RIP Kurt Caselli. Rider down in Baja

[dunefreak]

Man....what a sad day today. I can't believe this!

It's sounding like there was a man made boobie trap set up. Someone on TT said he hit it so hard it ripped his forks clean off. I really hope this is not the case. He deserved so much more than this. Either way he was an incredible rider and was on his way to becoming a legend.

reminds me back in 1995 of when Danny Hamel died down there in the 500 running into a vehicle while racing a motorcycle at race pace...

RIP

IMO booby traping or altering the course should be criminalized. But then again its almost law less down there

Sad indeed. RIP

Somewhat better news about Caselli. His fatal crash was NOT a result of a booby trap. That was just an internet rumor. It appears he hit a small animal before his crash. KTM's official statement: "The team, who have now recovered Kurt's bike discovered traces on the machine that indicate he had collided with some small animal, which apparently caused the crash."

So sad guy was an awesome guy to have met Nd chatted with, he was a true sportsman and a good all around guy

Had to share this awesome video in this thread as well. Kurt was so talented and best of all his attitude was perfect. He was very humble, didn't have a big ego like many riders, and just enjoyed riding. Like he said, "It's not about anybody else, it's purely up to you". RIP fellow orange rider.
