Michael Špaček (motorcyclist)

Michael Špaček (2 March 1991, in Montélimar – 12 October 2009, in Plzeň) was a Czech youth motocross champion.

After his family returned from exile in Spain, where his father became Spanish champion in Enduro, his family settled in Poběžovice u Holic.

Thanks to reality, the family lived 20 meters from the famous motocross track in Holice and owned a part of it.

Michael started riding a motorcycle at three years of age.

He was critically injured during Czech International Team Championship in Loket on 26 September 2009 and died in hospital two weeks later, aged 18.
