We may think that they're immortal, but they're human too. Nicky Hayden, 2006 MotoGP World Champion, was struck by a passenger car while cycling in Rimini last Wednesday following the Imola World Superbike round. He succumbed to severe brain damage caused by the accident. 

We wanted to pay a little tribute to this American guy who loved the speed and the thrill of racing. When your guardian angel is used to rush at 300km/h, don't slow down. 

Rest in speed Kentucky Kid.
