Karel Abraham has decided to sit out today’s MotoGP race at Motegi.
The Czech rider has been complaining of concentration problems since his arrival in Japan and after this morning’s warm up practice has decided to withdraw from the race.
Abraham had been given the all clear from doctors after his horrible first lap crash at Aragon two weeks ago, when the wheel of his Ducati had clipped him on his helmet.
“It would be a risk to start the race in such a conditions,” said Abraham.
“I’m sorry I’m not able to participate in the race, but I believe it’s the right decision not to risk anything.
