ZSaturday morning the tragic news came that Kurt Caselli had died in an accident in the Baja 1000 in California. According to the first reports Caselli had hit a 'booby trap' but later this turned out not to be true. According to the latest information he would have driven into an animal and had a bad fall. He was taken to the hospital with serious head injuries but there was no help for the 30-year-old rider.

Caselli became a multiple off-road/enduro champion in the states and started participating in the Dakar rally within a few weeks. Below is a video of Kurt a few weeks ago in preparation for the rally series… RIP Kurt…
