gently caress. I haven't followed bike racing since right around the time Nicky won MotoGP, but a buddy just broke the news. Poor dude didn't deserve to go out like that. RIP Nicky.

Julian Ryder's column quote:The abiding image I have of Nicky Hayden is set in the press room of the Valencia circuit. It’s a big room and it was packed as Nicky came in and sat down after becoming world champion. You remember the pictures; the flag, the tears. He looked up, just about in control of his emotions and was greeted with the longest sustained round of applause I have heard. No whooping or hollering, just a profound expression of admiration from the people who’d watched him struggle against the odds to a championship that will look better and better as history and time put it in perspective. To win on what was a development bike, different from every other Honda, with rookie crew chief Pete Benson against Valentino Rossi was a great, great achievement. I know this because Valentino Rossi said so, I know this because Kenny Roberts said so. https://www.superbikeplanet.com/ryder-notes-images-nick/ builds character posted:This is good.

Having just lost my father a few years back to a collision with a car while he was on a motorcycle, I can very easily imagine the hospital room they Hayden's have just spent the last few agonizing days in. Even though I've never met the guy, I feel like I've known Nicky Hayden since I started watching him race in '06. A terrible, terrible loss all around. Rossi put it well when he described Hayden as a great racer, but an even better human being.

My work computer needed a re-image last week, and I've been waiting a few days to figure out what to put as my desktop background. Just restored my images folder, and this was near the top: That'll work. Wish I had it in higher res, but I can't even find the original on Motomatters anymore. Maybe I'll bug Scott Jones for one after things have calmed down.

Not sure if you guys saw but Vale in hospital with mild trauma to his chest and abdominal area from a motocross crash while training. Mugello in question now.

No doubt, a few years back when Bautista took him out the place emptied mid race. There was a time, after he broke his leg, where he talked about less offroad riding cause of the effect it could have on his racing. I guess the ranch ended that, it wasn't even 'off season training' anymore.

This wasn't at the ranch, that's dirt track, he was at a motocross facility a bit from his place. From what they said he'll be back for Mugello but might still be a bit sore. I don't think there were any serious injuries, they just want to keep him in for observation just incase they missed something/something develops. Fairly common for traumas, keep overnight for obs then send them home in the morning. Better safe than sorry.

WorldSBK Race weekend Race 1 Sykes Haslam Lowes Chaz Davies fell and rejoined getting 8th. Rea had a high speed crash when the rear of the bike came around and flicked him off. He uncharacteristically shagged out the rear tire pushing hard most of the race to stay out front, first chasing Chaz, then to keep ahead of Sykes.

WSBK race2 Rea Sykes Davies Lowes Rea streaked away and never looked back, Sykes had to fight through the field but didn't really get close. Davies got into another incident, this time not his fault but ended up dropping through the field and have to ride out of his skin to get up to third. WSSP SOFUOGLU MAHIAS CLUZEL STAPLEFORD KENNEDY There was a good battle between Mahias/Cluzel and Stapleford/Kennedy. No one was even close to Sofuoglu through, when he's on the bike, no one seems to be able to catch him. SSP300 The top 3 had a really good race. Lots of place swapping and were a step above. The rest unfortunately didn't do so well, there were a lot of retirements to mechanical failure.

Starting Grid for Mugello: Vinales Rossi Dovisioso Pirro (WTF?) Pedrosa Marquez Lorenzo Bautista Petrucci Rabat Zarco Espargaro A. Crutchlow Barberra Folger Iannone Baz Espargaro P. Miller Redding Abraham Lowes Smith Guintoli Poor Lorenzo has Michele Pirro AND Dovizioso ahead of him on the starting grid. I know Lorenzo went top for at least a minute or two of FP3. He seems to be able to get to a point on the Ducati, but just cannot breakout and get the few extra tenths needed to get near the front of the grid.

Ducati tests at mugello all the time so he's got all kinds of laps in there, he should be able to put in a time.

While I agree with your sentiment, some folks really eschew watching the lower classes when it comes to racing. Which is weird to me, because generally if you want close and unpredictable races, the up and comers is where it's at. Holy poo poo did Mattia Pasini ride like a madman. Where he was making moves on both Marquez and Luthi was just amazing, the set up on the last lap to go from 3rd to 1st was just drat amazing.
