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.
