MotoGP - Japanese Grand Prix is go!

So I may be a bit late on the subject but I thought I might as well make a blog post about my own opinions on the go ahead of the MotoGP Japanese Grand Prix in October.

I’m happy the GP is going ahead not just because I’m a fan and I like watching it but like the report from the ARPA said it IS safe to go there, so if it’s safe why shouldn’t they go race? That’s what they do.

I know Japan is still recovering and I agree no Grand Prix should have been held at the start of the year but surely now the benefits of hosting would be a lot greater?

After making a comment about radiation level’s [at the Motegi circuit] on Twitter, I got linked to an informative website. Now I’m not claiming I know much about radiation levels because I don’t but I do know a bit and it seems to be accurate enough (feel free to correct me If I’m wrong.)

My comment on Twitter went along the lines of… ‘If you consider how many x-rays most of the riders have had, the amount they’ve flown and will continue to fly around the world, especially on the long flight to get to Japan, as well as general radiation we are all exposed to daily, then they’ve more likely than not already been exposed to more radiation then they will for their duration of the weekend.’ … Which, according to the chart is an understatement.

Casey stoner still claims even though it’s been deemed safe to stay, ride and eat in the area he still won’t be going and it’s up to organisers to figure out what to do.

Well he might change his mind if he doesn’t win any of the next few races (unlikely!)
Saying that, his closest challenger is Jorge Lorenzo who said he wouldn’t go if it wasn’t safe but as far as I am aware hasn’t made a comment since the results came out last week, lucky for some, he’s been holidaying in the Dominican Republic...

N'aww!

With a short summer break more or less over the MotoGP will be in Brno, Czech Republic, Karel Abraham’s homeland by the end of the week AND Moto2 and 125’s are back, for more exciting, unpredictable racing from the lower classes!
