The only people who suffered greatly were Steve Martin and Chili. Laconi had more trouble than Toseland and Laconi had more support so it must have something (if not a damn lot) to do with your mechanics team.
Lets face it vman - Laconi just couldn't raise his game from Laguna onwards and James did. He lost it in Calif and that was that.
James Toseland - deserved and well earned Champ.
I don't think we will see the Ex-WSB champs back in WSB quite yet.
JT has no ride for next year. The sooner Ducati Corse sort him out the better really, - kind of expect it with Honda, - Edwards World Champ and no ride but not from Ducati.......
We heard he'd lost the ride at Assen and next year they'd run Laconi and Lanzi (see AMA this weekend !) but thought (hoped) it might be a Ducati trick to put some fire in JT's belly or a boot up his a55 either way it worked, what a top ride at Imola and Magny Cours, be a real f****r if they do let him go now. Not heard any rumours about an alternative ride for next year either, anyone got any snippets of info ?
Bikes: have owned 748/853/916/749/853R/748/848 not sure whats next...

i thought the deal was that who ever won the title won a ride for next year, i can see a repeat of last year where they stick with what theyve got just like they did with hodgson and xaus
why did tardozzi look so pi55ed off that toseland won and not laconi, the team had a 1-2 and the constructors title so wheres the issue.
