Today we have received tragic news for motorcycling and the off-road world. Mika Ahola , multiple Enduro World Champion and one of the most cutting-edge riders of the Finnish academy, died tonight at the Teknon Clinic in Barcelona, where he was admitted due to internal injuries that he suffered while training a month ago in Girona.
37-year-old Mika Ahola had to have a kidney removed, causing quite a few subsequent complications that have ended up costing the life of this great Enduro rider.
