WSBK » WSS: Huge Jones accident stops race

Horrific - still feel sick after watching - hope that Jonesy is ok and that his injuries arent too bad

i really hope he is ok that was awful and i just pray he is fine!!!!

Me too. It was horrific and I truly hope he is ok. Trying to find out more info but the weblink has gone down on worldsbk.com

Jonesy you little ****.. stop worrying me. Jeez man, you better get through this - you hear me? If you don''t, I''ll come and kick your ****.

Mate, thinking of you.

They said he was conscious, I hope they are right and his injurys are minimum.
I dont want to see an accident like that again, very nasty.
Get well soon.

Gaz are you nuts!? Of course he should be in the results. Had it been your run-of-the-mill crash that he walked away from, he still would have gotten second. The only difference would have been if he was healthy enough for a restart, we would not have been allowed to as seen after the first red flag. The last lap completed at the time the red flag was thrown is the results you end up with.

All the best to Craig and hopes that he is okay. Those were the most disturbing images I've ever seen during a race.

Just heard on Eurosport that he's regained consciousness. Looked like Pitty actually hit his head as Jones was on the floor. Sickening crash...

BikeSportNews dot com are advising that Craig is badly injured and has been airlifted to hospital and they will update us as soon as they have more information. Craig writes for BikeSportNews and they are very close to him.

This was a very fast crash not helped as Craig was clipped by Pitt, however I thought the incident was extremely badly handled by the live TV feed. They should have cut the shot much sooner than they did - Craig's friends and family do not need to see him helpless with bikes heading towards him at horrific speeds. Was the director not wanting to miss any subsequent crash that may have occurred as a result? Very bad call Mr Director.

Get well soon Jonesy, T x

Must agree with you Toe. He was lying in the middle of the track, and although not on the racing line, could have been even worse. Bad call from the director

Unfortunately BikeSport have just posted this latest:-

Britain's Craig Jones has been airlifted to hospital following a massive highside in this afternoon's World Supersport race at Brands Hatch.

The Parkalgar Honda man was dicing with Jonathan Rea for the lead then the rear tyre of his CBR600RR let go at Clark Curve and he was thrown across the track.

3.55PM: We have just been informed that Craig is in a pharmacological coma and is being transferred to the nearest neurological unit after suffering a severe cranial trauma.

The result of the race is curently sub-judice.
