All the sights keep crashing, but did get that he received severe head and chest trauma. No details on who was at fault. If he is retired, what is in training for?

He's not retired. He's been racing for Ten Cate Honda in World Superbike.

Here is an article I found on the Corriere della Sera:

http://www.corriere.it/sport/motomondiale/notizie/superbike-nicky-hayden-travolto-bici-riccione-ricoverato-prognosi-riservata-953e798c-3b07-11e7-935a-b58ef33c02e7.shtml

I've done a quick translation of it. (you can always do a google translate, JIC)

Quote
Major bicycle accident for Nicky Hayden. The US motorcyclist was riding a bicycle in Tavoleto (the provincial town that connects Riccione to Tavoleto, in the province of Pesaro and Urbino), in Misano Adriatico. The 2006 MotoGP World Champion on Tuesday at around 2pm was with a group of cyclists at an intersection with Tavoleto Street when he was hit by a Peugeot moving toward the coast: at the origin of the accident there was a yeld sign that was not observed. (I guess someone was supposed to yeld, it's not clear to me who). The American fractured his  pelvis and suffered skull trauma. He was then ransferred by Helicopter to Cesena. The car's windshield was damaged on the right side .The 35-year-old American, now in the Honda Team in Superbike, ended up against the windshield of the car and then on the asphalt. Stabilized on site, he was then transferred to the Nursing Hospital in Rimini with the highest gravity code. He was later transferred to the trauma center of the Bufalini di Cesena, the center of reference in the Region. The bicycle, completely destroyed, was thrown into a ditch with a violent impact on the right side of the car. The driver, a 30-year-old from Morciano di Romagna (Rn), stopped a few meters after the point of impact.

 I just read on Super Bike Planet if there is any good news to this it is that he survived the first 24 hours, which seem to be a benchmark for people with this kind of injuries.

 Changed the title to more accurately reflect what has happened . I've never had many heroes , public figures are often disappointing in real life . Nicky was and will remain a hero to not only me , but many of us , not so much because of his skills as a racer , but because of the way he treated others . He now moves into the pantheon that is populated by people like Mike Hailwood and Joey Dunlop , great racers , but incredible human beings.
RIP Champ  :bow:

This is all I received. I don't know the original source. I suspect more information will be forthcoming.

"On May 17, 2017, Hayden was hit by a car while riding his bicycle near Rimini, Italy.[41] The crash occurred at the intersection of Via Ca' Raffaelli and Via Tavoleto in Misano Adriatico. Hayden was traveling west on Via Ca' Raffaelli when he was struck by a car as he entered the street to cross Via Tavoleto. The driver of the car stated that he was on his way to work when Hayden passed through a stop sign and suddenly appeared in front of him. He was unable to avoid a collision.[42] The speed of the driver is not yet known but the impact of Hayden slamming into the windshield was strong enough to completely shatter it and dent down the roof of the car. Hayden's bicycle was found in the nearby ditch with its frame snapped in half.[43] According to Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport a security camera recorded the crash, displaying Hayden apparently not halting at a stop sign and possibly distracted by his iPod.[44]

Hayden was taken to Rimini hospital with severe injuries. At 6:00 p.m., four hours after the accident, Rimini hospital staff announced that he had been moved to the major trauma unit at the Maurizio Bufalini Hospital in Cesena for possible surgery. It was widely reported by mainstream media that Hayden was put into a medically-induced coma for surgery, which is not the case according to Hayden's father Earl. "Nicky was never placed into a coma nor has he received any surgery as his condition is too severe to operate."[45] Hayden sustained a traumatic brain injury as well as a broken femur, broken pelvis, and multiple fractured vertebrae.[46] Five days after the accident, Hayden died in the hospital on May 22, 2017.[47][48]"

I'll have to see proof of that to believe it.

Just read on the internet Nicky made $18 million road racing and I know he didn't blow it like most racers do. He was getting ready to get married and I figure he was preparing for his life after racing.  This just adds to the loss of his sudden demise.  :cry:

RIP, Nicky.  Met him briefly at 2016 MotoGP.  I was helping control access to some of the luxury suites, checking wristbands.  The crowd was heavy so I was just looking for wristbands and this guy walks up and I tell him, "sorry sir, you don't have the right wristband" he says nicely, "I don't need a wristband."  I look up and it's Nicky Hayden.  I say "Holy crap" and he just smiles as I wave him on through.  Nice guy.

The crash occurred at the intersection of Via Ca' Raffaelli and Via Tavoleto in Misano Adriatico. Hayden was traveling west on Via Ca' Raffaelli when he was struck by a car as he entered the street to cross Via Tavoleto. T

That is just outside the perimeter of Misano race track, where WSBK will be racing on 16-18 June.  The last round was at Imola, a little north but also in Italy, on 12-14 May, with one UK race in between before Misano.   

Italian traffic would be challenging on a bicycle, especially for anybody who might not be intimately familiar with the area.

Nicky was the last American World Champ.  I hope he's not the last.  By all accounts Nick was a gentleman and great ambassador of our country and motorcycling.  I'll miss him.
