Toseland back on form

James Toseland put in another strong performance at Phillip Island to take home a second and third place finish leaving him just 1 point behind Bayliss in the championship.

The race wins were shared between the two Troys with Corser taking race one after a massive battle with Alex Barros and Bayliss taking race two almost six seconds clear of Toseland.

Bayliss said: “It’s been a really good weekend, obviously I was on a bit of a downer after race 1, but that’s racing”, declared Troy.

“It all went well because we’ve got a smart team and they know what to do. We obviously did a race distance on the tyre before but something strange happened. Anyway we put that behind us and we decided to use the hardest tyre Pirelli brought along.

“Then I made my move on Toseland at two-thirds race distance and although I was nearly in the same situation with the tyres with three laps to go, I still managed to pull a good enough gap to win. We’re leading the championship again, so that’s a bonus. Now we move on to Valencia and Monza which are places we like so I hope to keep the momentum going”.

Race two wasn’t so good for Corser who lost the rear of his Suzuki after just three laps. Alex Barros swerved to avoid his spiralling bike and clipped the speed hump on the Aussies leathers with his footpeg, tearing it open and spinning him in the middle of the track.

Dramatically Corser just managed to get up and run across the track before being hit by Karl Muggeridge.

He seemed uninjured and walked off the track by himself.

Bayliss had a poor start in the first race using up too much of his tyres too early while in the lead, eventually dropping back to sixth place. But he went on to win the second race comfortably leaving him with enough points to steal ahead of Toseland in the championship.

Corser is now 11 points behind in third.

Brit Chris Walker took two 10th place finishes.

In Supersport British Superbike rider Dean Thomas took tenth place behind Stephan Charpentier’s win, with Brit Tommy Tunstall in 18th.
