Such a genuine guy!! So sorry to read about this! He was tight with the M.O.D crew and i know he will be dearly missed...
Tragically went last week one of the best and most popular young racers of his time, Horst Kaudela Jr., of us. It's hard to put into words what many of us feel now, but we want a few lines here writing about him ...
Horst was from beginning to end of his career always the golden boy in the paddock where the was with his optimistic attitude to life every infected near him. This photo above was created in 2003 in Hochneukirchen. Horsti promised us all the holeshot in the juniors to get OEM running and his father Billy told him 50, - Euro to if he could do this. After he had managed Horst picked up the bill out of the hands of the father and I happened to be with the camera.
Horsti time was insanely proud to have made his promise with the holeshot true in the kind of "'I Did not say it to you ...". Probably never had a father so much pressed a bill his son man's hands as it was then Billy did according to the obtained holeshot. I've probably shot over the OEM reporting on supercross.at tens of thousands, even more than 100,000 photographs contained in MX OEMs. This photo was me but also many years later as one of the most impressive in living memory. It shows a father-son relationship which I have rarely experienced in this form of racing. A photo that one time represented a relationship between a father and his son as they better all over the world could not have been.
But there was also another situation in a race which also remained very strong in my memory. Horsti had back then, I think it was a MX2 OEM run on the target table in Hochneukirchen a tremendous crash. His motorcycle was then severely damaged his exhaust was almost across the rear tire. He himself remained completely unharmed and when he went off the track he waved a friend in the kind of "Look, everything is gone, but I am quite. ... When actually begins the second round of ?!"
Horsti appeared at that time simply indestructible, neither physical nature nor in its optimistic life-style. He was someone in which you always like looking over the paddock. The few sentences brought a smile and laughter and with whom you like talking to. But then sat up the helmet and just as carefree and successful race went as he lived. Whether he was top of the podium or drove with a destroyed motorcycle after a fall off the track. Horsti was always the same in a good mood, a young man with an incredibly positive attitude towards life. So I and many MX-friends him. From his playing days in racing in very vivid memories
It's always the brightest stars burn out the fastest they say. Horsti was such a star, but has very light blasted for us all has passed far too quickly. His death hit us all very much and we all feel with his family ...
Horsti, we will all miss you ... your friends MX-
