Mika Ahola passes...

 
 

1974 – 2012

Five-times enduro world champion Mika Ahola died of post-operative complications in a Barcelona hospital on the night before Monday.

He suffered from an internal organ injury that he had sustained three weeks ago in a fall while practicing. Obviously, Ahola’s death and the preceding accident came to off-road community as a complete surprise.

In addition to five consecutive enduro world championships, Ahola was also the oldest-ever Champion and the first rider to win in all three classes, so he leaves quite the legacy. We'll have a full report in the next issue.

Mika Ahola was 37 years old.
