Craig Jones

Craig Jones on his Motorcylce

Reaching for the top, climbing the ladder. Craig Jones loved competition. He was a very skilled motor racer. Every year he got better and was tasting success.

Last week he sadly fell off his motorcycle in the heat of the game. The images we have of that speak for itself. It was a horrible accident at the circuit of Kent.

Driving Parkalgar Honda, Craig suffered head injuries at the Kent circuit when, chasing leader Jonathan Rea on lap seven of a restarted race, he slid out at Clark Curve and was left exposed on the track. He was then hit by Ten Kate Honda rider Andrew Pitt, who tried desperately to avoid him but was left with nowhere to go.

Sadly, we just read that he was declared dead by the hospital. He went for the top, but sadly fell in his battle. We will never forget this British motor hero.

    I watched him race regular. He was incredible. We’ll miss everthing he added to the sport.
