James Toseland branded his first home race in MotoGP as 'one of the biggest disappointments' of his career after having finished last at Donington Park. The Briton, who had a difficult qualifying in the wet yesterday, made a good start from the 16th slot and gained a few places but crashed at the first corner.
Despite banging his right hand and losing the right footpeg of his Tech 3 Yamaha, Toseland got back on the bike and carried on with a lonely race that saw him finish a lap down on the leaders.
Having won at this track in World Superbikes, Toseland says he 'soldiered on' for his home fans.
"It is hard to explain just how disappointed how I am," he said. "I really wanted to get a good result for my home crowd but it was always going to be difficult after the problems of yesterday.
