Japanese MotoGP in the season will be held on October 2, 2011 in danger without the presence of several famous MotoGP rider. After Jorge Lorenzo and Casey Stoner claimed not want to race in Japan, this time Valentino Rossi also said the same thing.
All three riders are equally groundless fear of the radiation that hit Japan. This radiation itself is the impact of the earthquake and tsunami that hit Sakura, March 11, 2011 last.
"I do not think I'll go to Japan. I hope that the championship committee made the right decision," Valentino Rossi said as quoted by The Independent, Tuesday, August 16, 2011.
Jorge Lorenzo has expressed reluctance drop in Motegi circuit, Japan, since a month ago. The threat of boycott was made Yamaha as Lorenzo's team owners worried because it means that Lorenzo would have violated the contract.
However, Managing Director of Yamaha Motor Racing Lin Jarvis was not to blame Lorenzo's decision. "We need to ascertain whether the environment there (Japan) is stable or not so that every individual can take individual decisions," Jarvis said some time ago.
