'Worst of the season' for Tech 3 at Sepang

“I just didn't have any grip on the rear and in the wet the problem was on corner entry to the apex. So my corner speed was just way too slow to make a decent lap time. I am not out there just riding around at the back.

“I was doing my absolute best and trying my hardest but it was impossible for me to go any faster with the feeling I had. It has been a tough weekend but I'll look to bounce back and finish strongly in Valencia."

Toseland will test for the factory Yamaha WSBK team at Portimao this week, ahead of his 2010 return to the championship.

Team manager Herve Poncharal is to investigate what went so badly wrong for Tech 3 at Sepang.

“It has been a very disappointing weekend and easily the worst for us this season,” said the Frenchman. “We were struggling in the dry so I can't say I was unhappy to see the rain because I thought this would give us a chance of improving our results. Unfortunately our performance was even worse in the rain and we can't be happy. Now we have to understand why we struggled so much this weekend.”

    I agree with the view that the team don't know what they are doing,something i've said all along.I've never thought the technical staff at Tech 3 are that good.Toseland had a crap weekend to put it mildly but he has a reputation for giving good feedback to his crew even if his limited experience in moto gp is a bit of a shortfall,shame they can't relate that into getting the bike sorted out better.He started the weekend with no grip from the back and ended the weekend with a problem that wasn't close to being sorted out.Ben Spies is bringing his own crew with him next year who have worked with him for some time,i don't see him having the same problems next season with set up.
