Any one who follows bike racing will know of Craig Jones one of our top road racers , in the World Supersport class , he was involved in a freak accident while contesting for the lead at Brands Hatch yesterday.

Sadly he succumbed to his injuries in the early hours of today, really unlucky and a great shame , my thoughts are with his family and friends.

A great sport but people sometimes make the ultimate sacrifice.

Craig Jones 1985 - 2008

RIP

Sad loss of a great lad. RIP

Very sad

Just watched the crash... talk about a complete freak accident. I've seen much worse where they've just dusted themselves off and walked away.

RIP!

Ah... looks like the bike right behind him strikes his head / neck.

It did Scott, he died last night from that at 1am.

I've just been talking to a mate of his Dad's at the Bike shop I go to in Northwich...

Such a shame....... 23 years old........... RIP

I watched that on the telly, It didn't really look that bad a crash, just goes to show how fragile life is.

Really sad loss to his family, friends and the sport.
