SBK: Nicky Hayden, the final journey home today

It will be his final journey to the United States. During the day, Nicky Hayden's body will leave the mortuary at the Bufalini hospital in Cesena for the trip home. Following the death of the American rider on Monday evening, mother Rose and brother Tommy expressed their desire to return to America as soon as possible.

On Tuesday, the public prosecutor's office in Rimini arranged for the repatriation of the casket, before the rider's family members agreed to organ donation, respecting the wishes of #69.

Nicky Hayden's body will leave Italy today for the United States and then Owensboro, in Kentucky, where the funeral will be held.
