The 21-year-old Spanish motorcycle racer has passed away.

Details: Today it was reported that 21-year-old Spanish rider Borja Gómez has died after a crash during a free practice session at the Magny-Cours circuit in France.

Borja lost control of his Honda motorcycle at high speed, failing to maintain his balance, which led to devastating consequences.

The third round of the European Championship was scheduled to take place at this circuit in three days, but now the event is under question.

The rider competed for the Laglisse team, which has already extended its condolences to Borja's family and paid tribute to his memory:

— With deep sorrow, we announce that Borja Gómez has passed away at the Magny-Cours circuit after a serious accident during the first session of free practice at the European Championship. Beyond his exceptional talent, we will remember Borja as a wonderful person, — reads the statement from Laglisse.
