MotoGP Team in 2008
 August
1, 2007 - The Tech 3 Yamaha MogoGP racing team has
announced that it has secured the services of James
Toseland for the 2008 season. The British rider
will begin his MotoGP career with the Yamaha factory
supported organization next year.
Toseland -- who is currently leading the Superbike

his racing credentials. He was the youngest ever
World Superbike Champion in 2004 and is aiming to secure
the title once again this season.

caliber and am looking forward to working with him,”
says Team Principal Herve Poncharal.
“Procuring James is a major coup for Tech 3 Yamaha
and for the MotoGP championship in extending our reach
into Northern Europe. It is an exciting time for
us all and I am certain that he will be an integral part
of the team’s future.”
Further details, including James’ team structure will
be announced in due course.
