Sorry if already a thread, I looked but never saw one.
Round one at Philip Island was a corker
Just watching Race One from round two at Thailand, pretty dull in comparison although the Brits are running well again.

Don't see the point in watching these days. Rea will win others will fight for rest of the podium, not Rea's fault, but still boring for me at least.

Just watched super sport and super bike race two.

Super sport was good.
Super bike was as per race one zzzz

Not nice to hear that news... Hope he gets back to 100% and recovers from this...

thedoc46 · 17 May 2017 at 20:30

Yes looking at that car and the words severe head & chest trauma in headline and the fact that they've moved him already to a different hospital, doesn't make it look good. Hopefully we're all wrong.

Hope he recovers from this quickly

The damage he has done to the car indicates some seriously mighty collision ! His bike is snapped in half too :/

thedoc46 · 18 May 2017 at 21:08

Severe brain damage unfortunately. So this is probably the end for him as we once knew him... Very sad.

It does seem like he has unfortunately passed away now...

Sure lots of news outlets will be reporting soon enough.

RIP Nicky69

Yea pretty much everyone reporting it now. RIP

Minibiker · 22 May 2017 at 17:41

Yeah just read this online...

RIP Nicky69

He said he had the number 69 because he crashed so much and he needed a number he could read upside down. I remember when he won the motogp championship in 2006 beating his great friend rossi. He was howling like a baby with the achievement he had reached with his dad on the back of the honda.
Simply awful, awful news, words fail me...

ZedPowered · 24 May 2017 at 21:25

Was his old mans number, his old man wanted the number that you could read upside down.

Going to donny with pit passes so hopefully the team will have his bike ready to go. Will be nice to pay our respects.

Entai · 25 May 2017 at 08:44

i can confirm yes, the team will have Nicky's side of the pits setup in full, with the bike out front, as tribute.
