365 days have passed and still the same thrill, the same terrible feeling of a year ago. Listen to "Stuck In A Moment" by U2, which passed back and forth randomly in the iPod that Sunday afternoon last summer when I read the first and already desperate conditions of the poor news on Craig Jones after the frightening accident at the curve "Clark" in the race Supersport World Championship at Brands Hatch, it's always a pain. A year and still find it hard to accept that it can be really done so in a way so absurd, perhaps aimed at a superb race to be won just by Jonesy still chasing his first victory and was trying to take it home right in front of his audience.
few days after that bloody Sunday in an attempt to rearrange ideas to drop a line and remember it my way, I happened to pass by his personal page on a popular social networks and read as personal message "Living The Dream": hold back the tears was not easy, to lose his life for a dream seems absurd! We have maybe half that certainty is gone happy, doing what he loved most in the world, ride a bike, but the fact remains that paradoxical veil covering this sad story.
was not well known, I myself followed him recently and I like to remember his kindness in a stupid pose for pictures despite a sore arm, apparently in Monza, and that his funny smile crossed often in the Misano paddock of just over a month before round of the unfortunate English.
365 days and no one has dared to forget, but ... I think I've lost count of how many # 18 campeggino up suits, helmets and fairings of the current players in the world championships! Craig
Goodbye, Rest In Peace
