Austrian rider Philipp Steinmayr, aged 32, died from injuries sustained in the incident. Romanian rider Adrian Rus, aged 43, was transported to hospital in critical condition before later passing away.
Medical services responded immediately at the circuit. However, organisers said no further details about the incident would be released out of respect for the riders’ families.

FIM Europe, the Alpe Adria Motorcycle Union, promoter AAcademy and Automotodrom Brno expressed their condolences to the families, friends, teams and loved ones of Steinmayr and Rus.
