Australian GP cancelled due to rain
The 18th round of MotoGP, the Australian Grand Prix, was cancelled due to heavy rain and poor visibility. Riders bid farewell to the Phillip Island Circuit, which will leave the calendar next year, with a symbolic lap behind the safety car.
The Australian Grand Prix, the 18th round of the MotoGP World Championship, was cancelled due to heavy rain. The organisers announced that the MotoGP, Moto2 and Moto3 races were cancelled entirely rather than postponed. The reasons given were both difficult weather conditions and low visibility, which prevented the medical helicopter from flying.
Despite the cancellation of the race, the riders gathered on the track. The competitors completed a symbolic lap behind the safety car. Stopping on the main straight to greet the grandstands, they bid farewell to the Phillip Island Circuit, which will leave the calendar.
Phillip Island will not feature on the MotoGP calendar next season. As a result, the lap on the track carried an emotional meaning for many fans and riders.
The next stop on the MotoGP season will be the Malaysian Grand Prix. The race will be run on 1 November.
