I was a cornerworker in the Corkscrew for that whole weekend and had an awesome view of Nicky's ride to victory in that race. He was in a class of his own during practice and qualifying as well, and I couldn't have been happier for him to get his first MotoGP win in his home country.
It's such a sad thing Nicky Hayden passed far before he should have. Such an amazing talent and class act as a person in general. At least he showed the world what he was capable of and how to present oneself to others. RIP, Nicky, I'm glad I had the opportunity to meet you on more than one occasion 🖤
Same here. My like to this video just popped up a year later and I still cry, This world is a little lesser without this wonderful talented young man around.
Seeing that tear on Nicky's face after the us national anthem showed how much he loved the sport and all the work he put in it to arrive on top, rest in peace my idol❤️
I remember being in the turn 2 stands at Sears Point when he was in early AMA and being amazed at how precisely he was hitting the same turn in point again and again. I knew he was going to motogp.
Rip Nicky I certainly miss these eras of motogp with young vale too I've watched vale for as long as I can remember born in 96 and can remember from the 03 season onwards
I watched this race, an emotional race of friendship and respect shown by Rossi to the two hosts in this race Nicky Hayden & Colin Edward, the ability of Rossi motorbike at that time was very able to catch up to both of them, but the sense of friendship overcame everything. Rest in peace Nicky, your wheels will always spin on each track.
Man, I miss the voice of Nick Harris. Nicky was flawless in this race, so sad to lose him (on a bicycle, fer christ sake). Ironic that for him, bicycling was more dangerous than MotoGP. Saw this one live. Brings back great memories.

9:27 and 26:21, awesome passes by Colin. I read where he said he never showed this line all weekend because he knew none of the European guys would know about it or expect it and he used it brilliantly.
Good eye, he did in fact use the same line. The first time I thought he did it just to leap ahead of the group or was forced into it to avoid a crash. But then he used it again 1 on 1 with Rossi to get just in front before they dropped into the corkscrew.
Gone, - but never forgotten! I followed him religiously, closer than any other rider. I just loved him as a person, and a competitor, a true class act. Witnessed in person many AMA race weekends, and both Laguna MotoGp victories! Was so lucky and honored to have met him and chatted 1 on 1 for 15 minutes at Sears Point Raceway. R.I.P. Nicky. Earl and Rose did a phenomenal job as parents to a great family. My heart breaks for them everytime I see the #69. His death crushed me; but his life gave me so much pure joy.
nobody made me care more about getting on a motorcycle as much as you Nicky. a 20 something yr old man riding around acting like I was nicky myself. never thought I'd see the day come when you weren't around racing. never thought I'd see the day you were gone. ill never forget Nicky Hayden. damn this world for taking him when it did. it shouldn't have been this way
In every country you will see Valentino Rossi Fans. He might have some fan in the US, but American are famous for their patriotic thing. This is why all you see in 2005 & 2006 is American flags. They took this very very serious... At this time you wouldn't see an American hold a 46 flag.. Especially Hayden and Edwards. They want Star-spangled Banner to be play. So they fought and they win.
RIP Nicky Hayden. I’m blessed to have witnessed an American win the Championship after a long hiatus. 2005 & 2006 years were good.
Remember #NickyHayden winning the #MotoGP race at Laguna Seca in 2005? Watch the whole race again for free here!
Yeah Nicky Hayden, the only rider became a champion by winning only 2 races in a season. He should be in the Guinness World Record Book.
Max Biaggi said it best: "In order to finish first, first you must finish!"
LOL Chris Johnson
I know this wheelie, it was used in a season's intro video in the past.
xxxxxxxx
I was there for that race, got 2 speeding tickets on my CBR600RR on the way home I was so happy. RIP #69. We miss him!
Laguna Seca is a tough track, and this is a great effort from Nicky Hayden, who crushes it. Local knowledge.

TNTinBC 😯
He was a fast one.
Is it true if you walk the track and try going up the corkscrew it's that steep you almost have to climb up on hands and knees?
Thank you Nicky, for getting me into MotoGP. You will be missed.
Miss clicked here, and stayed to watch this great race again, one of my favorite tracks. Dear Nicky, taken too soon 💕

RIP Nicky. Thanks for our childhood with my passed away cousin who always been your fans, I,m rossi fans back then.
Nicky was always so awesome to watch with that classic "backing it in" style. We love you Nicky!!!!
Thank you for the wonderful memories Nicky. Shed some tears watching this & you crossing that line. May you rest in peace. #FOREVERNICKY #69
Same here. My like to this video just popped up a year later and I still cry, This world is a little lesser without this wonderful talented young man around.
Man he sure is missed by so many.
Rest in peace Kentucky kid, you'll forever be my great American hero!
Watched this from the Turn 4 grandstands. I miss those days. RIP Nicky.
Great track for tv.
Seeing that tear on Nicky's face after the us national anthem showed how much he loved the sport and all the work he put in it to arrive on top, rest in peace my idol❤️
Nicky crushed everybody. It was a pleasure watching you race. RIP to the Kentucky Kid

I would remember you like that day. R.I.P. Champion
RIP Hayden... anyone here during covid19 pandemics and after 2020 motogp season?
Race in peace champ! Bummed today but forever will smile thinking of the Kentucky Kid..

Nicky Hayden can fly. The concentration on his face was huge, even though he was smiling for the fans before the race.
MrKupiakos on
Really hope MotoGP comes back to Laguna Seca soon!
+Joshua Sin its like imola for f1
+Joshua Sin Not sure, but i think its back for 2016.
+Darren griffin It's not. Indy was dropped and replaced with Austria. Only MotoGP stop in The States this year is Austin
The track can't afford the significantly increased race fee.
Carmelo and DORNA are as bad as Bernie - all they care about is $$$
geonerd So true and funny! MiniVintage 2002 Australia is the perfect example

R.I.P. Nicky❤ Thank you for being so great!
the corkscrew, probably the most terrifying yet most incredible turn to watch in all of motorcycle racing.
To think that the great Wayne Rainey has a house on the top of the corkscrew, with primetime view of this wonder
I was there at the race. Nicky regardless did a number on everyone. RIP brother.
Tears in my eyes at the end.
I was there! Good times, crazy traffic, RIP Nicky Hayden
RIP NICKY. You're physically gone.....but always alive in our hearts. Wherever you're I hope you're riding a bike CHAMP.
Thank you MotoGP channel, F1 should take note... I really appreciate the content on this channel, thanks again!

Great day at the track ! I was there with a worker pass as fundraiser for my daughters pre-school.
