In France, a 21-year-old motorcycle racer died in a crash during a race.
French motorcycle racer Raphael Cholet was involved in a serious accident during the national sand track racing championship, reports RMC Sport.
The 21-year-old athlete, attempting to make a jump during a motocross race, fell upon landing and was hit by another competitor. Cholet, who suffered serious injuries and suffered cardiac arrest, was taken to hospital in Bordeaux by helicopter but died several hours later.
The race was first suspended and then finally stopped and cancelled. The competition took place as part of the Moto-Gurp TT, and about 1,400 riders took part in the races.
