Former MotoGP champion Nicky Hayden has died aged 35, five days after being involved in a crash while cycling.

The American collided with a car on the Rimini coastline in Italy on Wednesday, 17 May.

He suffered "serious cerebral damage" and had been in the intensive care unit of Cesena's Maurizio Bufalini Hospital.

Hayden, who competed in the World Superbike Championship in Italy on 14 May, won the MotoGP championship in 2006.

A hospital statement issued on Thursday said Hayden had suffered "a serious polytrauma", which is a medical term to describe the condition of a person who has multiple traumatic injuries.

Read about his accident the other day. Didn't realise it was that bad.
 



...read this on the BBC earlier. Can't say I'd heard of him but sad that some of these young men meet their demise away from the racing track. Thinking of Graham Hill and the sad situation of Michael Schumaker. I suppose they literally live lives in the fast lane. Very sad.
