Hats off to Toseland

[PhotoMotard]

He was pretty damn good at Brands Hatch today.

Wish Bayliss hadn't crashed in race 1. He's now 100 points behind Toseland in 4th place. We'll see how the rest of the season goes...

Anxious for the next race.

Toseland was on fire. Too bad Haga went down in race 1 as well. Had a good showing in race 2 though. Toseland proven to be too much in the end.

Welcome to the end of your career when you move to Tech 3 Yamaha James

End? It's just the beginning really. Many riders have moved up from the satellite teams to the factory rides (including the current leader in the world championship).

He's going to have to step up his game for sure, but I don't care what team it's for, if you aren't in GP and you get a chance to go....you should.

[konichd]

With James talent he should be on a better ride than that. Tech 3 is definately the last place team in the padock by a long ways. I'm honestly suprised he didn't take Malandri's spot on Grenishi honda, that would have been a much better fit for James.

I think that they are saving the Gresini Honda spot for Rybo. We might need to up the ante on the contract.

Toseland should've gotten Colin Edwards spot and Colin can go back to AMA.

[albinohickey]

Tech3 should be a much better team in 08'. They'll be on either Stones or Mich and will be getting full factory support. Like in the Fortuna days.

I turned them down, I have a verbal contract with Angry Marmot and I plan on honoring my word.

The Europeans might have a heart attack if "Angry Marmot" was racing in MotoGP...

Or is that an aneurysm...

or is that a stroke...

or is that brain infarction...

or is that NASCAR?

They might have them all at the same time . . . except NASCAR.

the only way JT could have stayed on a honda was for ten kate to move to gp, hrc and JT have a checkered past.
i think he will do well on the tech3 bike, yammahaha is grooming him and lorenzo to fill the void after rossi leaves.

[txrc51fatboy]

oh and to anyone who thinks bayliss and his 1200cc duc will have the sbk champoinship just handed to them, better think again. bayliss has cracked you can see it in his eyes he is done, more done than corser.
nitro nori will step up and win a championship or 2

[konichd]

Bayliss has one bad race and he's done?

JT will be joining WSBK in 2010 after falling on his face for 2 seasons in GP

[txrc51fatboy]

he has had more than one bad race, and it can be blamed on an underpowered bike. xaus and lanzi have been finishing ahead of him lately, both on last yrs bike.

Can't be as bad as Hopkins going to Kawi...

[konichd]

Why are we teammates?

Because I can still ride a Suzuki and you can still ride a Kawi
