Toseland Has another Nightmare Weekend

FastFreddy · Toseland Has another Nightmare Weekend

James Toseland had a bit of a mare this weekend after crashing in Superpole and then crashing in Race 2. In race 1 Toseland had an excellent start and fought really hard with Haga who he almost seem to give a nudge at once point due to Haga being in the way, Haga regained control and then eventually passed Toseland and broke away, Toseland lagged behind a bit as Haga, Bayliss and Biaggi all pulled away, apparently James traction control wasn't working due to the crash in superpole and it took him a few laps to re-learn how to ride the bike without traction control, once he got over this hump he was off after Haga, managing to close and pass him with 1 lap to go, Biaggi won the first race by over 7 seconds and Bayliss came home in Second with Toseland 3rd, so race 1 was job done, point lead extended from 41 points to 43. Race 2 started and Toseland had another excellent start coming upto second in the first corner before being swiftly relegated back to 4th with Corser right on his heals. Corser was right with Toseland when he crashed out on one of the slowest corners on the track. James slid of gracefully before re-mounting and finishing 11th with one of his Handlebars pushed down due to the crash. Bayliss won the second race but it looked as though Biaggi was on for a double until he made a mistake while almost on the back wheel of Bayliss. Toselands lead is now cut to 29 points so its still for the taking but with the luck he has had at the last 2 rounds you can't rule anything out. Just think if his bike hadn't blow up at Donington when he was on for the double he would be World Champion now. Magny Cour this weekend where it will all be decided.
