You will remember Bike India’s Facebook post on the sad demise of KTM factory rider Hurt Caselli: We bring you unfortunate news of the demise of KTM factory rider Kurt Caselli while competing in the 2013 Baja1000 off-road race. Highly-regarded for his riding ability and also for his warm personality, his absence will be felt deeply in the racing community.

Paying tribute to him, KTM has put together a thoughtful video that remembers Kurt, as told by the people who knew him best at KTM. A beloved competitor, and rising star in the rally racing world, Kurt’s absence is felt by many, but during our time of mourning we also remember the light that he was as a person.

RIP #Champ.
