Timeline

2018

As a result of his early racing success, he was signed to the factory Castrol Honda World Supersport squad where he rode for two years finishing 18th and 11th in the championship with best results of 8th in his first year and 6th in the first round of the second year.

2017

Toseland re-recorded the song 'We'll Stop At Nothing' from their 'Cradle The Rage' album with the ChorusUK choir. The single became the official anthem for the Special Olympics GB 2017. In November 2017 Toseland announced that they had signed a deal with premier rock label Frontiers Records, and that they have begun work on their fourth album, due for release in the autumn for 2019.

2016

The second album 'Cradle The Rage' was released in March 2016, and was followed once again by tours all over the UK and Europe cementing them and one of the UK's hardest working live bands. Along with their own headline shows the band hit the road supporting the likes of Deep Purple and Black Stone Cherry.

2014

The first album 'Renegade' was released in 2014 and Toseland's first three releases, from the album 'Renegade', ('Life Is Beautiful', 'Crash Landing' and 'Renegade') all made it on to the A list on national radio stations and the album has received outstanding reviews. U.K. headline tours followed, along with special guest slots with 'Status Quo' and 'Reef', 'Calling Festival' with 'Aerosmith' and various appearances in Europe.

2013

Toseland became part of the Phil Burgan Race Academy (PBRA) – a programme for developing British talent in motorcycle sport – in 2007.

Toseland struggled through the middle part of the season for top ten finishes, achieving two ninth places (the Netherlands and the United States). One of James' better showings was at Brno where he finished 13th, ahead of his teammate Colin Edwards. Amidst Bridgestone dominance he was the third-highest finisher on Michelin tires, the first being Andrea Dovizioso placed in ninth. At Phillip Island he ran third for a while but ultimately faded to sixth after frantic battles with the factory-supported Yamahas of Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo as well as Dovizioso and Shinya Nakano.

Following the premature end of his racing career, Toseland returned his focus to his first love – music. After parting with his band Crash, he is now fronting Toseland (Band). The band's debut single: 'Life is Beautiful' premiered online in April 2013. Being invited to Play 'Download Festival', as well as being the opening act for 'The Darkness' and 'Little Angels' provided an incredible kick start to the band's career.

2012

Toseland used his previous experience on the race track to help develop up-and-coming motorcycle racing stars of the future as part of his involvement with the Phil Burgan Race Academy. From 2012, Toseland stepped into a mentoring role, providing one-to-one support for the Academy's talented young motorcycle racers including Danny Kent and Sylvain Barrier.

In December 2012 he announced he would attempt to break the motorcycle land speed world record in September 2014; this was delayed due to adverse weather and surface conditions. The streamliner that Toseland will ride for the attempt at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, United States is powered by a Rolls Royce jet engine and is called 'The 52 Express' after Toseland's racing number. The record attempt is led by former GP and TT sidecar competitor Alex Macfadzean.

In January 2012 Toseland's engagement to pop singer Katie Melua was announced. They were married on 1 September 2012, in the Nash Conservatory, at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew, London.

2011

Overall Toseland had a mixed first year in the Moto GP class, finishing 11th overall in the championship with 105 points. Inconsistency was one of the main problems as he was unable to record regular top ten results despite having only two DNFs.

For 2011, after being offered a return to Ten Kate Honda, he signed for the factory-backed BMW Motorrad Italia Team aboard the BMW S1000RR.

In September 2011, Toseland confirmed that, following the wrist injury sustained during a crash at Aragon in Spain, he would retire from racing immediately.

2010

After losing his place at Tech 3 Yamaha to Ben Spies, Toseland took over Spies' place at the Sterilgarda Yamaha World Superbike team for the 2010 Superbike World Championship season. His teammate was fellow British rider Cal Crutchlow. Toseland struggled to adapt to the new bike early in the season, only gaining 4 podium finishes going into the last two rounds of the season.

2009

It was confirmed that Toseland would stay on for 2009 with the Tech 3 Yamaha team, racing alongside Colin Edwards as he did in 2008. Yamaha also decided to continue its relationship with the Tech 3 brand through to 2010.

On 1 October 2009, Yamaha officially confirmed that Spies would join Yamaha Tech 3 to ride in the 2010 MotoGP championship, taking Toseland's place in the team. It was also announced before the Portuguese GP that Toseland would return to the Superbike World Championship.

2008

In pre-season testing, Toseland suffered two major accidents, one with concussion. In 2008 Toseland had been unhappy with the communication with his engineer and his complaints led to a switch of crew chief with teammate Colin Edwards. Edwards resented this change and refused to speak with Toseland during the early rounds of the season. Despite the change in crew chief Toseland only finished ahead of Edwards in two races for the year. Toseland also received jump-start penalties at the Laguna Seca and Phillip Island rounds, the former resulting in a disqualification.

2007

Aside from racing, Toseland is a pianist (reaching Grade 6) and singer-songwriter performs with his Toseland band across the world. James has also performed alongside Ray Stubbs for BBC's Sport Relief and played a piano set at the British sports personality of the year awards in 2007.

Toseland remained in WSBK for 2007 with Ten Kate Racing Honda, despite a firm offer from the Pramac d'Antin team to race in MotoGP. Toseland posted a first/second combination at the first meeting in Qatar, and at Philip Island. He won one race in each of the first five meetings of the year. At Assen he almost took a pair of wins but he was passed by Bayliss, losing by just 0.009 seconds. Toseland won his first ever World Superbike double at Brands Hatch on 5 August giving him a 66-point lead in the championship overall. In the final race at Magny-Cours, he claimed the 2007 World Superbike title with a pole position in qualifying, seventh position in race one, and a sixth place in race two, to leave him two points ahead of Japan's Noriyuki Haga.

Toseland was nominated for the BBC's Sports Personality of the Year 2007 and came fourth, 710 votes behind Ricky Hatton. However, he demonstrated his piano-playing abilities during the ceremony, performing a specially written solo blues/jazz piece. Toseland was voted as the BBC Yorkshire Sports Personality of the Year in 2007.

Toseland was linked with the Pramac d'Antin MotoGP team, although rumours had also abounded of a ride with a Honda outfit, and even of Ten Kate Racing making the step up to the premier class and taking Toseland with them. However, Toseland confirmed a move to MotoGP for 2008 on 1 August 2007 when he announced that he had signed a one-year contract with factory supported Yamaha team Tech 3. For 2008 Tech 3 switched from Dunlop to Michelin tyres and it was confirmed that Toseland's teammate would be Colin Edwards. Toseland also signed a deal with British leathers company BKS to supply him with suits while competing in the 2008 MotoGP world championship.

2006

For 2006 Toseland switched to the Winston Ten Kate Racing Honda racing team, replacing the MotoGP-bound Chris Vermeulen, where he rode alongside Australian Karl Muggeridge. Toseland won the season-opener in Qatar, and finished second in the championship behind Troy Bayliss. He was contacted to replace injured Toni Elías for the Fortuna Honda team for a one-off appearance in MotoGP, but this did not happen for sponsor-related reasons.

Toseland was linked to the d'antin Ducati satellite team in MotoGP in 2006, and received an offer to ride for them in 2007. However, d'antin had not performed well over recent years, and Toseland turned the offer down, not willing to make up the grid on a bike that wasn't competitive.

2005

2005 proved to be more of a struggle for Toseland, with a lack of team support as well as the returning Suzuki and Yamaha teams and the improving Honda camp of five riders including Chris Vermeulen and Pierfrancesco Chili. This combination of factors ended the domination of Ducati, and Troy Corser took the championship on a Suzuki, with Toseland finishing fourth overall.

2004

In 2004 after both Neil Hodgson and Ruben Xaus left the Superbikes World Championship to race in MotoGP, Toseland joined the factory Fila Ducati team as second rider to the experienced Regis Laconi, aboard the dominant 999 F04 motorcycle. Toseland put together a consistent series to stay with Regis Laconi all the way, and even ahead at several meetings. The final races at Magny-Cours saw youngster Toseland out-ride his experienced teammate, giving him the title by a nine-point margin. A final tally of 336 included three wins and 11 other podium finishes. At the age of 23 years and 364 days, he is the youngest Superbike World Champion until this day.

2001

As a result of his early racing success, he was signed to the factory Castrol Honda World Supersport squad where he rode for two years finishing 18th and 11th in the championship with best results of 8th in his first year and 6th in the first round of the second year. In 2001 aged 20, Toseland joined the GSE team to partner Neil Hodgson in the Superbikes World Championship. Having never taken a top five finish in either the British Superbike Championship or the Supersport World Championship, he was not initially as competitive as Hodgson. However, by late 2002 he was challenging for top 5 results and took seventh place overall that year. In 2003 the team was more competitive than ever, allowing Toseland to take his first win at Oschersleben and third in the championship overall.

2000

He joined the British Superbike Championship series in 2000, riding for Paul Bird's Vimto-sponsored team on a Honda VTR He contested the first seven rounds, missing four more through injury, and over the course of these picked up 101 points. Altogether, this placed him 12th in the championship and his results included seven finishes in the top eight riders, including two sixth places at Oulton Park.

1995

Transferring his motorcycle career from off-road to road racing after Wright's death, Toseland quickly worked his way up through the ranks becoming 1995 Junior Road Race Champion before moving on to 125cc racing in the UK Superteen series, and then sprang to prominence in the late nineties when he dominated the Honda CB500 Cup series aged 17. He was then picked up to ride a Supersport Honda and won races at national level.

1980

James Michael Toseland (born 5 October 1980) is an English former motorcycle racer and a current vocalist of English rock band Toseland. Toseland was the 2007 World Superbike Champion on a Ten Kate Honda, and also won the 2004 Superbike World Championship on a Ducati. He is one of only two men, the other being Troy Corser, to have won the World Superbike Championship for two different manufacturers. On 9 September 2011 he officially retired from professional motorsport due to a wrist injury sustained in March 2011 at an official World Superbike Championship testing session at Motorland Aragon, Spain.

1927

Before the British MotoGP round at Donington Park, Toseland said that if he were the first Briton to win in 27 years at the top level that he would strip naked on the ride back to the pits. However, he crashed in the first corner of the race, but picked his bike up to finish in 17th place, his worst finish of the season to that point, over a lap behind the winner Casey Stoner.
