Toseland confirms move to MotoGP

Well that’s great

He has a bike that can do the business. He’ll have a chance.

That’s good news, but they don’t really make it clear whether he’s going to Fiat Yamaha or Tech 3.

I hope it’s the Fiat team, but I imagine it’ll actually be the Tech 3 team.

I think you will find that it is Tech3

That’s what all the rumours had been about anyway

ARGGGH Are you sure?

The article says ‘factory’ ride which normally means proper support or in this case Rossi’s team mate.

Rumours have been floating about that Tech3 wanted him AND Edwards, they will swap tyres to Michelin and have exactly the same machines as Valle.

All will be revealed in the fullness of time

I have 2 things to say about this…

YAY!

…and…

PHWOARH!!!

Thats 4 things

Have you decided whether you’re coming on Sunday ?

You don’t read our news service mate?

I can’t believe JT has gone for this. They’re a rubbish team. If Colin can’t do it on a Factory M1, how can JT do it on a two-bit M1 team? He’ll languise at the back and end up back in WSB before two years.

I could get my conspiracy theory head on and suggest that this may have something to do with the plans Ten Kate have to enter MotoGP in 2009

Think she’s coming already

Could’nt agree more…

Should’ve waited for factory team,even if it meant another year in WSB

from what i’ve read the tech3 team will be getting full factory support and won’t be on dunlops anymore. if ce is also in the team it may take some pressure off toseland to get good results in his first year. there is also talk that lorenzo will be bring some fontuna sponsorship to yamaha so not too sure how the yamaha teams will line up.

From Crash.net

“Toseland is contractually bound to say nothing about next year’s team arrangements at this stage, but we have to believe that Tech 3 will follow Valentino’s Fiat Yamaha team to Michelin tyres – or maybe make the leap to current pacemakers Bridgestone. It’s also hard to believe that Toseland and Burnett would have selected Tech III without a guarantee of top-level support from Yamaha. According to Burnett, Toseland could also have joined Fausto Gresini’s high-performing Honda team, or Luis d’Antin’s Ducati Desmosedici satellite team. Expect major announcements from Tech III and Yamaha.”

so all you sceptics out there all may not be as it seems.

I think it is a great move for him and I hope it all works out and he is on the podium at some stage next year.
