R.I.P. Craig.
I wasn't aware of the incident till now but here is the brief.
"British rider Craig Jones has died following his accident in Sunday's British round of the World Supersport Championship.
The 23-year-old from Northwich fell as he challenged for the lead in the race at Brands Hatch and was hit by a following rider.
The race was immediately stopped and Jones received medical attention at the circuit before being air-lifted to the Royal London Hospital for further treatment. However, he died in the early hours of Monday"

It was the panic in the commentator's voices that got me, they forgot they were on air and just kept saying, STOP STOP to the other riders, knowing they couldn't hear. I turned off after that.
