Tragedy in Valencia: serious accident for Italian rider during a track day

To spend three days on the track with friends and have fun. Surely, this was simply what the 35-year-old rider, Andrea Bergamelli, wanted to do in Valencia on the Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Valencia during a session organized by GullyRacing. But, unfortunately, Andrea was involved in a serious accident, with two other riders. An accident that cost him his life.

The GPOne editorial staff sends its most heartfelt condolences to Andrea’s family and friends.

The following is the full text of the statement published by the Circuit Ricardo Tormo:
