MOTOGP » Toseland black flag for missing 'harsh' penalty

James Toseland had a day to forget at Laguna Seca on Sunday, being black flagged on lap 11 after failing to serve a ride-through penalty for jumping the start.

I know everyone has their favorite rider band are willing to support that rider to the end but the fact remains that in MOTOGP the riders who finish out the top eight in the points standings are expendable. You may want to moan that Colin never won but guess what he brings the bike home and scores points and some podiums staying in the top eight almost every year he's been in Motogp. JT is a great rider but Motogp isn't his fit just ask Bayliss, just because you are champ in one class doesn't mean you will rule another.

There really are some seriously stupid people that post comments on here,most people on here know nothing about motorcycle racing as is perfectly clear.Some of you guys need to seriously grow up,maybe take some time out from dribbling and drawing circles in your school books and watch as many hours of race footage from the past 30 yrs as you can.It may educate some of you lame d1ckheads enough to understand a few things.I know James Tosleand hasn't had the best year so far,some of his races last year in his first year in Moto GP proved why he was there.You dont forget how to ride in a year,some changes in the bike and tyres dont suit him this year,it happens sometimes.No need to kick him out

(cont) of Moto GP.I still say that if Toseland went to another team,maybe one of the Honda teams,he would be inside the top 6 a lot more often.He's 11th so far in the championship,still a lot of races to improve the position and still capable of proving to other moto gp teams that he is good enough to be there.Moto GP is pretty boring at the moment with 3 guys capable of winning the championship and the same 3 guys winning races,apart from when Dani stays on then he's up there too.In order to keep TV interest in Britain there needs to be a rider from Britain,JT is a great rider,having a tough year but deserves to be there.If he stays i see him getting better,not worse.

@Killer maybe you did not do so well at School with the circles, math and what not, but if you look at the standings James Toseland don't stand any chance of improving. The riders ahead of him will beat him.

1 Valentino ROSSI.........151
2 Jorge LORENZO...........142
3 Casey STONER............135
4 Dani PEDROSA............92
5 Colin EDWARDS...........76
6 Andrea DOVIZIOSO........69
7 Marco MELANDRI..........61
8 Chris VERMEULEN.........61
9 Randy DE PUNIET.........58
10 Loris CAPIROSSI........56
11 James TOSELAND.........39

James competition all year is listed below. Daunting task.

12 Nicky HAYDEN...........39
13 Toni ELIAS.............37
14 Alex DE ANGELIS........36

Math is critical my Killer friend.

The Top 15 finishers are awarded points on the following scale:

25-20-16-13-11-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1.

James neesd to be a top 5 rider to even begin to overhaul the riders ahead of him. Otherwise gaining a 1 point advantage will not get him a good year end place. Even with the 11 race to to finish gallup.

So why aren't all you di*kheads giving Tony Elias a hard time? In case you hadn't noticed, he is on a Factory Honda and one won on Sunday, yet JT is beating him and constantly being torn apart. One reason, he's British!

"JT back to Supers to replace Carlos. At least Carlos had wins in the premier class. Anyone who thinks that JT will go back to Ten Kate and win another championship needs to look at their palms. Ten Kate won it's championship, on the best bike in the field when Ducati were on a bike that was a year old and no updates. JT won his first championship on the Ducati by just ploding along and after TB and CE left the championship. JT is way overrated"...

Now there is a classic example of someone who hasn't a clue what they are talking about and OBVIOUSLY didn't watch WSB... Even your god Baylis said that JT thoroughly deserved it that year! You idiots will do anything to trash JTR's talent!

Why would anyone bring up Elias in a story about Toseland???

I thought Repsol was the factory team???

Me thinks you are getting yourself too worked up to make any sense. Relax JT will be in the top 5 in BSB next year!!

As a Brit and a supporter of Toseland, I must admit that if you want to get yourself a P45 - this is the way to do it. He's been around long enough - but this is so unlike him. Get back to WSB where you can at least win races.....
