James Toseland claims fifth on the grid for the US Grand prix, team-mate Colin Edwards struggles over bumps.

"But it has been a tough weekend so far and I'm expecting a tough race tomorrow. I don't remember the track being this bumpy but on the qualifiers when you need to go so much faster, I could barely see where I was going. My head was bouncing around all over the place on the bumps.

"We have been working hard to change the bike to try and find some more grip but everything just feels really rigid. I'm just hanging on in some places and in the last two sections I'm terrible. It is not through a lack of trying because my guys have been working incredibly hard as usual.

"But we've taken weight off the front, put more weight on the front and put weight on
the rear, but nothing has really improved the situation. Hopefully I can get a good start to try get away with the leading bunch, because I really want to get a good result for my home fans. I will be giving it everything I've got that's for sure."
