HenryW 1,177 Posted May 18, 2017 The reports coming out just now really don't sound good at all. Hopefully things aren't quite as bad as they sound and Nicky can make a good recovery. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OveFundinFan 4,133 Posted May 18, 2017 Not good news. Flies round a track at up to 200mph and has a crash on a bicycle with a car. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wackie 938 Posted May 19, 2017 Terrible news, Nicky is such a lovely guy. Saw some pics of the car that hit him, looked like it was a horrific accident also watching the press conferences from this weeks MotoGP in France the riders are very sombre when talking about him, I really hope for a happy outcome but it doesn't sound good at the moment. Come on #69. you're a tough one who's faced many a battle, this is one you must win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wackie 938 Posted May 22, 2017 I knew it was serious, but I honestly thought he would pull through. So sad. I got a sense it wasn't going to have a happy outcome after hearing various interviews across the motogp coverage at the weekend, but hoped upon hope that I'd be wrong. Never heard a bad word said against Nicky, I'm a massive Rossi fan, but was even pleased when he pippred Vale to the motogp title in 2006. Proper racer and proper lovely bloke off track.
