The Japanese MotoGP at Motegi has been called off because of air travel problems caused by the cloud of volcanic ash in Europe.

Bugger...........

Give that jammy prick Rossi a chance to heal up too!

Someone said he fell off a MX bike?
Obviously a conspiracy - did anyone see those Italian Vulcanologists leaving Iceland just before the eruption...

Yeah knocked himself round a bit...sounds like he was lucky he didn't break something! Yeah...wonder what it cost Rossi to have them set that mofo mountain off??!!

No MotoGP this weekend? Hey, this volcano thing is serious! :shit:

I guess I'll have to settle for the superbikes at Assen. :sunny:

Okay, enough is enough already. This volcano is becoming a PITA. It has disrupted weddings, funerals, deaths (apologies for anyone who is seriously affected by this one thing I do feel sad about), schools, exams, births, work, life in general but to affect Moto GP. That is just rude.
Shame we didn't have someone warning it was going to do this, or I could've ensured my in-laws had left NZ last week. Heck, I was even overlooking the fact they're probably stuck over here for a bit longer.
Wonder if Superbikes will go ahead. I did think they might have to postpone/cancel MotoGP.
Sheesh, nature has a nerve, hasn't she. Thankfully she doesn't get PMS as often as most of us females do ;)

Exactly. I'd say SBK will go ahead as they are all in Europe and have trucks and cars etc to drive around in. Otherwise Ten Kate would win some lonely races...

It'll be interesting to see if F1 can get the cars, equip and people back from China in time for Barcelona...

more interestingly, theres no mention of this on the motogp website. I think itll be canned but i dont think its full on official yet.

[TOTO]

I think Russia is behind the volcano eruption !!!

[Wingnut]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lostinflyz]

now its official. wsbk it is then

[Crasherfromwayback]

Guess one good thing to come out of it is that we'll get to see three races in a row at the pointy end of the season!

Bugger I have some good settings on playstation for Motegi and was feeling confident.
Is it a worry that I'm always trying to nudge Stoner, to take him out ? Bit like sticking pins in a doll for me. lol

Stoner seems to be able to take himself out quite nicely of late without your help mate!

That is seriously not nice, what did the doll ever do to deserve pins?

you hadn't thought that maybe it is because so many people are willing him to break down or bin it?
There is also talk about Rally NZ being affected, too.
Oh, October 2 is the new date for the GP :)

Apparently the Rally cars & crews are on trucks & buses back from Turkey, and the rest of their gear comes by ship, so fingers crossed it'll be OK.
