Re: Craig Jones. Bad news

I may give it a go as you say till the last lap. Don't know why but I'm more saddened by his loss than any other this year, Similar to Ollie Bridewell last year and Nagai in WSB.



we should pay some heed to that comment although its of no great comfort to those mentioned-Motorcycle racing is considered the most dangerous sport-I dont care what those F-wits say about jumping off a glacier on a snow board-surfing in a storm,you know the so called X-treme Sports,whatever. Riders like Craig, Ollie and Yoshimoto(sorry if I spelt it wrong) and those before them knew the risks and were happy to take them.However someone here already said the tracks and techno how are so good these tragedies are rare. (Why only last year Robin Harms had a biggy at Monza(I think) I didnt believe he walked away)They are so, thats why they get a lot of media interest. Im sure these guys are up there and say ok-shit happens: lets rock on and see if and what we can do to improve things-I saw the vid and it happened the same way as a mate of mine years ago(ie the high-side)-he didnt survive. My only reason for this bleat is prehaps Brands with riders imput should look at that corner and see if there is anything that can be done to improve it. Me and no doubt loads out there wont forget Sunday-but Im sure we wont watch races and say" oh yea thats were so an so crashed an died". I will just delete the last lap but will remember it as a brill race with brill riders
