Indeed, the damage a nuclear reactor to make a large number of MotoGP riders are reluctant to go there. Discourse not to perform there also becoming stronger, and the people who most loudly expressed is that Stoner and Lorenzo.

At the German GP last July, Stoner said, "I will not go away." Statement of the standings leader was affirmed again by the closest rival who is now ranked at two, Lorenzo.

However, reports an independent team in charge of the investigation gave a positive signal. According to them, the risk of radiation "ignored". This is what makes Stoner and Lorenzo hesitated, and have not made a final decision on plans to race in Japan.

Meanwhile, the Japanese rider in the team Gresini Honda, Hiroshi Aoyama, as well as the Tech 3 Yamaha duo Colin Edwards and Cal Crutchlow, has made sure to go to Japan. In a press conference in Brno, Czech Republic, last weekend, three riders have confirmed it.
