IN 2006
He joined the MD Racing team, where he made his racing debut in the 125 class, taking 4th place in the French junior championship. That same year, he decided to make his Supercross debut, with the SX Tour 125, where he finished a very fine 4th.
After splitting with the MD Racing team, he continued his 125cc adventure with his own outfit, finishing the French junior championship on the 3rd step of the podium.
IN 2008
He won the title of French Junior Champion and put in some fine performances in EMX2, which enabled him to join the official Yamaha® Gariboldi team for the European Championship the following season, riding a 250 4-stroke.
AT THE END OF THE 2009 SEASON
He had the honor of being selected by Olivier Robert to take part in the European Nations Cup alongside Christophe Charlier and Loïc Léonce. The latter had to retire twice due to mechanical breakdowns, which prevented him from
achieving the results he had hoped for.
IN 2010
MX1 World Championship with the KTM® HDI team on a 450cc machine, he finished runner-up in the French Elite MX1 championship.
IN 2011
The “Enduro” adventure as a factory rider at
Husaberg®, with participation in the French and Junior World Championships on a 450cc 4t, he finished runner-up in France and put in some fine performances in the World Championships, including a day’s victory in Romania.
Selected to take part in the ISDE in Finland, to
represent France in the junior category, alongside Benoit Fortunato, Romain Dumontier and Alexandre Queyreyre… He finished this magnificent event as winner, which is obviously a very happy memory!
2012
An identical program: same team, same bike and same championships, Mathias wins all 3 titles: World Champion, World Team Champion (with team-mates Queyreyre, Joly and Rohmer) and French Junior Champion.
THE 2013 SEASON (STILL WITH HUSABERG®), IS SYNONYMOUS WITH THE PASSAGE
IN E3 (300CC 2T /480CC 4T AND OVER)
He took part in the Spain/Portugal EWC tour, where he scored his first Elite podium with a second-place finish, followed by the
Romania/Greece tour, where he scored 4 podiums. This up-and-down season saw him finish 5th in the World Championship and runner-up in the French E3 championship. He was again selected to represent France at the ISDE in the junior category (with Loic Larrieu, Kevin Rohmer and Swan Servajean). They win the World Team Champion title for the 3rd year running!
2014
Team change: official Husqvarna® Factory Racing driver, new discipline: Super-Enduro.
2015
The consecration! He took part in the EWC in Chile, winning the first race of the season. His consistent results earned him the title of E3 World Champion at the
final, all in front of a great French crowd!
At the end of the season, he competed for the first time in the ISDE Elite category alongside Anthony Boissière, Loic Larrieu, Antoine Basset, Jérémy Joly and Marc Bourgeois, with whom he
won the event.
In short, Mathias Bellino is passionate about his sport and a World Enduro Champion.
