He was taken from us at the bend of a crossroads, a banal but terrible road accident, a day like any other, mowed down in full effort on a route swallowed by bike. While on tracks around the world, he defied speed and the law of gravity, without ever regretting a serious injury. Life is like that and it left a Kid from Kentucky who we miss terribly. This morning, the people of the Grands Prix paid him a final tribute.
69 seconds of heavy silence, of unfeigned communion in view of the attitude of the pilots and the respect of an already large crowd and above all covered in yellow in honor of the one whom Nicky Hayden won for the 2006 World Champion title.
Thank you Nicky for dazzling us with your talent, your devastating smile and your always positive state of mind. An example.
