Le Kid from Kentucky left us orphaned at the bend of a crossroads approached during an ordinary bike training session. 2006 MotoGP World Champion, the one who defied the laws of gravity and maximum speeds on the circuits in the most exclusive competitions in the four corners of the world was taken from us by a banal road accident. THE Italian Grand Prix, this Sunday, will honor the memory of the one who will be missed by all.

The disappearance of the equally regretted Marco Simoncelli had been marked by a minute of noise, mark of a state of mind which gave all the charm to the lost Italian talent. At Mugello, 69 seconds of contemplation will mark the Italian Grand Prix, the sixth round of the MotoGP calendar.

A counted time reminiscent of the American pilot's favorite plaque. The celebration will take place on Sunday June 4 at 10:20 a.m. Nicky's motorcycles will be there, from the Honda to the Ducati via the Aspar team as well as the one that was his last thoroughbred: the CBR 1000RR Superbike. A final farewell that will be full of emotion.
