The upcoming Australian Grand Prix weekend at the seaside Phillip Island circuit carries extra significance as this year's edition marks the final MotoGP appearance at the iconic venue before its controversial relocation to downtown Adelaide in 2027.
This impending transition has sparked intense friction and debates from environmental groups opposing tree clearance in parklands, alongside die-hard motorsport fans and Supercars loyalists lamenting the loss of a truly beloved historical racing circuit from the calendar.
The riders themselves share deep sentiments about bidding farewell to the seaside venue. Gresini and factory stars alike have expressed their sadness over leaving behind one of the most breathtaking layouts in motorcycle racing history.

Marc Marquez acknowledged the emotional weight of the weekend, noting the unique and spectacular layout where he previously secured early success with Ducati and remains eager to fight for top positions once again.
Meanwhile, Francesco Bagnaia highlighted the incredible charm and pure adrenaline of the circuit despite having never claimed a victory there. Track action for the Australian Grand Prix at Phillip Island is scheduled from October 23-25, featuring comprehensive practice and qualifying sessions across all classes.
