"The former MotoGP World Champion, currently Honda Ten Kate in the World Superbike, was hit by a car while riding his bike at Riccione Tavoleto in Italy on Wednesday around 2pm.
Hayden was part of a group of cyclists when a Peugeot struck him.
He tapped into the windshield and then was thrown on the pavement.
After his condition was stabilized on the spot, he was immediately transported to the emergency room of the Infermi of Rimini.
The diagnosis of doctors is reserved because of severe chest injuries and several head trauma."

Gee wiz. That impact surely wasn't from pedalling speeds, the roof is caved in.

That guy isn't having any luck at all lately, I hope he makes a full recovery, by that time Ten Kate may have that effin Fireblade sorted out.

Nicky Hayden latest news

Friday May 19

9am: Nicky Hayden's sister has sent her support via social media, tweeting: "My brother is a fighter".

Hayden's situation remains critical and his family are by his side in hospital following the accident on Wednesday night.

7.30: Nicky Hayden has suffered severe brain damage and his condition is "extremely critical" after being hit by a car while cycling in eastern Italy.

Honda quoted Cesena's Maurizio Bufalini hospital as saying the 35-year-old had "a serious polytrauma with subsequent serious cerebral damage".

Doctors had placed the 2006 MotoGP champion, known as "The Kentucky Kid", into a medically induced coma after the incident on Wednesday.

Hayden was taken to the hospital after being struck by a car while training on his bicycle along Italy's Adriatic coast following a weekend Superbike race at the Imola circuit.

Honda said he was taken initially by ambulance to a hospital near the coastal resort of Rimini before then being transferred to Cesena.

Hayden's fiancee Jackie and team members had been joined at his bedside by brother Tommy and mother Rose who flew in from the United States.

5.50: People came together in Hayden's hometown of Owensboro in Kentucky on Thursday night.

A mass was held for him at Precious Blood Catholic Church, where his Hayden's uncle was in attendance.

He said: "It's starting to sink in a little bit of how grave the situation may be," said Hayden. "It takes several hours to grasp the impact of it all. At first, you're just in shock. It's difficult to be logical."

His uncle added doctors there have determined that Nicky has very little brain activity and therefore isn't strong enough to undergo certain procedures.
 
Sad and yet good news. I'd hate for him to be like Schumaker. Or for that matter my own niece who has been in a coma for 18 months after a car accident and terrible head injuries. Sometimes the medics try too hard.

A great loss for both his family and the motorcycling fraternity, he was a great ambassador for the sport. Very sad, but a better outcome than being a mere shell of his former self, kept alive by machines with little or no prospect of recovery.

RIP #69
