It is October 3, 2004, and Toseland has just become the youngest Superbike world champion after a dramatic showdown at Magny-Cours with Regis Laconi, his team-mate and bitter rival. It is a spectacular achievement for the 23-year-old, which has catapulted him towards unimaginable fame and riches. His triumphant team get together for a rollicking party.
It ought to be the happiest moment of Toseland’s young life, but after half an hour he excuses himself and walks slowly to his dressing-room. He sits down, puts his head in his hands and sobs for longer than he can remember.
Interesting JT biog.
