A lot of sad news lately. Total surprise, always seemed like a positive upbeat guy such a bummer.

Other then his accent, he was a great ambassador of the sport.

Sad news indeed.

I was at Laguna Seca in 2005 when he won his 1st MotoGP.  It was quite a day and he was great with the fans.  He's the last American MotoGP champion, and given the sad state of road racing in America, will likely keep that title for many years to come.

I am a big fan of his and have followed the sad event of his bicycling accident in Italy closely.  Saw him win at Laguna Seca.  He was a friendly fellow and a dedicated competitor.
