James Michael Toseland (born 5 October 1980)[1] is an English former motorcycle racer and vocalist of his own rock band named Toseland. For 2020, he is team-manager of Wepol Racing with riders in World Supersport and Supersport 300.[2]
Toseland was the 2007 World Superbike Champion on a Ten Kate Honda,[3] 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.[4]
Aside from racing, Toseland is a pianist (reaching Grade 6) and singer-songwriter performs with his Toseland band performing across the world. He has also performed alongside Ray Stubbs for the BBC's Sport Relief and played a piano set at the BBC Sports Personality of the Year awards in 2007.
