The 2011 Japanese motorcycle Grand Prix was the fifteenth round of the 2011 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season. It took place on the weekend of September 29–October 2, 2011 at the Twin Ring Motegi, located in Motegi, Japan. The Grand Prix, originally scheduled for 24 April, was moved to 2 October due to the effects of the Tōhoku earthquake and the Fukushima I nuclear accidents.[1][2]
Due to concerns with possible radiation an independent survey of Motegi and the surrounding area was commissioned by FIM and Dorna Sports. That survey generated a preliminary report[3] which stated "Based on the estimate dose it can be said by no doubt that the radiation risk during the race event is negligible." On 2nd August the full report was received and the organisers stated that the race would take place as scheduled.[4]
