BIOGRAPHY

Born in Anápolis, a town located in the State of Goiás in Central Brazil, Matheus Barbosa was considered one of the most promising members of a new generation of Brazilian riders. Barbosa put impressive performances in the Yamaha R3 Pro Cup, Kawasaki Ninja 300 Cup and the Paulista Yamalube championship in 2017 and 2018.

That opened a door for a seat in the official Team Kawasaki Brasil that took in the SuperSport 600 class of the 2019 Brazilian Superbike Championship. Barbosa would take that series by storm; after a tight, year-long fight against team mate Leo Tamburro, Barbosa would be crowned champion after winning no less than seven of the 11 races of that season, and scoring seven pole-positions and seven fastest laps. Team Kawasaki Brasil was so impressed by Barbosa's performance that he was invited to race an extra motorcycle in the last round of the top motorcycle class of Brasil, the Superbike Pro. That event would be a double-header in Interlagos, held on 01 December - the same day he clinched the SuperSport 600 title. Barbosa would not disappoint, obtaining a couple of fifth places and impressing observers with his raw speed.

With that, and having winning his third title in three years, Barbosa was widely recognized as a rider with potential to race abroad. Thus, it was hardly a surprise when Kawasaki Brasil hired him for a full season in Superbike Pro, giving him a Ninja ZX-10R. Barbosa was elated with his relationship with that Japanese manufacturer and the squad, managed by JC Racing, was one of the best equipped in the local racing scene. While recognizing the challenged presented by the significantly faster and more powerful Superbike machines, Barbosa expressed confidence, and set a goal of fighting for wins that season.

Like many other racing series the 2020 Brazilian SuperBike Championship had its start significantly delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic. With the country being one of the most affected by such a public health emergency, teams and organizers alike struggled to be able to get ready; funding became another significant concern. Therefore, it was only on 30 August that the 2020 season finally saw a kick-off, in the form of a race in Interlagos - but the long pause did not affect Barbosa's pace. He scored the fourth fastest time in qualifying and, when the lights were off... he bolted to the lead, overtaking pole-sitter Pedro Sampaio and no one else than Eric Granado, previously raced in the Moto3 and Moto2, competed in the MotoE World Championship. Barbosa led the two first laps. but was then overtaken by Granado and Sampaio. The race would end in this order - but no means it was a disappointing result. Barbosa had shown that he could mix with the best in SuperBike Brasil as well.

The following race, which took place a week later in Goiânia, had a storyline quite similar to the first. Once again Barbosa dashed to the front of the pack, and this time led four laps before relinquishing the command to Granado. He went home to another third place. The third race, on again held in Interlagos, yield yet another third place to Barbosa. Three podiums in three events were an auspicious start, and it seemed that his objective of achieving a win in his first years in the series was tantalizingly close. However, in early October such hopes would be shattered as he was informed by Kawasaki Brasil that, due to the ecumenic recession amidst the pandemic, the team budget shrunk, and they had to let him go. The official team would only be able to field one motorcycle for the season; Leo Tamburro, and not Barbosa, was the chosen one.

Barbosa looked for alternatives and found one in PCM/PRT, a private team. He joining them for the next event, scheduled for 18 October, with Edson "Mutante" Luiz and Pablo Flores Nunes as team mates. Barbosa quickly showed that being discarded by a works team was not going to slow him down. Despite lacking familiarity with his new mount, a Suzuki GSX-R1000, he qualified with a time nearly five seconds faster than "Mamute", his closest team mate, and just 0.3 seconds behind Tamburro. Unfortunately, though, race day turn to a disappointment as Barbosa, due to a mechanical failure on his Suzuki, was unable to complete the first lap of the event.

RACE & ACCIDENT

The fifth round of the 2020 calendar, yet another race in Interlagos, took place on Sunday, 08 November. Barbosa again qualified significantly faster than his team mates - this time putting five and a half seconds between Nunes and himself. The gap to Tamburro in the starting grid, though, grew this time to almost a second, as Barbosa recorded a fastest qualifying lap of 1min38.908s. The race, started at 13h30, was another story altogether, as Barbosa proved to be quite a force that Tamburro had to reckon with. Although Barbosa and his private Suzuki certainly could not match Granado and his works Honda, he was able to pass his former team mate, and the two put together a heated battle for second place.

On the second of the twelve laps of the race Granado had already opened a significantly gap over the rest of the field. Barbosa took the Mergulho turn some three motorcycle lengths ahead of Tamburro, but at the Curva da Junção the Suzuki highsided. Barbosa was thrown off the seat, but managed to hold to the right side of the tank while he hung off on the left side of the motorcycle, with his feet toughing the ground. He managed to climb back on the seat, but by then the motorcycle continued at high speed over the grass. Barbosa grabbed the handlebar and attempted to steer the Suzuki between the concrete barriers that close the old Junção lay-out, connecting it to the Interlagos outer ring which fell into disuse since 1989. Unfortunately he was not able to do so, and Barbosa's motorcycle hit one of the was at considerable speed. The Suzuki decelerated suddenly, with the rider crashing against the handlebar and the concrete barrier. The race was immediately red flagged. Barbosa was reached by rescuers about a minute later, but it was confirmed that he lost his life one the spot. All following proceedings of the program were canceled.

Matheus Barbosa at the time occupied the fourth position of the Brazilian SuperBike Championship classification table. He was twenty-three years old. Barbosa's death was the first since SuperBike Brasil introduced a series of measures for safety improvement the prior year.

It has been cleared for publication that in an operation conducted by the Shin Bet, with the assistance of the IDF, the body of hostage Itay Svirsky (of blessed memory) was brought from the Gaza Strip for burial in Israel.

Itay, a member of Kibbutz Be'eri, was abducted by the Hamas terrorist organization on October 7, 2023. He was murdered in captivity by his captors, and his body was held in the Gaza Strip.

Alongside the operational effort, the Hostages and Missing Persons Team in the IDF's Personnel Directorate, which is responsible for accompanying the families of hostages, worked together with the Institute of Forensic Medicine and the Israel Police in the identification process. Today, representatives of the Shin Bet and the IDF informed the family.

The Shin Bet, the IDF, and security forces express their condolences to the family and will continue to work to bring all the hostages home.
