The disappearance of Nicky Hayden in what must be called a fatal road traffic accident leaves a big void in all the paddocks. Here we are orphaned by this conquering and sparkling smile of an always positive Kentucky Kid. Expressions of sympathy to the Hayden family continue. Including this one, recently made by Valentino Rossi.
Nicky Hayden defeated the Doctor in the conquest of the 2006 world title, but this defeat in no way affected the esteem that Vale always held for the man who was his teammate during the HRC days and who then became his companion in trouble at Ducati.
The nine-time winner gave his autographed helmet from the last Italian Grand Prix to the family Hayden, in memory of Nicky who died. It is brother Roger who informs us of this approach on his social network. On the helm, we can read this autographed sentence: “ to the entire Hayden family. I have always had beautiful moments both with Nicky and with all of you ". A sincere gesture from a great champion in the memory of another.
