FIM Europe regrets to confirm that two riders lost their lives following an accident that occurred during Saturday’s programme of the Alpe Adria International Motorcycle Championship at Automotodrom Brno.
Despite the immediate intervention of the medical services, Philipp Steinmayr (Austria, 13 August 1993) passed away as a result of the injuries sustained in the incident. Adrian Rus (Romania, 11 August 1982) was transported to the hospital in critical condition, where he later succumbed to his injuries.
Following the accident, the organisers decided to cancel the entire remaining programme of the weekend. Consequently, the scheduled races of the Supersport 300 European Cup, Supersport 600 European Cup, Superstock 1000 European Cup and the Women’s European Championship will not take place.
FIM Europe, the Alpe Adria Motorcycle Union, AAcademy (Promoter) and Automotodrom Brno express their deepest condolences to the families, friends, teams and loved ones of Philipp Steinmayr and Adrian Rus.
Out of respect for the bereaved families, no further information will be released at this time.
