Current report after his off at Brands from Simon Buckmaster team manager.
"Craig was treated trackside by the medical staff before being transferred by air-ambulance to the Royal London Hospital. He has a serious head injury and the doctors have placed him in a pharmacological coma to stabilise his condition. We will not know any more for at least 24 or 48-hours - all our thoughts are with him and his family. I would like to thank the medical staff for their attention and also the well-wishers for their thoughts. We shall update the news on Craig's condition as and when we can."

It's very very sad, but it did not look good when he went down the track like he did, it's always scary when you see an accident like that.
We get so used to seeing people coming off at 180 or so then running to the bike and trying to restart. Something like this is a real reminder of how dangerous it really is.
Andrew Pitt most also be feeling really bad I suppose.

My condolences to his family.

I was hoping he was just knocked out, but the signs were bad when they took so long to move him, then they didn't fly him out but flew the doctors in!


Put a cloud over the weekend!

Yes it looked bad at the time, I didn't realise how bad.
My condolences.
