Nothing and I mean "nothing" has gone right for poor old Tose since he went to MotoGP

I feel for him, he's an superb rider and a bloody nice bloke to boot, but his bad luck with injuries must be having a negative effect on him mentally

I read an interview he did with a man's running magazine while I was away on course. He's an immensely talented lad. His BMW training regime is immensely hard btw

Crikey - he'll have to play "chopsticks" one handed now ..........

Yeah - I feel for him too - great rider that a couple of years in MotoGP seems to have ruined - though he wasn't too shabby in his first year there.

I would echo all the points made about JT. A really top bloke with (it seems) really shit luck.

About 15 years ago I (unwittingly) shared the track with JT at an Oulton Park track day. I'd just exited the Foulstons' chicane on my 888 SP3, heading towards the brow of the hill on the straight that leads to Knickerbrook (one of the great corner names). Next thing I know a CBR600 comes absolutely hammering past me - there must have been a 30 mph speed differential, I kid you not.

Once I finished the session, I sought out the rider and it turned out to be a 15-year old JT. I've followed and supported him ever since. The fact that he's a Sheffield lad is just the icing on the cake...
