D
ante and Mateo Oliveira are teammates
on the FMF KTM Factory Off-Road Rac-
ing Team, and being brothers, they train
and practice together during the week most of
the time. Therefore, Dante can readily gauge
his younger brother's improvements as Mateo
continues to adjust to life on a 450.
And judging by the results of the 40th annual
Gold Rush Grand Prix hosted by the Prospectors
Motorcycle Club, Mateo is one of the few who
can give Dante a run for his money as Dante
seeks a sixth-consecutive title in the Rocky
Mountain ATV/MC AMA National Grand Prix
Championship (NGPC) Series, Presented by FMF.

Dante Oliveira (1) and
Mateo Oliveira (831) weren't
much farther apart than
this throughout the Gold
Rush GP. Dante edged out
Mateo for the win; Tyler
Lynn (24) was third.
