Watching that race it was clear that Craig Jones was riding his heart out against faster bikes, taking big risks for the home win, for his career, for his fans, for his sport, for our sport, for our entertainment - We love motorbike racing because of riders like Craig Jones - thanks from us all and R.I.P.

Gutted. Just watched the race, crash wasn't so bad. Didn't want to replay it though to take another look. Wish they hadn't done the close up - was glad when the commentator said "enough, seen enough". Jumped online to see what the diagnosis/prognosis was and sad to see the obituary (only just watched it and had heard nothing all week).
RIP and congratulations on your second place. You will be missed. Somehow I can't bring myself to watch the 2nd superbike race.
Condolences to family, friends, team mates and competitors.
