The Japanese Grand Prix was originally scheduled for April 24 at the Twin Ring Motegi, located about 75 miles north of Tokyo. Under request of the event organizer, the FIM has rescheduled the Motegi round for Oct. 2.
This marks the second straight year the Japanese Grand Prix has been postponed due to natural disasters. The 2010 round was also moved to October from its original April date due to travel delays caused by a volcanic eruption at Icelands Eyjafjalla Glacier.
