The world of motorsport racing was mourning over the death of promising young talent such as Jason Dupasquier and Dean Berta Vinales last year.

Both young riders lost their lives due to injuries sustained on the track.

However, we are hit with another sad news: talented MotoAmerica racer Jason Aguilar has tragically lost his life following a mountain bike crash on February 5, 2022.

Despite friends managing to help first responders to transport Aguilar to the Providence Mission Hospital in Mission Vieja, California, the 26-year-old unfortunately did not survive.

His father, Bob Aguilar, broke down the news in a Facebook post dated February 6.

“(Jason) was rushed into surgery to relieve bleeding in his brain.

“While the surgery was successful in stopping the bleeding, he went without oxygen to his brain for too long before the surgery.

“As a result of the lack of oxygen, he suffered catastrophic and irreversible brain damage.

“Jason is an organ donor, so the hospital is making arrangements for (the) donation of his organs and recipients of those organs.

“Once that is complete, Jason will be taken off life support. We hope that Jason will live on in your memories and ours and that the donation of his organs will allow his memory to live on in others, ” he said.

Aguilar’s most significant achievement was winning the 2017 MotoAmerica Superstock 600 Championship with a personally funded team.

He later moved up through the ranks and into the SuperSport category, where he finished fourth overall in 2020.

The rider was fully focused on returning in the 2022 season after a botched sponsorship deal halted his plans in 2021.
