Nice words. Still difficult to believe that radiation in Motegi is bellow radiation in Madrid, unless we can see the data they collected.

Why should it be difficult to believe? Madrid is fairly high altitude and built on a granite rock bed, its natural radiation levels should therefore be pretty high.

Back in the days after Chernobyl, the French authorities claimed that no radiation from the disaster site has reached France. 20 years later the reality was revealed different.
And this is just one example that proves that those in charge sometimes might have an agenda slightly different from the rest of the world.

Unfortunately, the problem with your suggestion that the Japanese government might be hiding something is that radiation levels are easy to monitor. The equipment is not cheap but is readily available. In Japan the government monitors radiation, but so does the IAEA, various environmental groups trying to 'prove' high levels of radiation and various community action groups. In addition to these are the research groups sent on behalf of DORNA(MotoGP) and earlier for Indycar.

None of them has found high levels of radiation at Motegi. Guess they're all in on the conspiracy?

Also wikileaks just revealed that the Japanese asked Obama not to present excuses re Hiroshima and Nagasaki because they do not wish negative speeches about nuclear energy.

Relevance?

In the end you're allowed to say what you wish, but as long as it is not your health and life in line you shouldn't judge those who fear for theirs.

I have a problem with riders who have become multimilliionaires on the back of a sport which is dependent on Japan to an extent probably no other international sport is dependent on a single country who had such little regard for the feelings of the people of that country that they disregarded well put together scientific evidence and continually refused to go. This is why they were rightly mocked by MotoGP journalists and had team chiefs threatening to tear up their contracts if they didn't go.

The MotoGP riders did themselves and Japan a disservice. The F1 circus for all its faults excelled itself. Well done to the latter.
