Superbike gloom for Toseland

JAMES Toseland is determined to bounce back in the World Superbike Championship after a weekend to forget in Misano.

The Kiveton rider finished tenth in race one on Sunday and then crashed out in the second to sit a disappointing seventh in the rankings.

He said: “"What can you say, it was another tough weekend," said Toseland.

"I've got the pace when the tyre grip is good but just find it difficult when losing the grip on the bike to keep with the other bikes coming off the corners. “

Toseland admits there are serious questions to be answered before he can contemplate clawing his way back up the standings—which could include talks with his Yamaha bosses.
