James Toseland
James Toseland
PERSONAL DETAILS
NAME: JAMES TOSELAND
TEAM: YAMAHA TECH 3
NATIONALITY: BRITISH
DATE OF BIRTH: 5/10/1980
MARRIED: SINGLE.
2008 Makes MotoGP debut for Yamaha Tech 3 alongside Colin Edwards.
2007 Stayed with Ten Kate - still Honda's leading WSBK team, now backed by Hannspree - and immediately proves his title intentions with 2-1 race finishes at the Qatar season opener. While his rivals produce on/off rides during the first half of the season, Toseland finishes off the podium just twice in 12 races to take a solid title lead.
Yamaha's Noriyuki Haga and star rookie Max Biaggi then fought back during the second half of the season - when Toseland suffers some accidents and misfortune - and the last round began with the top three riders - Toseland, Biaggi and Haga - covered by 33 points.
Toseland, desperate to leave WSBK as a double world champion, proved his nerve by winning his final Superpole appearance - but saw all his advantage undone after tangling with Lorenzo Lanzi at turn one of race one. In what was close to a worse case scenario, Toseland went spearing off track but - with his heart in his mouth - managed to keep his Honda on two wheels and rejoin at the back of the field.
James went on to fight his way up to seventh, just one place behind an off-form Biaggi, while Haga took the win. The world title thus came down to the final race of the year, which Toseland began 17 points clear of Haga. The Yamaha star was on peerless form at Magny-Cours, duly winning race two for his second double of the season, but a safe sixth place for Toseland gave him the world crown by just two points.
From the 25 races, Toseland took 8 wins, 14 podiums and 2 pole positions. A long overdue first double victory was claimed in front of his home fans at Brand Hatch, where he also announced a move to MotoGP in 2008.
2006 With Chris Vermeulen moving to MotoGP, Toseland takes the Australian's Winston Ten Kate Honda ride and rebuilds his reputation with a breakthrough season – which he finishes second only to dominant champion Troy Bayliss. Takes three race wins from 12 podiums, opening up the chance of a MotoGP ride with d'Antin Ducati for 2007. Toseland reluctantly turns the ride down and commits his immediate future to WSBK, Ten Kate and most importantly Honda, with whom he eventually hopes to enter MotoGP - preferably as a double World Superbike champion in 2008.
2005 Stays with Factory Ducati team, but endures a tough title defence (not helped by a huge pre-season testing highside and ever more competitive four-cylinder machines) and doesn't finish on the podium until round four. Saves season by winning race two at his home Silverstone round soon, but unable to win again. Ends year with seven podiums on way to fifth in championship. He and team-mate Regis Laconi replaced by Troy Bayliss and Lorenzo Lanzi for 2006.
2004 Moves to the factory Ducati Fila team to spearhead their WSBK challenge, taking the title ahead of team-mate Regis Laconi.
2003 Stays with HM Plant Ducati in WSBK - claims first win in Germany which, together with eight other podiums puts him third in championship behind Hodgson and Xaus.
2002 in World Superbike Championship with HM Plant Ducati.
2001 13th in World Superbike Championship with GSE Ducati.
2000 12th in British Superbike Championship with Vimto Honda.
1999 11th in World Supersport Championship with Castrol Honda.
1998 18th in World Supersport Championship with Castrol Honda.
1997 Winner of the British Honda CB500 Cup and 3rd in the British Supersport Championship.
1994 - 1996 Began Road Racing career.
1989 - 1993 Trials and Motocross.

James Toseland frustrated in 13th
By Matthew Birt
17 October 2008 11:05
James Toseland’s return to the Sepang circuit where his MotoGP career began 11 months ago started in frustrating fashion today as the British rider ended the opening day of free practice for the Malaysian GP in 13th.
Toseland was 10th this morning as he reacquainted himself with the Sepang circuit on which he tested twice during a hectic winter testing schedule.
The 28-year-old, who finished a brilliant sixth in Phillip Island earlier this month, said: “This track is so long and technical that it took a bit of time to get back into the swing of things and the test in January seemed like a long time ago.
"I felt pretty comfortable this morning but we never really moved forward with the setting this afternoon and that is a bit frustrating. We have got an idea on how to improve the bike for tomorrow because I’m struggling on corner exit.
"When I’m mid-corner and getting on the throttle, I’m struggling with some feel from the rear to get off the corner. At a track like this where there are a few bumps it is making it feel twice as bad. There are also a lot of corners where you accelerate from slow speed, so rear feeling is crucial.
"I can do high 2.03s and I’m about three-quarters-of-a-second off, so it has not been a disastrous day

James is confident in Bridgestone's 2009 Plan
Source motorcyclenews.com
http://www.motorcyclenews.com/MCN/sport/sportresults/mcn/2008/October/20-26/oct2208-toseland-confident-in-bridgestone/
British rider James Toseland is confident that Bridgestone’s decision to slash the tyre allocation by 50 per cent will work in next season’s MotoGP world championship.
The Tech 3 Yamaha rider, who will have to wait until the end of November to make his Bridgestone debut in Jerez, believes the reduction to just 20 tyres per rider can be a success under the new single tyre rule.
For 2009, riders will only have two different front tyre and two different rear tyre compounds to select from per race, with eight fronts and 12 rears making up the total under proposals finally agreed after much debate during last weekend’s Sepang GP.
At present, riders can have as many as 40 tyres, including qualifiers.
Valentino Rossi and Casey Stoner initially slammed the number, saying it would be inadequate, but further talks with Bridgestone helped calm their fears.
Toseland, one of a few riders to have experience a single tyre rule from his World Superbike days, told MCN that Bridgestone was obviously confident in the quota to submit the proposal.
“If they are confident enough to only give that amount then they are confident that the product will be good enough or have something across the board people will be happy with. They must be confident with what they have got. Because if people are a bit wary of that, and it will be Bridgestone people, they will know if that amount is enough as it will be them taking the heat if its not enough.
"The Bridgestone boys will have a bigger say than me because I don’t know what range they have been working in from track to track to get the grip.
"I’m sure the Bridgestone riders are going to be a bit wary of it, because some of them might have six or seven specs that they find hard to get working now, and if its down to two then it becomes a bigger issue. As long as the quality control is there then its fine by me.”
