If any of you saw the WSB yesterday and the massive accident Craig Jones had, he died this morning in hospital from head injuries.

We've lost another local hero, RIP.

Jesus, that's awful.

Here's the crash - I've seen what appeared to be much worse. Poor guy.

I've just posted this but it's got lost in t'internet world!

I had recorded the racing from Brands and watched the WSS race last night, it was a horribly nasty crash.
He would probably have got away with it, too a degree, if Pitt hadn't clipped his head and sent him spinning, although i have to say that there is no way blame can be laid at Pitts door as he had absolutely no way of missing him, he must be so gutted about what has happened.

Craig Jones was fantastic to watch, sometimes a bit lairy but always looked mostly in control, he was a real talent and he had desire and talent to burn. By all accounts he was a top bloke too.

I'm quite gutted about this but nowhere near as gutted as his family and friends must be this morning, my condolences to them.

The video has been removed.

Just as well. Must have been a horrific crash.

Deepest condolonces, even though I don't really follow motorcycle racing. One life lost is one too many.
