Funeral Saturday November 14

Timoteï Potisek’s funeral will take place on Saturday November 14 at 2 p.m. in the Saint-Eloi church in Dunkirk. For the religious ceremony, the pilots are invited to come with their motorcycle and in uniform. Tim will rest in his personal workshop, where he prepared his motorcycles and those of his brothers, in his father‘s concession, 9 rue de Calais in Dunkirk. A white march is scheduled for Saturday at 10 a.m. in Malo-les-Bains, on the dike (meeting behind the Place du Casino).

The dreaded news has just fallen: Timoteï Potisek died this afternoon at the CHR in Lille, following his injuries…

Hospitalized Friday in critical condition after falling on the landing of a jump (read) during training in Loon-Plage (North), the Dunkirk motocross rider aged only 25 years was suffering from severe brain and spinal cord injuries.

The "Prince of the Sands" had notably won twice – in 2006 and then in 2009 – the Enduropale du Touquet-Pas-de-Calais.

"This disappearance of a great champion, of a youth and a dynamism that we had recently shared upset us all", declares for his part Jean-Claude Olivier who had just recruited the young driver with an impressive track record: "his talent foreshadowed a long common course in the construction of shared victories ", but" the destiny that no one can foresee wanted otherwise. It is unfair to lose so tragically such a force of youth and talent ", regrets the emblematic boss of Yamaha Motor France, very deeply touched by this tragic disappearance.
