What is going on with Mr T?

What do you all feel about the Toseland situation?
I am flabbergasted with the situation there, you don't just go from being able to dish it out to all and sundry to being an also ran do you.
It seems he is getting very little help from the factory and that as usual they are putting all their weight behind Regis as he seems to be getting on fine though is up to his usual trick of crashing for France/Italy.
I wondered if it was a fall out from last year when it was blatantly obvious Tardozzi wanted Regis and not James to win.
I am sorry but he won it fair an square and because Regis crashed his way to second. It is very clear he cannot ride the bike anywhere near the limit because of some inherent ha ndling problem. Three meetings now this has been the case and it is only through sheer willpower and toughness that he has got any points.
Can you imagine Fogarty,Bayliss et al putting up with this. We dont seem to be getting anything much from the team so I wonder what your thoughts are guys?

i'm wondering whether james has the experience to work around a maybe not so good bike

(wierd thing to say about a world champion), but its only he & regis with experience on these bikes.... remember last year there where 3 or 4 ducati teams for feedback etc & no decent yamaha's, honda's, suzuki's or kawasaki's!
i hope those red bikes get back up there quickly because troy could make it boring (not that i am complaining

)

hey chunder, guess what - anthony gobert is back in aussie superbikes

Haha, glad ou remember my favourite subject. I am huge Gobert fan acually afer him coming over here for a bit on the Virgin bikes and nearl winning at Brands!
I see your favourite boy Hodgson is the only giving Mat a run in AMA aswell, bit of a urn up for the books that isnt it.
I am gettin more lucid in my old age anyway gom, would rather an aussie won anthing now rather than Eyeties and Spaniards!! Is as near as us Brits can get anwa at te moment!!
