Tech3 Yamaha team-mates James Toseland and Colin Edwards are reportedly involved in a handbags session because the Texas Tornado's crew chief has gone over to JT's side of the garage.

Tosleand is said to have reached a brick wall in terms of communicating with his 2008 crew chief Guy Coulon and asked team boss Herve Poncharal if he could swap to Gary Reynders, who Edwards brought to MotoGP.

Edwards isn't at all happy about it, apparently, saying he didn't think this sort of thing would happen in the team, adding that he thinks he must have a different code of ethics to the Briton.
