James Toseland had a US MotoGP to forget, as his disappointing season went from bad to worse – he suffered a marginal jump start and the failed to see the penalty warnings that indicated he had to come back to the pit lane for a ride through. After missing the warning Toseland was black-flagged and his race was over.

“There’s not much I can say really other than it was a tough weekend. I feel like the jump start was pretty harsh. I knew it was close but I didn’t think I’d jumped the start and that early in a 32-lap race I’m not looking at my pitboard. I was just concentrating on catching the guy in front and the first thing I realised that I’d been penalised was when I saw the black flag and my number. Obviously if I’d known I’d jumped the start then I would have come in but I’ve watched the TV replay and you can’t see anything. I didn’t gain any places either so in my opinion it’s pretty harsh. It’s a setback but I’ve just got to get on with it and bounce back in Germany.”
