standout Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 they interviewed all the guys before the race sunday. I'm pretty sure it was stoner said he was also opting out because they just found out his wife was pregnant. Moto gp says the race will happen just not sure how large the grid will be beacuse of conflicting reports on the radiation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madcat6183 Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Ya I love radiation, when I use the microwave I stand as close to it as possible. Pansy's even if they do go way faster and corner way lower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmh_sprint Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Stoner and Lorenzo have both stated they will not be there. Curious to see how Dorna and the teams handle this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natedogg624 Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 i wonder if the little stoner will look like a monkey like its dad or an attractive model like its mom.i didn't read the article but from reports i've seen the amount of radiation is less than that of an xray they get 3-10 times a year anyway. if mrs stoner is preggers though, i can see why she wouldn't want to go.

TSB67 Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 I think this is ridiculous. Makes me wonder if some of it is ulterior motives - i.e. Stoner has a big points lead, one less race is better for him; Rossi hating life anyway. All this "We for Japan" and they can't spend two days in a place with trace radiation. Leave the pregnant wife at home, bring your own food and drink, toss your clothes and take a shower when you get back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gixxie750 Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 these are the fastest men on the planet! They do not get enough attention and they have to try anything to get people to talk. I respect all them and we have no idea what or why they do what they do. I am honored to see them in 2 weeks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure it was stoner said he was also opting out because they just found out his wife was pregnant. Moto gp says the race will happen just not sure how large the grid will be beacuse of conflicting reports on the radiation.I thought that clip of Stoner was weeks or months old. Didn't they follow it with a more recent clip of him saying that he would reconsider?I don't fault the guy for being concerned about his wife and unborn child, but the simple solution seems to be, "leave them at home for the weekend."But I do think it's pretty irresponsible of Dorna to subject riders to unsafe conditions.This could really eff with the championship though. Say Stoner is serious, and Lorenzo shows up and wins. that's a 25 point swing in the championship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent2406 Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 Sooo, how many of you have a flight planned for Japan? I know I wouldn't go, screw that. Call me a pussy all you want! At least my nuts aren't falling off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rassilon Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 But I do think it's pretty irresponsible of Dorna to subject riders to unsafe conditions.Its not unsafe. There was an independent investigation which concluded that motegi and the surrounding towns are completely safe. The food and water is also completely safe.There was more background radiation at sachsenring in germany than there is at motegi. Why didnt these pussies boycot that race?

Why didnt these pussies boycot that race?who paid for this "independent" investigation?The Japanese gov't? Dorna? both have a vested interest in the racing being run.Unless the riders hire their own investigators and also find that it's safe, why would they believe someone who stands to make money off a finding of safety?But assuming the study is accurate, I hope Stoner does boycott and Lorenzo wins it. That will make the championship race a lot more interesting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
