Macau. The 2017 Macau Grand Prix (CHN) was overshadowed by a
fatal accident in the motorcycle race. The international motorcycle
racing community mourns the death of British Honda rider Daniel
Hegarty. After this sad news, the sporting aspects of the Macau
Motorcycle Grand Prix pale into insignificance.
BMW Motorrad Motorsport would like to express its sincere condolences
to Hegarty’s family, friends and team at this difficult time.
The race was immediately red-flagged after the tragic accident. BMW
riders Peter Hickman and Michael Rutter (both GBR / Bathams SMT
Racing) were classified second and third.
