Good friend of mine and member of Danish MXoN Team, Kasper Lynggaard, a seriously, really great guy, my friend I called "Rockstar," died in practice at Dortmund SX
I am told they tried CPR for over 35 minutes, but was unsuccessful in reviving him

More news will be coming



All practice and qualifying was put on hold/cancelled and there is a team manager meeting underway at this moment to decide how to go forward the rest of the day and weekend

RIP, Rockstar

Moments like these put this sport in perspective. We do it for fun but that line of danger is sooo close. It was a pleasure watching him over the years. How these guys don't get a standing ovation after a race as they leave the stadium still baffles me.
