The Manx Motor Cycle Club would like to express its deepest condolences following the tragic passing of Kamil Holan after an accident at the North West 200.
Kamil will forever hold a special place in Manx Grand Prix history as the first rider from the Czech Republic to win a Manx Grand Prix race when he claimed victory in the 2012 Newcomers A Race. He went on to achieve an outstanding fifth place finish in the 2014 Senior Manx Grand Prix before progressing to compete at the Isle of Man TT between 2015 and 2018. Alongside his success on the Mountain Course, Kamil also enjoyed many successful years competing in the International Road Racing Championship, especially at his home circuit of Horice.
Kamil was a valued part of our Manx Grand Prix family and a close friend of Manx Motor Cycle Club committee members. His passion, determination and friendly nature made him respected and admired by many within the road racing community.
Our thoughts and heartfelt sympathies are with Kamil’s long time partner Zanetta, his three daughters, his mother, brother and the rest of his family and friends, and all those affected by this devastating loss. With a cruel irony Kamil lost his father Ivo just two weeks ago. Ivo was Kamil’s greatest supporter throughout his career.
Rest in peace, Kamil and Ivo.
