Riders concerned over Motegi
MotoGP riders have expressed their concern about committing to a rescheduled Japanese Grand Prix while the country continues to have issues with the nuclear power plant damaged in March's earthquake and tsunami. The Japanese round was rescheduled from its intended April date to 2 October following the devastating natural disaster, but Valentino Rossi said riders were not confident about heading to Japan if the problems at the Fukushima nuclear plant continued. "[Series boss Carmelo] Ezpeleta said to us yesterday that they want to do the grand prix in Japan, because the situation is quiet and because they worked on the track because the track was a little bit damaged," Rossi said
