RIP Bence Szvoboda

God Bless young man, Bence Szvoboda. 🙏

Man, this is such a sad story.

Bence was all-in with motocross. Raw speed, and a unique style. A true warrior, who always came back from some crazy bad luck and injuries, even though many doubted him.

He had his fair share of injuries, the couple of years have been really tough - broke his back in 2021, after the bike died mid-air. Not many people would get back on the bike after such an experience, let alone go racing within a year after. End of last year he finally sorted the injuries somewhat out, made the comeback to the ADAC MX Masters, and straight landed in the top10 in a moto, with a stacked field.

This was a huge drive for him in this offseason - he worked his butt off. Finally, some amazing results started to come this season - a month ago he won in Czech Republic, then two weeks ago he got third in the Austrian championship. It was the long-awaited comeback results-wise. What a shocker this is now - a massive hit for the Hungarian MX-scene, but also the surrounding countries.

Godspeed #521

Such a tragedy, RIP Bence!  

Such a huge loss...

Bence was a great racer and even better person. He was loved by everyone. He made friends in every paddock, when he raced in Czech, Slovak, Hungarian or ADAC series. True legend. And also face of O'neall brand in Europe. Godspeed Bence...

God speed Bence!

I used to race with him on 85s. Or let's say I was in the same races. Good guy. Ride in peace!
