Nine-year-old Argentine motorbike racer Lorenzo Somaschini died on Monday after crashing on Friday in Brazil. During the free practice sessions on Friday, he fell off his bike while coming out of a curve known as Pinheirinho. “I’ve been riding bikes since I was four,” Somaschini told specialized website Paseo Tuerca in April. “My dad used to ride; when I was two, he took me to watch SuperBike and I started to like it. My dream is to reach MotoGP and become a world champion.”These were Somaschini’s first steps in the Honda Junior Cup, a junior class for drivers aged 8 to 18.
