DORSET motorcycling star Brad Jones admitted he is unsure if he will return to racing following his high-speed crash last year.

Stalbridge man Jones has faced a long rehabilitation road after sustaining serious injuries at Brands Hatch in round three of the British Superbikes last July.

He was airlifted to hospital unconscious and with a fractured pelvis, broken ribs and punctures to both lungs.

However, the injury most concerning to doctors was a bleed on the brain.

This week, Jones announced on Facebook that his recovery had gone so well he had now received his driving license back.

While he has returned to action in his car, Jones was less certain about a return to his superbike.

He said: “Some good news this week as I am now fit to drive and have my license back which is a big step for me and it feels like another tick in the box.

“Still a few on going things with my lungs which I have to be mindful of at the moment when exercising etc. However, all things considered I have to be grateful!

“And to answer a frequently asked question, ‘will you race again?’ The answer to that is I’m not 100 per cent sure.

“I need to ride a bike again at some point this year and see how I cope with the speed and my spacial awareness at speed, then from there we will see how things go.

“However, I will be racing my push bike if things allow me to push my body etc.

“You will still see me in the paddock a bit but for now as a spectator.

“I must just add, I want to thank my family, friends, BSB medics, everyone that is still playing a part with my recovery and all of you for the ongoing support.

“Physically I am feeling good now with thanks to RustyPT and Aaron from The Physio Station, so a sincere thank you to them.

“For now, it’s time to earn my keep at work and continue on the recovery road.”

Round one of the 2022 British Superbikes season begins at Silverstone on Friday, April 15.
