Haven’t seen anything posted so thought I’d ask?

Had a Huge crash at the British GP today on one of the biggest jumps.

Did not look good at all

He'll be back, he's a hard working lad. Mostly people say: You will come back stronger to cheer someone up, but in Jed' case I believe he will be back stronger. He will search for things he can do that will make him better while he is resting. Things like looking footage from the best in line choices and maybe also look at his own footage to see what his own weaknesses and look to get better. That is how motivated he is.

The way he crashed I have to think the bike locked up or cut out. The jump face was pretty smooth and no way it goes that wrong from bad judgment.

Massive shame, he was having a breakout year for sure

That looks nasty but I have to say that picture calls for the “hey look, I’m a bird” caption if I’ve ever seen one!

Crikey, how many of those crashes have we seen in GPs the last few years. Seems like at least once a season?

Bike locked up. Heard it go pop on the take off and next thing he was flying though the air. Maybe the worst jump on the track for it to happen. People have done ankles before on that jump just from coming up short or OJ'ing slightly. Sucks because he's been flying this season

Man that sucks, he was having such a good year. He has top 5 speed. His starts let him down because hes such a big guy on a 250. Surely hes shown enough to get a ride next year in mx2?

I felt sick watching him jump out the front door - was hoping he'd make it over the 3rd landing at least but ploughed into the back of it. Was horrible to watch.

As much as i like Matterly, they need to lay off with the jumps a bit - i've seen so many horrible crashes on the tripple over the years as well. There are only 2 straights on the track without jumps, start straight & pit lane straight.

That's correct, someone in his circle told me something went wrong with his bike. It either cut out or some failure of a sort.

Im not sure what age he is, but if he is not to old for the age rule he should have a ride next year. The guy is a lock for top 10 in the championship with hopes for top 5

The team said on Instagram that there was no technical issue with the bike, but everyone around me heard it pop on take off. It was clear as day, something happened to the bike

hunter lawerence even commented on it saying that he knew the flaggie on the jump and even he said the bike went boom on the upramp. Would be a shame if the team tried to cover up the issue.

Look at the comments made on this pic that everyone claimed that there was a loud pop on the upramp but the team straight up said no technical issues?? Why not come up with a possible reason like the bike just had a miss and stuff like that can just happen given circumstances?
