Farewell, Kentucky Kid
For many in the world of motorcycling,
the year 2017 will be overshadowed
by the sudden and tragic death of
Nicky Hayden, killed while cycling in
Rimini, Italy, in May. The Kentucky
Kid was loved around the world and
remains the U.S.'s last MotoGP World
Champion, so let's remember him here
as he power-slides his factory Repsol
Honda RC211V towards that famous
title at Valencia in 2006.
