Carles Falcon, rider in the Dakar Rally, dies after a crash

The Spanish rider had a serious accident during the second stage of the rally, a week ago.

He was flown to hospital with serious injuries but, on January 15, has tragically passed away.

“The medical team has confirmed neurological damage caused by cardiorespiratory arrest at the time of the accident are irreversible.

“We must remember him for his smile and for the happiness he generated in everyone.

“He was a computer engineer by training. Motorcycle instructor and motorcycle travel guide by passion.

“There are many who have learned at his side. He taught with patience, energy and happiness, he made everyone enjoy the bike.

“This is what he has left us and what we will always keep with us, all of us who have been close to him, family, friends, colleagues and fans.

“From the family and the team we ask, please, to keep the privacy of the acts of farewell that will take place in the coming days. Thank you for your understanding.”
