Superbike rider Matheus Barbosa, died at age 23. The world of motorsport is in mourning after 23-year-old SuperBike star Matheus Barbosa died in a crash at Interlagos on Sunday. The accident, which occurred at the Brazilian circuit famous for Formula One, came when the young driver appeared to lose control of his bike on a corner, leading to him careering off the track and into a metal barrier. The Kawasaki rider was in fourth position in the race when he lost control of his bike, and it was later confirmed that he died at the scene despite receiving immediate medical attention from the emergency services. Frightening video has emerged of Barbosa losing control of his bike while going around a corner at the Interlagos circuit on the outskirts of Sao Paulo during a SuperBike Brazil event. Barbosa could be seen hurtling off the track before crashing into a metal barrier. The Kawasaki rider received immediate medical attention but died at the scene. “The nearest medical team reached Matheus in less than 60 seconds but despite all their efforts he succumbed to his critical injuries,” a SuperBike Brazil spokesperson said. “The cause of the accident is still being investigated. “Out of respect to Matheus, and above all his family, the remaining day’s activities were immediately cancelled.” The race was called off with 10 laps remaining. “The competition was being held with all the necessary security conditions established by the appropriate authorities,” the spokesperson added. “The organisation’s priority at this time is to fully support Matheus’ family.” The tragedy continues a concerning trend at the legendary Interlagos circuit. Fellow superbike rider Mauricio Paludete died at the same circuit in April last year, while Danilo Berto also lost his life after an accident at Interlagos one month later. “Today Matheus Barbosa lost his life at Interlagos,” motorsport fan Claudio Legnani wrote on Twitter on Sunday. “In 2019 another two pilots died on the same circuit and then the authorities said the security measures were apt.” Tributes are flooding in on social media after Barbosa’s death. tags: matheus barbosa,matheus,o piloto matheus barbosa,matheus barbosa interlagos,barbosa,matheus barbosa morte superbike,matheus 96,matheus atacante,piloto matheus barbosa morre após acidente fatal na superbike em interlagos,bossa nova,marcus abjaud,mathues caroço 96,vídeo do acidente piloto matheus barbosa morre após acidente fatal na superbike em interlagos,alex barros,guitarra neo soul fusion,musica popular brasileira,guitarra fusion,guitarra neo soul,morte no superbike,piloto bateu e morreu
