Not too sure if there are any MotoGP / WSBK fans on here but just wanted to note the passing of MotoGP / WSBK racer Nicky Hayden. I've followed his career since he raced CBR 600's and RC51's in the AMA series in the U.S. through to his 2006 MotoGP Championship and current stint with Red Bull Honda in WSBK.

I remember an interview a long time ago when he discussed the dangers of racing on two wheels and it was on two wheels that he was ultimately injured... just not the ones he imagined I suspect as he was struck by a car while road cycling in Italy.

A bit of a double whammy from my POV as I road cycle as well to stay in shape and with traffic it can be even more nerve wracking than being on a motorcycle.

Stay safe out there...

Rest in Peace Nicky. You will be missed.
