Members of Hayden’s family have travelled to Italy to be at his bedside, while riders from across the sport have been paying homage to the 35-year-old American.

Valentino Rossi said:

It's a great shame because Nicky is a great rider, a great talent, a world champion and always at the top, but especially a very good guy. Coming from a good family of racers, from his father to his two brothers, always a good guy, always smiling, so it's very bad. But everybody, we hope for the best.
