James Toseland World Superbike Champion James Toseland’s Tec 3 moves to Moto GP 2008, But will he have what it takes to win or even be in the top ten..? Troy Corser said if they move to a one tyre rule that’s fine with James, At this present time he’s not afraid to break till the last seconds and park it where ever needs be. Having said that although he may be able to ride the bike I’m pretty sure he won’t be as fast as he thinks he will be, he is going to have to change his riding style dramatically. He’s completed the job WSB and now moves on to Moto GP With team mate Collin Edwards so we wish him all the best. With James moving to Tec 3 Yamaha they are the second string factory team, he may get lucky and grab a few podium positions and to expect anything more than that is asking a little too much in his first year Found it extremely difficult this year with handling problems and his tyres was no Valentino Rossi match for Bridgestone’s. No one is expecting him to win for Tec 3 I think his aim next year is to be noticed and to work on a move to the works Yamaha. One last Food For Thought for you out there, the record of world superbike champions moving to Moto GP is not good until Bayliss won in Valencia in a one off guest ride,.(after 3 seasons in Moto GP) No superbike champion had ever won a race In Moto GP so even if he gets 2 or 3 podium finished he will have done extremely well. Certainly one to watch out for.! Article by John fothergill
