Nicky Hayden, 1981-2017

I'm still in shock. Myself, Gerald, Matt, and a few others were at Laguna Seca for his win in his MotoGP championship season in 2006. The energy there was incredible, and that was repeated when we were rooting for Nicky on the Ducati at Indianapolis, when he snagged a podium there in 2009.

RIP.

That's terrible.

I don't follow motorcycle racing, but I can certainly see how much this guy meant to a lot of people. It's also great to see an American be such a large impact in a global sport such as this. Very sad news.
