Monster Yamaha's James Toseland is sporting Sylvain Guintoli's number 50 on the front of his YZR-M1 in support of the former Tech3 rider who is still in hospital after his crash at Donington Park on Monday.

Guintoli rode for Herve Poncharal's outfit in MotoGP and Toseland says he is carrying the number so Guintoli knows the whole team are thinking of him this weekend.

 I'm carrying Sylvain's race number on my bike as a gesture from the whole Tech 3 Team to show we're all thinking of him and wishing him a quick recovery. He's a great guy and we all want to see him back out on track as soon as possible," he said.
