Thursday pm - Look Who James Toseland is Playing With!

James Toseland will tear himself away from conversations with engineers in the Yamaha Tech 3 pitbox at Jerez tomorrow night to play a duet with the 30-year-old Swedish violinist and supermodel, Charlotte Krona.

The 27-year-old Brit will star on the piano with the violinist at the launch of Babelgum, a new internet TV community for motorcyclists, after the first day's qualifying at the Jerez circuit.

And if you check out Ms Krona's credentials by entering her name in Wikipedia, you will see why this PR engagement will be such an ordeal for Britain's top racing motorcyclist. You can also examine her Stradivarian curves by keying her name into Google.

There is no truth in the rumour that James and Ms Krona will perform J S Bach's Air on a G-string during the event.

Ms Krona was discovered by the Armani label for an underwear advertisement campaign, and later became popular in Italy posing partially naked for Fox magazine's calendar in 2004.
