Infront Moto Racing President Giuseppe Luongo:
“It’s an extremely sad day. Wolfgang was a great man, strong like a rock, he was a great President for the FIM Motocross Commission and a great President of FIM-Europe. A lot of improvements to the Motocross World and European Championships are thanks to him. His life was dedicated to Motorsport and his family. He left his life as he lived his life, strong and proud, nobody had been informed about is illness and right up until that last moment he said that everything was OK. Not only was he great in his duties to the sport, but above all he was a dear dear friend. He will be missed, but he will remain always strong within our hearts. In this sad moment my family and all the MXGP family are close to Brigitte and Cornelia.”
