The Dakar Rally is one of the most traditional races in the motorsport world. However, this year it is overshadowed by a tragic incident.
“On Monday, January 15, Carles left us. The medical team has confirmed that the neurological damage caused by the cardiac-respiratory arrest caused by the accident is irreversible,” the statement said.
After his fall, Falcon was flown by helicopter to a hospital shortly before the destination of the section in Saudi Arabia. He had to be resuscitated because he no longer had a pulse. The racing driver from Tarragona made his Dakar debut in 2022.
