New thread for announcements of fatalities in motorcycle racing. Please do me a favour and keep the announcements here rather than in the respective series thread.

You are welcome, Kals.
I'd have made the thread sticky too but somehow this option is missing from my mods control panel.

It is with great regret to announce the passing of Dario Cecconi, 38, from Italy who had a spill during the last lap of the Senior Support race at the Tandragee 100 road races last weekend. Dario was announced as critically ill shortly after the incident and passed away last night. He had a special relationship to the Country Antrim course and came up with his van every year since 2012. The road racing family loses one of its big supporters.
Condolences to his family and friends.
Rest in peace, Dario

RIP Nicky 
Valencia 2006 is how I'll remember Nicky. As a steadfast Rossi fan I have to admit seeing him and his father post race was one of the happiest images in motorsport, similar to Jenson and John Button at Interlagos in 2009.
Ride fast #69 we'll miss you
