MACAU - French motorcyclist Bruno Bonhuil died after his bike rammed into a barrier during a practice round at the Macau Grand Prix on Saturday, race organizers said.
The 45-year-old Bonhuil "has passed away from injuries received in an accident during the warm up this morning," organizers said in a statement Saturday afternoon.
Bonhuil's accident near the Mandarin Bend Exit came just hours before the Macau Motorcycle Grand Prix. He lost control of his bike five minutes into a half-hour morning practice session.
