James Toseland Black Flagged at Laguna Seca
Britain’s James Toseland felt his disqualification from the US Grand Prix at Laguna Seca was “pretty harsh”.
Toseland was given a ride-through penalty for a jump start but did not come in to the pits within the allotted three laps and was shown a black flag.
“There’s not much I can say really other than it was a tough weekend. I feel like the jump start was pretty harsh. I knew it was close but I didn’t think I’d jumped the start and that early in a 32-lap race I’m not looking at my pitboard. I was just concentrating on catching the guy in front and the first thing I realised that I’d been penalised was when I saw the black flag and my number. Obviously if I’d known I’d jumped the start then I would have come in but I’ve watched the TV replay and you can’t see anything. I didn’t gain any places either so in my opinion it’s pretty harsh. It’s a setback but I’ve just got to get on with it and bounce back in Germany.”
