Riders content with Motegi decision

Japanese Grand Prix winner Dani Pedrosa says the MotoGP riders had no qualms about the Motegi race going ahead, though others still hinted at concerns over radiation. There were fears in the MotoGP paddock that it would be unsafe to race at Motegi this year following the devastating earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan in March, causing major damage to the Fukashima nuclear power plant. Some leading riders threatened to boycott the race, but the whole field attended in the end after various indepedent studies underlined that the radiation hazard was not an issue.
