Wow, shocking. We watched many a race on tv with him in it as well as some at mid ohio. Watched him and his two brothers racing for years. Hope he pulls through. Kinda reminds me of when Pig Man rolled his Expedition. He was in bad shape for a while, but pulled through.

On a bicycle even. that's got to hurt. hope he heals fast. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

Met and talked to him many times. Very sad to read. What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone | |||

http://www.roadracingworld.com...n-decries-fake-news/ "By John Ulrich My friend Earl Hayden is facing his own medical issues at home in Kentucky and is unable to travel while his son, 2006 MotoGP World Champion Nicky Hayden, lies in a hospital in Italy, mother Rose Hayden and brother Tommy Hayden at his side. I spoke to Earl this morning, and adding to the family's pain has been a cascade of FAKE NEWS posted all over the internet, including by alleged professional news organizations that should know better. Earl told me the following: The family HAS NOT issued a statement that Nicky is dead. Nicky IS NOT dead, although he is on life support. Nicky was riding his bicycle alone, NOT in a group of 14 riders. Doctors DID NOT perform surgery on Nicky. Nicky WAS NEVER in an induced coma. Yes, people want to know what is happening with Nicky, a great motorcycle racer, person and humanitarian. But making things up or failing to do even the most basic due diligence or fact checking, and posting FAKE NEWS for commercial purposes? Have the guilty news organizations even considered the effect their FAKE NEWS has on the family and friends and true fans of Nicky and his family? To paraphrase a famous quote from the 1950s related to manufactured facts, "Have you no shame?" ____________________ | |||
