Not too much buzz for the round from Brands Hatch as the bastoids at SPEED aren't showing the races until Tuesday. What a way to support the series. :mad:

No story to report, just results, but wonder what happened to Bayliss? I noticed that Jason Pridmore finished both rounds this week. Top Ducati in race two was in 6th place. Yowzir!

Did anyone see race 2? Speed decided not to show it today, so I did not get to see what happened or get the results of the 2nd 600 race. Jones finished 2nd on Race 1. From the video that I saw it did not look like that serious of an accident, but they only show 1 angle of the video on You tube.

The first race was great all the way to the end with the first 7 riders all within 2 seconds of each other. The Honda's have the power on top end and the poor lone Suzuki just could not keep up with them.

My condolence to the Jones family.:sad:

[ÜberDoober]

Both SBK races are on SPEED tomorrow, Tuesday starting at 10:00 local time.

I haven't kept up too well since yesterday afternoon and didn't even know about Craig Jones. That's too bad. Thanks for the heads up.

RIP Craig Jones. :(

I just caught a glimpse of a YT video of it (presumably the same angle you had). The bike behind him must have made contact with his head because, as you said, it looks pretty innocuous otherwise. Regardless, this is just terrible news.
