Nicky hayden struck by a car while training in Italy. Last I heard serious chest and head injuries and induced coma to aid healing. Get well Nicky.

Always one of my favourites, down to earth and always smiling. You got the feeling he felt truly fortunate to be where he was. Tragic.

Very sad to hear of his passing.

A pureblood racer from a great racing family.

Provided us all with many great moments and many great memories.

I met Nicky and Tommy along w Earl when the brothers were only about 10 or 11. They were racing illegally due to Earl lying about their age. It was a WERA event at Seattle Intl Raceway back around 1995 or so.

Their obvious dedication to racing impressed me it wasn't often you'd see young kids so focused on bike racing.

My wife and I were at Laguna when Nicky won his first MotoGP race. And two seasons ago we were hanging out in Karel's garage right next to Nicky's Aspar team.

Very saddened by this news.
