It still bugs me that Nicky Hayden was killed by a woman driving her car, illegally on her mobile phone, not concentrating on an ordinary highway. What a waste.
Actually attended the Sepang round in Malaysia just last weekend. Was watching the start from the roof of the pit garage building that afforded us a view of the riders initial braking for Corner 1, thru Corner 3 and beyond. Witnessed the 3 bike crash. All 3 riders (Quartararo, Binder, and Miller) escaped injury, but Jack Miller was very close to a very bad (or worse) injury. Race was immediately red flagged. Went back to the lounge and heard Miller was conscious. Tried not to think too much about Marco Simoncelli. Just was hoping for the 3 current riders. For sure, it was a huge loss for the whole racing community when Simoncelli lost his life. It’s a dangerous sport, but let’s stay alive.
Omobono Tenni, known as The Black Devil raced 239 motorcycle races before his death in 1948 at 42 while riding his Moto Guzzi in a Swiss race. He's the only italian to have ever won the Tourist Trophy of the Isle Of Man in 1937 on his Guzzi 250.
Hayden died when he was hit by a car while riding a bicycle in Italy. And, "wakai" means "young" in Japanese, and he did die young. Also, in 2000 I saw Anthony Gobert beat Hayden twice on the same day at Sears Point. I also saw Gobert pull a wheelie going down the corkscrew at Laguna Seca. He was good but I think he had a drug problem.
This is absurd…some drivers were passing away on old age…Nicky Hayden was killed by another car driver..and it is missing Olivier Chevallier killed at the Paul Ricard track (winner of at least one world gp in 350 cc)….Bill Ivy missing…

Doriano Romboni, Stefano Bianco, Joan Garriga, Mirko Giansanti
Good to have a video like this. RIP to all.

R.I.P. Jack Findlay, 1935/2007, Continental Circus!
The Danish female road racer Julie Brøndum Mortensen died 30 years old on 2 juli 2022 at Hockenheim Germany
As you can see, some of these riders dispelled the adage; "there are bold riders and there old riders, but there are no old, bold riders!"
😢😢😢😢

Gunnar Kalèn
Mike Hailwood died in a car on the motorway. Obviously just a list of dead people who have ridden bikes.
Important note: not all of them died at the races, like Nicky Hayden or Ángel Nieto.
Can you make a new video on MOTOGP riders we wish were dead? e.g. Rossi, Marquez brothers, almost all Spanish and Italian riders, ……..
Who else died on track, while they were racing, but Marco Simoncheli and Tomizawa san?
😔😔😔🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
ROSSI KILLED SIMONCELLI

MotoGp is as safe as a rocking chair compared to real road racing like the Isle of Man.
John surtees campeon en moto y despues campeon en la f1 gran campeon
Most of them are NOT moto GP riders,, they are GP riders. Moto GP is a modern term in the context of this list. Pffft Kids 🙂
Romboni?

❤❤❤❤❤
Doriano Romboni, Ralf Waldmann?
I am kato, i am born again
Te faltó en la lista Valentino Rossi, fallecido en 2013.
Doriano Romboni. Non è stato citato. Vittima di un incidente in una pista per Kart. 😭😭😭 Un ricordo nitido che rimarrà sempre dentro me. R.i.p.
Race in peace 😢
HEROES 🖤
Antonelli?
若井…大ちゃん…ノリック…(T_T)
They were riding at 90 years of age 😮
All of them Hero's
R. I. P Jungs! Leider kenn ich Euch nicht! Bin aufgewachsen mit Stewart, Niki Lauda, und Mario Andretti❤
They will live forever in our hearts and minds.
God bless them all❤❤❤
Santiago Hererro deserves mention here.

But one of them was 92! Was him still racing?
