Baja 1000

Thats ridiculous.

I can't hardly believe Kurt Casseli is gone. RIP a fellow dirt rider down.

Sad news for a talented american rider.


From Mexico new wire:(translated)

Ensenada, B.C. - The Californian rider Kurt Caselli died this afternoon during the 46th SCORE Baja 1000, this after suffering a head impact when was stalking the race leader, Colton Udal. Caselli, 30 years old, was part of the team with his fellow KTM, Elena Santos Junior, Kendall Norman and Mike Brown, participated in Class 22 motorcycle aboard 2x. Precisely the American had started on Thursday ahead within the competition, this after winning the first qualification of motorcycles in the history of SCORE International and Lows, in what is a story that fills in mourning the Off-Road or off-road . This year, Kurt debuted at Dakar Rally as a replacement Spanish Marc Coma after injuring the latter and managed to win several stages, ending at position 31 in general. Currently Caselli was second in the championship of the 22 and was a favorite to win the 1000 miles, after finishing second in the Baja 500 and San Felipe 250


Nice vid salty. It was exciting having a competitive american back in the Dakar and ISDE. Sucks for sure.

RIP Kurt.
one of his life goals was winning the Baja 1000. He was definitely the fastest man out there yesterday and had the lead by 20 min when he went down. Thats a win in my book. Dakar isn't going to be the same with out him this year. A dark day in off road racing.
