	STEVE PARRISH ON THE MALAYSIAN MOTOGP On to the penultimate race of the MotoGP campaign, and Great Britain's James Toseland is one man who probably doesn't want the season to end. His performance at Phillip Island was the best we have seen from him, and he deserved to finish higher than sixth. James was desperately unlucky to be pipped for fourth place in the final stages. He is really back on it now after his mid-season blip and has proved he is a world-class MotoGP rider. He suffered a lean period following a less-than-successful home GP at Donington and started to lose a bit of confidence and reliability with the bike. There were a couple of tracks where Michelin tyres just didn't work that well, and you just get the feeling that better tyres would see him make a podium or two. I went to his birthday party after the race which was really good fun, he seemed relaxed, buoyant and very proud of his performance. The whole team turned up to the party, including all the mechanics from both his and Colin Edwards' side of the Tech 3 Yamaha garage. This shows how popular he is, he really looks after people and gets a lot of respect in return. Malaysia is one of the hardest races of the season due to the weather conditions out here. The heat saps the bike's horsepower, and fitness really becomes a crucial factor. The riders will have been training very hard this week and I know that Toseland has been in the gym preparing. It is a real test of endurance and the track itself is one of the hardest on the circuit. I hope we can really see a ding-dong battle between Casey Stoner and champion Valentino Rossi as I can't help but feel we have been robbed of good races this season.
