MotoGP: Lorenzo and Spies will race at Motegi
di Alessio Brunori12 September 2011
Yamaha has announced that its official riders Jorge Lorenzo and Ben Spies will be at the start of the Japanese Grand Prix which will take place in Motegi on October 2nd. The Yamaha Factory Racing team will race with the White Red livery to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the home of the Three Diapasons in GPs, as already happened in Assen and Laguna Seca.
We remember that Lorenzo was one of the first pilots who did not want to go to a country at high risk of radioactivity after the earthquake resulting in the Tsunami that damaged the Fukushima nuclear power plant in March this year. However, Casey Stoner (world championship leader) and Valentino Rossi, Ducati rider, have not decided whether to go.

In my opinion, Stoner will not decide until he is "arithmetically" certain of having won the World Championship (and there isn't much left to go) if instead by some strange turn of fate the championship were to be decided, as I ardently hope, on the last lap of the last race, well… CS wouldn't have much choice
Lorenzo proved to be weak; he had said over and over again that he wouldn't go to Japan and as soon as Stoner had shown some uncertainty on the matter he had even waved him away...
what a misery
Marco
Unfortunately Marco, there are logics that go beyond common sense or individual coherence: first of all today the world revolves around the god $ or € if you prefer, there are contracts at stake, money (a lot of) penalties, image of Case and riders, and above all – for a rider – the possible loss of the certainty of racing on a winning or in any case very strong bike the following season….
For all this, evidently, it is worth returning "phosphorescent" from Japan.
This is the location of the house. I want to hear it from the mouths of the pilots. I'm sure that if someone goes, the others will follow. If not all, almost.
Hi everyone:
I just hope that Valentino doesn't go;
"Long live the king"
Let's hope that the others instead take a panoramic tour of the power plant's crater.
...don't worry Marco, your God Rossi is also going to Japan...
