That's really bad news. Cerebral injuries can be devastating no matter how he recovers.

Wow. when I saw the thread title , I thought it must have been a crash on the track. Too many people are getting hit by cars while out riding their bikes

RIP.

I know on some level it doesn't really matter, but this quote from the article sums it up for me:

But to lose his life away from the race track, without even the caveat of 'doing what he loved most and knowing the risks', seems especially tragic.

 

[Tricia]

Wow. Sad.

RIP. What a great, great racer and human being.

Nicky had so damn much FUN racing a bike, and loved the whole circus, especially the fans. Always smiling, and actually dancing on the podium when he clinched the championship a few years back.

He will be missed by so many.

In the afterlife, I'm pretty sure the tires never go away late in the race....
