Having set himself the pre-season goal of improved consistency, the Tech 3 Yamaha rider is finding his second year in the class as tough as the first.

“If you start at the back you stay at the back in a class like this.”
In three races so far this year, Toseland has qualified 13th, 10th and 14th and finished 16th, ninth and 13th, scoring 10 points.
“We’ve got a lot of information from the Jerez weekend and we’re eliminating things that we know don’t work. I’m confident we’re close to finding the setting I need and working hard with my guys to find it.” BBC Sports
