Toseland, too tough for Moto GP?
Discussion
Er, am I missing something but since when have racers had to, mirror, signal, manoeuvre? Isn't it a fact that 'overtaking' makes motorbike racing so much more enjoyable than F1? Seems the boys in top class are losing the plot a bit. Do they want indicators now aswell as an electrician to ride the bikes for them?
Toseland has had the balls to say if he thinks he's made a mistake on track [MCN, practice, hayden] but it's like he says, he's paid to get past people. I for one hope he continues to show determination, and not get hung up with all the handbag waving that's going on.

When it becomes dangerous though......
But, isn't 'racing' dangerous? Not trying to be flippant here but, maybe they should stop racing and just go for fastest qualifying lap as in 'superpole'. Then no complaints of overtaking/someone in the way etc. Now that would really pull the crowds eh? I know his manoeuvres are firm, but fair I think. GO ON JT!

Spot on Johno, agree.
Don't forget McWilliams on the podium at Donny the same year Dunlop sadly passed away on the 500 triple in Kenny Roberts team he also stuck it on pole once or twice, we've got the talent, look at Walker when he was the top scoring Kawasaki rider in WSB (had the win at Assen) and they sacked him over Nieto and Laconi due to the fact he did not bring the sponsorship in, thats in WSB Moto GP is a level above for sponsors.
One thing I will say is the 800's are so much closer to a WSB now, imagine the 500's every rookie would habve been highsided by now.
Going back to point of JT being to tough in GP's lets not forget Biaggi pushing Rossi out with his elbow, Rossi smashing into Gib on that last bend then wheeling across the line, Scwhantz and Rainey (class above) and so on.
Its a tough sport!
Spot on bloke, and all of what Johno said, can't believe we have a real tryer in GP and the blokes getting slated by some for 'overtaking'.Don't forget McWilliams on the podium at Donny the same year Dunlop sadly passed away on the 500 triple in Kenny Roberts team he also stuck it on pole once or twice, we've got the talent, look at Walker when he was the top scoring Kawasaki rider in WSB (had the win at Assen) and they sacked him over Nieto and Laconi due to the fact he did not bring the sponsorship in, thats in WSB Moto GP is a level above for sponsors.
