Michael Scott Column - July 10

Never one to avoid asking difficult questions or giving uncomfortable answers, Mr Michael Scott offers a typically trenchant view of the relative states of health of world race series...
What a disaster at Assen. At the World Superbike race, where British riders dominated. Both rostrums were filled with regional accents and true blue bulldogs: Rea, Toseland, Camier on the first one; Rea, Haslam and Toseland on the second. Wow

The wisest man in the MotoGP paddock rates 2009’s plucky underdogs
underdog. James Toseland made a fine MotoGP start last year, grabbing a string of rookie fifths and impressing his rivals with a fearsome take-no-prisoners riding style.Musician JT finished the year vivace (lively and fast), with a crescendo of competitive

MotoGP legend Scottie says that Dorna’s money-saving push is making the sport squeak
entertaining. Step forward James Toseland and Colin Edwards.As reported last issue, the Texas Tornado (aka Windbag) has taken violent exception to JT poaching his crew chief. Revenge came during testing when Colin was reliably much faster and, rather cruelly

If you’re British and want a half-decent ride in a Grand Prix class, you’d better have a big bag of sponsor’s money. But if you happen to be the ever-so-humble Ben Spies...
champs of the past, from Bayliss and Edwards to the hapless James Toseland.But I fear another tsunami of misguided British passion – a repeat of Superbike mania, is on the way. As well as the return to Superbikes of Toseland after his MotoGP misadventure

Breeding success
on. An initiation into the technical refinements of the final top class of racing.Maybe it's too soon to say - and James Toseland will hopefully prove to be an interesting future test case - but so far it doesn't seem to be working. And in a number

Bearded GP paddock oracle Mike Scott tells all
away again. Edwards has survived, but remains (as for some time) only on the brink of revealing his obviously massive potential.Must be a worry for James Toseland's MotoGP ambitions. While on the other hand Chris Vermeulen looks wise for having jumped

Is Rossi the smiling assassin who always gets what he wants? Yamaha are certainly worried, reckons Mike Scott, the GP paddock pitbull
. Secondly, he’s not reckoned to be much of a development rider. An odd choice.Not as odd as that of Colin Edwards, dropped from the factory Yamaha squad but handed down to the satellite team, where he will team with James Toseland. The placement, dictated

Tyres, dodgy electronics and the first tests at Jerez: Mike Scott rubs his hands and gets stuck into another round of silly-season antics
.And who has Jorge always cited as his role model and racing hero? Even more irritatingly for Valentino, none other than the dreaded Max Biaggi.How will the Great British Hope James Toseland fare in this company? He ran respectably at Jerez, ending up

Is Rossi over the hill? Is it time for the greatest motorcycle racer ever to move over gracefully and let the new guard through? Mike Scott ponders.
to give Kawasaki their first win, methinks. Melandri hasn’t made a brilliant start after switching to the Duke; but ex-250 newcomers Dovizioso (Honda) and Lorenzo (Yamaha) have been fast out of the box, and will be in the mix now and then.James Toseland
