🇻🇪 Early Beginnings & Journey to the U.S.
Born July 12, 1995, in Caracas/Los Teques, Venezuela, Anthony attracted to bikes early thanks to his dad, an enduro and GP racer. He began riding at age 4 and went on to win the coveted Loretta Lynn’s Amateur Championship in 2012 (250 B class)
At 13, Anthony made the brave move to the U.S., enrolling at the Millsaps Training Facility. He overcame language barriers—learning English under fire—and cultural adjustments that included handling laundry and cooking

🏁 Turning Pro & Early AMA Career (2014–2016)
Anthony turned pro in 2014 with Star Racing Yamaha, debuting at AT&T Stadium in Dallas. Though he crashed and DNF’d early, he impressed by running in the top 3 in heats.
In 2015, he rebounded to finish 6th overall in the 250 East Supercross series, with multiple top-10 moto finishes. A crash in 2014 left him with a broken collarbone, and further crashes in ’15 sidelined him temporarily, but he returned to score a 7th overall in Indianapolis aboard Trader’s Kawasaki in 2016 

🌍 International & MXGP Experience (2017–2019)
Anthony ventured globally, competing in the MX2 class of the FIM MXGP World Championship in 2017–2018, earning a best GP finish of 6th and solid mid-pack rankings .
He represented Venezuela twice at the Motocross of Nations, finishing 9th in the MX2 class in 2018

🌟 Beyond the Track

Quote: Through out my Carrer I’ve gotten injured a lot more than I would like to admit, some of the injuries that still bother me from time to time would be my knees and shoulders… I’ve had surgeries and a variety of different treatments to try and be as competitive as I can be, with that being said one of the things that I apply on the regular basis is the Wellness Blvd’s Revv Therapy CBD roll on and it’s benefits were quite surprising to me. After every day of racing my left knee likes to complain by swelling up and hurting a bit so I apply Revv Therapy CBD right after racing and the recovery time is significantly quicker and also the pain goes away instantly!!
