World's gone mad, Karel Abraham qualifies in 2nd place in a rainy MotoGP qualifying in Argentina, wow! 

 

His best ever results were one 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th place in qualifying and now he takes 2nd

24 hours of Le Mans, over 20 hours of racing done...difference between 1st and 2nd? Less than 0,5 seconds

Nicky Hayden has been involved in a crash in Italy, while training by bike (not a motorbike) he was hit by a car. Apparently he's in a very serious, critical condition...

 

Let's hope we won't get some terrible news within the next hours..

The crashes with cyclists around Europe are increasing in alarming rates.

hopefully his life isn't under threat anymore...even if he's in very serious conditions (multiple abdominal trauma and severe concussion)...

he has been moved to a renomated brain treatment/surgery specialized hospital in Cesena...

 

here are some pictures from the accident's location...

EDIT: according to some late news (unofficial sources directly from the Bufalini Hospital in Cesena), Nicky's life is still in danger...it looks that the situation is worse than expected...

unfortunately, Nicky Hayden's conditions are not improving...

 

as reprted by the latest bulletin from the Cesena Hospital, he has multiple trauma in his head with severe brain damages...

moreover, he also has multiple fractures in his legs and pelvis and he's too weak to be operated to give him some relief from the cranial hematoma, which is at the moment his main problem, the most life threatening...

 

poor Nicky!

poor Nicky!

I wish those fractures were important...  (that would mean there are no worse things to focus on, which there of course are now.. )

 

Nothing good coming out of all this so far.

Turn 2-3 in Moto3 resulted in a crash in the 1st lap between Norrodin, Kornfeil, Dalla Porta and Suzuki. Riders ok, bikes were cleared and no need for a red flag or anything....until the field came back around one lap later and discovered there was still a little bit of oil, so this happened
