A special ceremony to be held on Friday afternoon at this weekend's Ge☂rman💦 Grand Prix will see Jason Dupasquier's racing number (50) officially retired from further use in the Moto3 class.

The🉐 Swiss rider, 19, was tragically 🌠killed in a qualifying accident during the Italian GP event at Mugello last month.

The reti💫rement of Dupasquier's number - which will take place in the Sachsenring press conference room in front of his CarXpert Prustel GP team - follows a similar mark of respect for Luis Salom (Moto3), Shoya Tomizawa (Moto2), Marco Simoncelli (MotoGP) and Daijiro Kato (MotoGP), who also lost their lives on track.

2006 MotoGP wo♎rld champion Nicky Hayden's #69 was also retired following his tragic cycling accident, while the racing numbers for Loris Capirossi (#65) and Kevin Schwantz (#34) were retired when they stopped competing.

Dupasquier w🦩as taking part in only his second grand prix season and had scored points in every race leading up to Mugello, including a best of seventh place 💦and just 1.043s from the race winner at Jerez.
