"For months, our team has been working intensely preparing September Motofest, taking care of every detail to provide the public with a safe, organized event that is worthy of everyone who is part of this story.
Unfortunately, we were surprised by severe weather conditions, which caused damage to part of the event structure. A situation that is beyond our control and that we would never want to experience.
At this moment, however, any material damage is in the background. Structures can be rebuilt and material goods can be recovered. People's lives and safety are, and will always be, our highest priority.
To date, we are not aware of any serious incidents involving the public, and we are deeply grateful for that.
Our team is focused on assessing the entire situation responsibly and cautiously, prioritizing everyone's well-being and safety. Only after that will we deal with structural, material issues and the next steps of the event.
We appreciate everyone's understanding, support and solidarity at this time."
