⚔️ We fought we battled and we won ⚔️
The World desert championship was not only challenging but demanding! I put every little piece of dedication blood sweat and tears to this, and no one was or will ever take that away from me, many tried but failed, determination and obsession is something i persevere not only for this sport but in life. I can’t thank my sponsors and teammates enough for this without my team I couldn’t be able to pull this off. Remember I’m just 20😂 if you can dream it if you can see it, it will happen! There will always be haters, and people who will want to see you fail. So keep your head up and push thru embrace the suck and this is Baja baby ❤️ forever I will always have these memories within me not only in pictures but in my head! I love my whole team and I can officially say we are 2 time world desert champs in 2 different classes and we will go for more 🫡 100x out ⚔️🇲🇽🏆

Appreciate all sponsors and most importantly @mitchguthrie5 for not only trusting in me with this decision but with his name. Glad we made it to the finish line and now time for the @guthrieracing team to go for the win this Baja 500! Thanks to @geovanyrodrigz for providing his Pro R and racing along side me this race! And @luis.huertadv as our navigator and head mechanic

Hijole como les explico.
El gorditocaemebien les juro es una de las personas mas chambeadoras que conozco, muchosdiran miles de cosas pero al chile no saben lo duro que trabaja este cabron.
Es un ejemplo el wey, a veces me saca el tapon pero neta este cabron se propone algo y va y le atora hasta que lo logra.
Felicidades cabron. Me dio un chingo de gusto verte terminar tu primer SF250 en la categoria pro utv open.
Armando Ortiz keeps building his story in Baja.
From winning the Sportsman Moto championship, to stepping up into Pro Moto Limited, and now answering the call in the UTV ranks, he continues to evolve as a racer. Serving as the alternate driver for Mitch Guthrie and to help secure a strong starting position for the next BFGoodrich SCORE Baja 500, Armando faced one of the toughest challenges possible for a debut in the PRO UTV OPEN Class.
San Felipe. Last-minute call. No room for error.
Still, he made it to the finish line.
That’s a wrap on Dakar 2026!
