An exhibit to tribute late MotoGP Legend Nicky Hayden will take centre-stage in the paddock at Mugello’s Italian grand prix this weekend.

Hayden sadly lost his life following a cycling incident near Misano last month, with the world championship continuing to pay respects and remember the 2006 MotoGP world champion.

Four of Hayden’s race bikes will be on display throughout the round this weekend, including a Repsol Honda, Ducati and Aspar Honda from his grand prix career, as well as his Red Bull Honda World Superbike racer.

Each of the American’s number 69 machines will be present on the grid following Sunday’s warm-up sessions when MotoGP will hold 69 seconds of silence in memory of the ever-popular longtime international.
