What a crazy turn of events we saw in Motegi, i mean to see both Yams go down, i was shocked!! congrats once again to Marc what a season he had, what a smart season he had. I'd still love to see Vale get his 10th before calling in quits, going to be very hard esp next year with Maverick riding the way he has been.. On to PI, prob my fav track, will we see Gaven the seagul make an appearance again? Get well soon to Dani , also i believe Iannone is out for this one as well.. too bad
About the circuit
Phillip Island, the self-styled home of Australian motorsport, is steeped in motor racing tradition, with the first car races having been held there on public roads in the 1920s. The first motorcycle races took place in 1931 and a permanent track was built in 1956. The circuit fell into disrepair during the late 70s and early 80s until it was bought in 1985 and given a AUS $5m facelift. MotoGP returned in 1989 and 1990 before becoming a regular fixture once more from 1997 onwards.
The Phillip Island circuit is blessed with breathtaking scenery and beautiful ocean views and, as one of the fastest, most fluid, tracks on the calendar, it continues to provide some of the most spectacular racing in the MotoGP season.
