I've been following Nicky Hayden since he was 19 years old and racing Hondas in AMA. This really sucks. I am not one of the, "This is not how XXXX was supposed to die!", types, but damn... unexpected, for sure.

RIP, Kentucky Kid.

I remember watching him years ago when I would go to Mid-Ohio for the Superbike Weekend. Helluva racer.

That sucks. He was my favorite rider when I followed AMA and FIM racing for a few years.
