Two motorcycle racers have died after a crash involving 11 bikes during a British Supersport Championship race at Oulton Park in Cheshire.


Owen Jenner, 21, was treated trackside and taken to the circuit's medical centre, but organisers said he died from a "catastrophic head injury".

Shane Richardson, 29, sustained severe chest injuries and was also given treatment at the scene.

He was transferred to Royal Stoke University Hospital but died before he arrived.



A third rider, Tom Tunstall, 47, is at the same hospital with what organisers called "significant back and abdominal injuries".

Five others from the British Supersport race were taken to the track's medical centre but didn't need hospital treatment.

Motorsport Vision Racing, which runs the race series, said the crash happened on the first lap as riders exited turn one at Old Hall corner.

It said there was a "chain reaction" with 11 riders coming off their bikes.



Jenner, from Crowborough, East Sussex, was the 2024 British GP2 champion and was signed to Rapid Honda.

New Zealand superbike racer Richardson was in the Astro JJR HIPPO Suzuki team sponsored by Hippo waste removal service

Your second option is already impossible, but hurry, you still have time to do the first one!! Good choice, that leaves Shane free to me.
