In the MCN this week Valentino Rossi claimed that James Toseland could be the most successful Moto Cycle Racer from the UK since the late great Barry Sheene, high praise indeed from possibly the greatest motorcycle racer ever. Toseland had his first test on his new bike this week and finished in 10th place today after completing a bunch of laps. He was also helped a little by Team mate Colin Edwards who showed James the right way around the track and the correct line. Edwards said it took him 3 years to learn this track so if he could give James a bit of help then it was fine by him and good for the Team.
