WSBK » 'A battle Craig Jones couldn't win'

Yes Ducman, even in America we are feeling the loss of Jonesy. Reading the article and post make me extremely gutted all over again. He was a star of the future for WSBK. God Bless him and his family that they may find the strength to overcome this tragedy.

You gave it your all , anyone like me who was there at brands was captivated by how you were riding.Thats how you'll be remembered, a racer through and through.
Tommy and james, words can't describe how we all feel about you,next time you both ride wear that 18 with pride.
Jonesy is up there waiting for the racing to continue.....

My deepest sympathies to all of Craig''s family and close friends''!...Craig was a personal hero of mine when he started racing the 2004 Daytona 600 in the BSS series....I am deeply saddened by the news and wish his family my hopes for peace and comfort through this tragic time....He will remain fondly in my thoughts and a true personal Champion in my memory for a long time......God bless and Keep you now, Craig........Cheers, Tommy Oates

I don't think there is a racer or rider (like me) who isn't shaken by this incident. How easily his life was lost. The comments reported from his family are very touching. My sympathies go to them all. I hope they take comfort from the fact that he didn't suffer and he died doing what he loved in front of millions of admiring fans. Not many of us mere mortals can wish to go like that.

My thoughts go to his family and especially his mum.

I've always followed Craig's career from the earliest days, what with him coming from the same part of the world as me.
What impressed me was the way he came back from his big Oulton Park crash many years ago (he was 16 at the time of that accident) i think this would have taken the edge of many a racers competitiveness, but not Craig, it seems it made him more determined to suceed.
I knew he was good years ago and being at the front of the WSS races proved this, i was really looking forward to him having a brilliant career and have the true potential to be a world champion of some standing, now that dream will not become a reality and we must mourn the loss of a gifted young rider. RIP.

A very sad loss.

I was at the back end of the GP circuit on Sunday and was completely unaware of the severity of the accident.

I would like to hope that a memorial ride-out is organised, possibly ending at Brands Hatch with a parade lap.

I think it would be very fitting, and I'm sure tens of thoudands would support it.

RIP Craig.

I lost my son at 22 years old last year to a motorcycle accident. I know exactly how Craig''s parents feel. I taught Rory to ride at 8 years old. He also lived and breathed bikes.
My thoughts are with everyone who knew and loved Craig.

Only this season have I been keeping a closer eye on WSS and, in particular, Craig Jones. I still cannot believe that such a great young talent has been taken from us in such a terrible accident. It still brings tears to my eyes to read the messages here and elsewhere. I cannot imagine what his family and girlfriend are going through, my thoughts are with them at this time. God bless all and RIP Craig.

God Speed Craig Jones! We will miss you ...

The haunting image of that terrible crash will live with all who love motorcycle racing for eternity. A great talent and a wonderful person was lost in a moment, but he will live on in the hearts of us all. I hope that Craig's family and girlfriend can gain strength from everyone who admired him so much. My thoughts also to Andrew who I'm sure will be devastated, he must continue though that's what these heroes do and they are all heroes to me. Love to you all.
