[emrat:9694] Nicky Haden

My email to The Denver Post:

 

News Tip: I hope you can run a story about the death yesterday of American motorcycle racer Nicky Hayden. I saw a one-sentence mention in today's edition of The Denver Post in the sports section. Tributes about Nicky are coming from around the world. Here's a link to the story in The Guardian:

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2017/may/23/nicky-hayden-obituary

There are many motorcyclists in Colorado who follow American and international motorcycle racing, and his death at age 35 from traumatic injuries sustained while bicycling in Italy has hit us hard.

Thank you.

I think I first saw Nicky Hayden race on a super bike in the AMA at Pikes Peak International Raceway south of Colorado Springs in 2002.  I think it was in 2003 that he jumped to MotoGP.

 

In 2007, a group of us traveled by different routes, mostly on motorcycles, to Laguna Seca for MotoGP.  This was the year after Nicky won the MotoGP championship, but he was clearly the favorite of the American fans.  I recall that Casey Stoner won the race that day.

 

Our group included Brian Huculak, Keith Houghton, John Bortscheller, Bob and Denise Wendl, Peter Sharp and his brother, and Terry Ellstrom.  Did I forget anyone?  It has been a decade . . .

 

Anyway, ever since 2002-2003, I've watched many a MotoGP and WSBK race that included Nicky.

 

His loss leaves a big hole in the hearts of motorcyclists worldwide, witness the outpouring of comments from around the world on the many motorcycle-related pages of Facebook.

The irony is that he died riding a bicycle....

That's why you need to eat desert first, retire early and ride fast motorcycles, safely!
