Japan MotoGP Postponed

The earthquake and tsunami in Japan have caused next month's round of the MotoGP World Championship to be postponed.

The event, due to be staged at the Motegi circuit north of Tokyo on April 24, will now be run later in the year.
The FIM confirmed a combination of the problems caused by the natural disasters and radiation leaks from nuclear plants had caused the race organisers to reschedule.
A volcanic eruption in Iceland and the subsequent chaos caused to air travel forced last year's race to be put back to October.
The new MotoGP season is due to get under way at Losail in Qatar on Sunday when Yamaha's Jorge Lorenzo will begin the defence of his title.
