Farewell Jason · 4:54pm May 30th, 2021
MotoGP suffered a horrible loss today with the passing of 19 year old Jason Dupasquire. He was involved in a multi driver accident earlier today where he suffered serious injures and was transported to a nearby hospital. The hospital later announced that he had passed away.
I don't follow the MotoGP series at all, but when tragedies such as this occur, all of motorsports come together to honor these brave people chasing their dreams. The sad truth is that all these racers, regardless of their series, put their lives on the line to pursue what they love. Back in 2019 we lost an F2 driver, Antoine Hubert, in Spa. Just last year F1 driver Romain Grosjean suffered a horrible crash where his car was ripped in half and caught fire. By nothing short of a miracle he was able to get out, only suffering burns to his hands. Safety has come a long way in these sports, but by no means is it safe. All these people are forced to accept that there's a chance they could die pursuing their dream. It takes incredibly brave people to do that.
My deepest condolences to the friends and family of Jason Dupasquire. I can't begin to imagine how horrible of a loss this is for them.
R.I.P. 😔
