Toseland: I didn't fail in MotoGP..... Rest of the world: Yeah, you did.

After losing his Tech 3 Yamaha ride to 2009 World Superbike Champion Ben Spies, James Toseland will return to WSBK in 2010 - but he is adamant that he did not fail in the premier class, and suggests he has unfinished business there that he would one day like to complete

James Toseland insists that despite having been forced out of MotoGP before he felt his time was up, he 'certainly didn't fail' in motorcycling's premier class – as he hints that he has unfinished business there and hopes one day to return to set the record straight.

[...]

Though he finished inside the points in every race bar two, Toseland's best finishes were a trio of sixth places, whilst Edwards was rarely outside of the top seven and achieved a podium finish – cruelly, perhaps, on his team-mate's home turf at Donington Park. Respectively fifth and 14th in the final standings at the end of the campaign said it all – but the Yorkshireman is adamant that he has no regrets.

I am a fan of his, and I say he definitely failed lol

if he doesnt win the title right out he will be wearing rossi's tide helmet because everyone and their mother will be convinced he is washed up

ba-dump ching!

He was, what, 14th in the standings this season? If that doesn't spell fail, I don't know what does...


Well, except maybe K-A-W-A-S-A-K-I.

I wonder what excuse he will give if he does not win the tile on the same bike Spies did it on. I am sure he will not just come out and say "Ben is better than me." Good thing those two have not raced together on the same bike and same track.

Oh wait...they did.

^ Indeed.
