I am a huge fan of all 3 Hayden brothers, but before we crucify the driver I think it is worth noting that Nicky ran a stop sign on his bike and was hit by the car.

Nevertheless, great American racer, MotoGP champ and just an all around great ambassador for the sport with his great attitude and always taking time for the fans.

[i have not read the story about the driver of vehicle. I was wondering about that. I heard another athlete was hit over there also recently. Tour da France racer I think. I also heard they drive a bit crazy over there . All around bad deal /QUOTE]
