Saw the report on the BBC News.

Can't understand how it could have happened. After all, he only stalled his bike on the Start Line, yet everyone seemed to crash into him and run over him.

The loss of a very talented young lad, I think.

A very sad event Crying or Very sad

Unfortunately it's very hard to see someone's stalled on the start line - you're concentrating on accelerating as fast as possible, and can only really see the few bikes in front.

The bike just behind will probably only be able to swerve just in time, same for the bike behind that. The bike behind that is now going pretty fast by the time they've got to the stalled bike.

I hope he enjoyed the life he had.

Thoughts are with his family.

Sorry to hear that, very sad.

Strange though I know a Chris Jones, made me look twice (on a serious note, not a sad joke)

I arrived at Cadwell just as the warm up lap was finishing, and heard about the incident over the PA..

saw the air ambulance land and leave but didn'tsee the actual accident...

is still a little upsetting to know you were there tho..

a great talent, but moreimportantly, what seems to be a really nice guy lost.

Sad
