Rip Thread

Really sad news, just like when Marco passed it felt we'd all lost someone we knew.... never met the guy but would always cheers him on as he seemed like such a genuinely awesome guy and a great talent, R.I.P Nicky, thoughts with family and friends

 

Sad loss of an American Gentlemen. RIP

 

So tragic.

Great pic...

 

So sad and ironic that a world champion motorcycle racer who regularly rides at over 200mph should lose his life on a bicycle.

Who says speed kills...

 

A nice little write up on the BBC.

Seemed like such a good dude.never complained & even when riding for Ducati & other satellite teams not getting the best results I can't ever remember him saying anything negative about the bike or team.damn shame

 

Gone but not forgotten, RIP.

He seemed like an utterly top bloke, never mind gifted racer.
It's total pants. That and Manchester in the same day (only found out this morning). Should have stayed in bed.

 

Such a tragic waste. No one can imagine what took the talented musician to the end of his travels at age 41 but he is a loss.

 

Sad

 

Gutted, brilliant singer

 

I'm genuinely gutted by this.

 

His poor family and children.... we lost a talented singer... they lost a father..
