Terrible news. You always hope people recover from injuries but alas not this time. RIP Nicky.

Initially I was not a particular fan of Hayden but the dignified way he behaved when Puig and co joined the Repsol Team and Hayden was shit on quite severely changed my view. Twitter this morning is full of comments to the effect that he was the nicest guy in the paddock.
A female triathlete died in the same hospital on the same day following having been hit by a truck while cycling. In an interview on the radio the young Kiwi guy who recently won the Tour of California said four people he knows have been killed while cycling. He attributed this in part to cell phone usage by drivers.
Apparently most pro racers be it BSB, WSBK, or MotoGP, cycle as part of their fitness training so Nicky may not be the last. It'd be ironic if, with all the run off around the tracks these days, the fitness training was more dangerous than the racing.

Hopefully he's fine for next weekend.
You'd never go hungry with Nigella Gaz.
If it weren't for flashbacks...I'd have no memory at all..
Rossi is to undergo a fitness test at Mugello. Those can be cruel.
Feeling slightly discombobulated currently. My brother, on his post retirement trip, is currently in Tuscany. He was due to drive past Mugello yesterday. He and his wife had no plans to stop.

Interesting what Dani said about it being Hayden that recommended the arm pump surgeon. I wonder how many riders he influenced by just being such a nice guy. Legend.
Any predictions this weekend for the brave ones?
Now MM has his new tyre he shouldn't crash this round so maybe we might see him at the top? DP doesn't have a great record there so I think it'll be between MM, the two Yamahas and maybe JL for the podium spots.

So the way I read Scott's comments is that MM and VR wanted the tyre and that was that for the rest of the riders?
It's funny though that for a rider who "can ride around problems" MM hasn't done much of that this season?
My prediction, MM will start doing better with this tyre and most the other riders will either suffer or have no improvement.
Think you'll find he's been having to do it for the last few seasons mate. Bit like Old Mate on the Ducati...

I'd say he finds ways to make the bike ride like he wants it to rather than changing his style to ride around problems. 2015 was a good example of that, bike no work, gimme old chassis please. This season, tyre no work, gimme harder carcass please.
Last season was his best season ever imo as he learned he can't always win.
Stoner rode around problems, MM, not so much.
