MotoGP's governing body, the FIM, will wait until the end of the month to read an independent report on the safety of racing at Japan's Twin-Ring Motegi circuit before making a decision on whether to race there in October.

President Vito Ippolito has issued the following statement this morning concerning the race:

“In the present circumstances and with the elements on our hands, including reassuring statements from various governments concerning travel restrictions, I cannot but reaffirm what was said in the previous press release. Furthermore, the FIM is awaiting for the results of a report conducted by an independent European agency on the conditions prevailing in Motegi that will be released later this month.

"Together with our partners and stakeholders we will continue to monitor the situation very closely to make sure that the safety and health of everyone involved is guaranteed at all times, which is an absolute priority for the FIM.”
