The race took place at the Oulton Park circuit in Cheshire, England.
The remainder of the meeting was cancelled as a result of the incident, including the final race of the opening round of the British Superbike Championship, which is supported by the Supersport series.
“Exiting turn one, Old Hall corner on the first lap, there was a chain reaction incident involving 11 riders falling,” MVSR said in a statement. “The race was immediately stopped and trackside medical services deployed.
“Due to the extreme severity of the incident and ongoing medical intervention, the remainder of the Bennetts British Superbike Championship event was cancelled.
“This catastrophic accident has tragically resulted in two riders being fatally injured, and another sustaining significant injuries.”
Jenner was treated by medical personnel at trackside before being taken to the circuit medical centre, where further attempts were made to resuscitate him. He died as a result of “a catastrophic head injury.”
Richardson was also treated at trackside and in the medical centre. He was then taken to Royal Stoke University Hospital with “severe chest injuries” but died before arrival, MVSR said.
Cheshire Police and MVSR confirmed that they are investigating the incident with the Motorcycle Circuit Racing Control Board and the coroner.
Five riders — Carl Harris, Max Morgan, Cameron Hall, Freddie Barnes and Morgan McLaren-Wood — sustained minor injuries in the crash. Lewis Jones, Corey Tinker and George Edwards were also involved but were uninjured.
The Oulton Park event was the first round of the season in both championships. Luke Stapleford won the opening Supersport sprint race on Sunday, with defending champion Jack Kennedy in second.
In the Superbikes championship, Bradley Ray took victory in the first race on Sunday before Leon Haslam took his first win since 2018 in the sprint on Monday.

Former Ohio State defensive coordinator Jim Knowles said he'd still be with the Buckeyes if the school offered him a contract extension earlier.Knowles became the highest-paid defensive coordinator in college football after the 2024 season when he moved to Penn State. The Pennsylvania native told ESPN that he “would not have explored or considered other options” if a contract extension happened before the national title game.

Ranking the least impactful NFL Draft classes for 2025 season: NFC foes share real estate on the list
Getty Images It is generally bad practice to expect significant early contributions from a rookie class. Franchises make selections on different timelines, which means that some draft picks are expected to contribute immediately whereas others are of the developmental variety. It is natural for fans to be curious about the new faces on the roster. Today, I take a look at which classes I believe will be the least impactful in 2025 rather than taking a long-term view. Interestingly, Chris Trapasso broke down his list of what he considers the ten most impactful draft classes and there were some overlapping teams; a reminder that two people can take in the exact same information and come away with different opinions. Without further ado, a personal list of the draft classes expected to make the least impact on the upcoming season:Round 1, pick 6: […]
