**Gev Teddy Sella** (Hebrew: גב טדי סלע) is an [Israeli](/source/Israel)-[South African](/source/South_Africa) motorcycle rider.

## Career

A native of [Netanya](/source/Netanya), he has been riding on a motorcycle since he was five years old. He has two younger brothers, Tsuk and Suff.[1] "The best thing I can do is to be on the bike. Whenever I can I do it. (…) Every time I can, I’m going on the bike", Sella stated during the 2017 Africa Eco Race.[2]

In July 2016, Sella came in second at the FIM Junior Cross-Country Rallies World Cup in Italy.[3] This was during the 9th Sardegna Rally Race, which he finished 14th overall and second in Junior class.[4] In August/September 2016, he raced at the Serres Rally in Greece, finishing in 19th place.[5]

Participating in his first rally-raid at the age of 17, Sella kicked off 2017 with a bang, taking home the overall victory in the bikes’ category at the [Africa Eco Race](/source/Africa_Eco_Race),[6] winning five stages and holding off two-time race winner [Pål Anders Ullevålseter](/source/P%C3%A5l_Anders_Ullev%C3%A5lseter) who finished second overall.[7] [Miri Regev](/source/Miri_Regev), the Israeli minister of culture and sports, congratulated him in a phone call: "You have brought honor and pride to the State of Israel. You made history", Regev said.[8] Sella was supported by his parents throughout the Africa Eco Race, with his father preparing the bike and his mother doing organisational work.[9]
