Reports indicate that FIM Medical Intervention Vehicles arrived at the site immediately and the Swiss rider was attended to on track before being transferred by medical helicopter, in a stable state, to Careggi Hospital in Florence.
Despite the best efforts of circuit medical staff and all those subsequently attending to the Swiss rider, the hospital has announced that Dupasquier has sadly succumbed to his injuries.
Dupasquier was sitting in 12th place in the drivers standings prior to his death.
Fabio Quartararo dedicated his win at the Italian GP on Sunday to “Jason and his family.”
