s close to his home. Toseland was taught from Year 7 to Year 11 at Wales High School

series aged 17. He was picked up to ride a Supersport Honda

-sponsored team on a Honda VTR

in World Superbikes. Having never taken a top 5 finish in either the British Superbike Championship or the Supersport World Championship, he was not initially as competitive as Neil Hodgson. But by late he was challenging for top 5 results and took 7th place overall that year. In the team was more competitive than ever, allowing James to take his first win at Oschersleben
and 3rd in the championship.
and Ruben Xaus
left World Superbikes to race in MotoGP, Toseland joined the factory Fila Ducati team as second rider to the experienced Regis Laconi
,racing the dominant 999 F04 motorcycle. Toseland put together a consistent series to stay with Regis Laconi
all the way, and ahead at several stages. The final races at Magny-Cours saw the youngster out-ride his experienced team-mate, giving Toseland the title by a nine point margin. A final tally of 336 included three wins and eleven other podium results
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 4th.
Ten Kate Racing
Honda
racing team, replacing the MotoGP-bound Chris Vermeulen
, where he rode alongside Australian Karl Muggeridge
. He won the season-opener in Qatar, and finished 2nd in the championship behind Troy Bayliss
. He was contacted to replaced 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. D'antin have not performed well in recent years however, and Toseland turned the offer down, not willing to make up the grid on a bike that wasn't competitive.
Toseland remained in WSBK
for 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 0.009 seconds. Toseland won his first ever World Superbike double at Brands Hatch
on August 5 giving him a 66 point lead in the championship. In the final race at Magny-Cours
, he claimed the 2007 World Superbike title with a pole position, seventh position in Race 1, and a sixth place in Race 2, to leave him 2 points ahead of Japan's Noriyuki Haga
.
. He demonstrated his piano-playing abilities in the ceremony, performing a specially written blues/jazz piece.
Toseland was however voted as the 2007 BBC Yorkshire Sports Personality of the Year.
Toseland was again 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. But eventually 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 it was also confirmed that Toseland's teammate would be Colin Edwards
. Toseland signed a deal with British leather company BKS to supply him with suits whilst competing in the 2008 MotoGP world championship. James & BKS have now parted company after only 3 races in 2011 after very poor results. James has now signed with "Sypke" leathers.
Facing eight unknown tracks, Toseland had reason to expect a tough season http://www.crash.net/motorsport/motogp/news/169355-0/toseland_faces_last_of_the_eight.html, but he was immediately more competitive than expected. He qualified in second place and finished sixth in the opening race in Qatar on 9 March 2008.
He then qualified in 8th place and finished sixth in Jerez on 30 March despite suffering from bronchitis.
Toseland shrugged off criticism from fellow MotoGP riders about his aggressive riding style. Chris Vermeulen
, Andrea Dovizioso
and Casey Stoner
were all vocal in their displeasure of Toseland's aggressive overtaking moves. James downplayed the talk and stated that his moves were "hard but fair", and that it was his job to overtake his rivals when he had the chance to do so.
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
.
Toseland struggled through the middle part of the season for top 10 finishes, achieving two 9th places (Holland and the United States). One of James's better showings was at Brno where he finished 13th, ahead of his team mate Colin Edwards
. Amidst Bridgestone dominance he was the third-highest finisher on Michelin
tires, the first being Andrea Dovizioso
placed in 9th. At Phillip Island
he ran 3rd for a while but ultimately faded to 6th after frantic battles with the works Yamahas of Valentino Rossi
and Jorge Lorenzo
, plus Dovizioso and Shinya Nakano
.
Overall Toseland had a very mixed first year in the Moto GP class, finishing 11th overall in the championship with 105 points. Inconsistency was one of the main problems, with Toseland unable to record regular top 10 results despite having only 2 DNF's.
as he did in 2008, after the team extended Toseland's initial contract after two races of the 2008 season. Yamaha have also decided to continue their relationship with the Tech 3 brand through to 2010.
In pre-season testing Toseland suffered two major accidents, one of them resulting in him being diagnosed with a concussion.
The start of the season was difficult for Toseland as he could not find a bike setup that was comfortable. In 2008 Toseland had been unhappy with the communication with his engineer and his complaints led to a switch of crew chief with team-mate Colin Edwards
. Edwards resented this change and refused to speak with Toseland for 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.
On 1 October 2009, Yamaha officially confirmed that Spies will join Yamaha Tech 3 to ride in the 2010 MotoGP Championship
, taking Toseland's place in the team. It was announced before the Portuguese GP that Toseland would return to the Superbike World Championship
.
, 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 podiums going into the last two rounds of the season.

in Spain he will retire immediately.
