Bike racing's governing body, the FIM, has issued a statement saying there is no reason the Motegi MotoGP round should not go ahead as planned in October.
The Swiss-based agency has considered information about radiation levels at the track from various governments, the World Health Organisation, the International Atomic Energy Agency and an independent report and have drawn the following conclusion:
"In principle, Suzuka and Motegi circuits being situated outside the exclusion and evacuation zones, and based on the information provided by an independent report, a number of agencies including several governments, the World Health Organisation and the International Atomic Energy Agency, the 2011 FIM World Championships events in Japan (QTEL FIM Endurance World Championship, SPEA FIM Trial World Championship and FIM World Championship Grand Prix) will be taking place as scheduled. A final announcement will be made by the FIM President during the MotoGP in Mugello."
What the above doesn't say is that the race will definitely go ahead at Motegi...
