James Toseland retires

[Speshal]

Sadly the 2004 and 2007 World Superbike champion has been forced to retire through an injury received to his wrist in practice earlier in the year.

"I have to put the safety of the other riders on track first, as well as thinking about my own safety. Knowing that I will never again be fully fit to race at the highest level, it's also unfair for me to occupy a great seat in WSBK that a young, talented rider who is fully fit could take better advantage of."

Sad to see him go really.

Such a shame for what was a relatively minor injury.
