Japan race postponed?!?

I just read an article on BBC Sport saying that the MotoGP race was postponed to October.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/motorbi...

So this is probably final...

Do you think this will affect the championship in any way? Like the preparations for the races, even the world championship standing?

For one I'm certain - huge disappointment! I was waiting for the weekend with so much excitement, and now I have to wait another week...

    Yeah it's a damn shame. I was also really looking foward to it.

    I guess the worst part of the date change is the WSB final race weekend. However the way the Suzuki GSX-R 1000 is flying in WSB & BSB, the title might be over by then anyway !

    You could always follow the " TwitGP" on Twitter.

    http://twitgp.blogspot.com/ Its just a made up race weekend insteed of Montegi.

    Tiff Needel ( of 5th Gear ) has designed the track : http://twitpic.com/1h2fs9

    Suzi Perry will be in the ( virtual ) paddock : http://twitpic.com/1hdl3h ( note logo on suit )

    Even Fiat Yamaha have a new paintwork for the race : http://twitpic.com/1hcpyc

    Its all good 2 twitter 2 fun, but you would not believe the amount of famous behind it !

    I'll tell you all about it over that beer !

    [ it's gutting that there's no Moto Gp this weekend, though there is WSB from Assen. can' see it affecting the championship much, they're in europe now till the end of July then America. that may favour Ben Spies a little as he will have gotten used to europe by now....<^><...
