17-Year-Old Catalan Rider Pau Alsina Dies After Training Accident at MotorLand Aragón

Pau Alsina was thrown from his bike during a Saturday morning session at MotorLand Aragón and suffered fatal head injuries despite emergency surgery in Zaragoza, dying on July 21. Alsina, a debutant in the FIM JuniorGP with Team Estrella Galicia 0,0, had achieved an eighth-place finish at Jerez and was hailed as one of Catalonia’s top racing prospects. His death follows the June 3 crash that killed 20-year-old Borja Gómez at Magny-Cours, marking two consecutive fatalities among young riders in recent weeks. The Real Automóvil Club de Cataluña and the Government of Aragón issued formal condolences, Sallent de Llobregat declared official mourning days, and Alsina’s body awaits repatriation to Catalonia. Regional authorities and racing bodies now face renewed calls to review and strengthen protective gear requirements and track safety protocols in junior competitions.
