Transferred yesterday afternoon to King’s College Hospital in London following a fall at the Clarke Curve during the opening stages of Race 1 at the British Superbike at Brands Hatch, Brad Jones is now in a medically induced coma due to head, pelvis, and chest injuries. At his debut season in the top class of the overseas championship, the 2019 and 2020 vice-champion of the British SS600 will remain under observation during the next 24/48 hours. As they wait for the remaining two races of the weekend, the well wishes of the entire BSB paddock are for the young 23-year-old and his family, hoping for good news from the London hospital.
