Kentucky Kid Nicky Hayden Dies

Nicky Hayden has passed away from injuries he suffered in an accident while he was bicycling. Hayden competed the prior week in Italy and was riding bicycles during his off time when the collision occurred. 

The 2006 MotoGP world champion was hospitalized at Maurizio Bufalini Hospital in Cesena, Italy. 



From his compettitor James Toseland, "His biggest achievement is not the trophies he won, or the championship, it was the respect he got from his peers. The way everybody talks about Nicky Hayden speaks volumes for the type of person he was."

Guess it's time to revisit his championship season. He edged Valentino Rossi that year, driving the Repsol Honda
