MotoGP: Riders are preparing for tough conditions at the biggest race of the year at Phillip Island this weekend.
Tough Phillip Island conditions expected | 00:45Is there a more spectacular place in the world to watch grand prix motorcycle racing than Phillip Island?
What was once a 66-point lead over Martin eroded entirely, with the Spaniard taking a seven-point advantage after last weekend’s sprint in Indonesia. It’s a fascinating dynamic. They’re on equal machinery, and though both are super-fast, both also have error-prone histories. Clean performances, not just big ones, will be crucial.Speed of Phillip Island excites Bagnaia | 02:58Jack Miller was granted the rare honour of having a corner at the legendary Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit named after him last season.
Given the top seven riders finished within a second of winner Álex Rins in a thrilling duel for Phillip Island supremacy, it probably also cost him a big result on home soil. The sport’s most successful team is at its lowest ebb, lost at the bottom of the manufacturers title table. It’s probably also his last best chance to win on a Honda before he departs for Ducati next year, with no other track likely to minimise the Japanese bike’s problems as readily as the Island.
The second-year Italian lost his Gresini seat to Márquez, and his future in the premier class relies entirely on what Honda wants to do to fill the Spaniard’s missing seat.
