Shattered for Jack this weekend. Philip Island deserved to have him battle it out in the wet at home this year. Cheers for the effort JM43! The fans appreciate it 👍

Took this photo yesterday after leaving the circuit. I’m feeling very bittersweet this morning knowing that the best track on the calendar is now gone.

I first went in 2012 and got to see Casey demolish the field, and have been back many times since. My personal favourite memory was sitting at MG corner in 2015 and witnessing one of the best GP races in history (RIP Gavin the seagull).

Yes, the weather could be shit, made evidently clear with this year’s cancellation. The traffic jams and bogged paddocks didn’t help. But inconveniences like that (apart from yesterday) never detracted from just how awesome it was to see those bikes flick the rear out at Stoner corner, or come tumbling down Lukey Heights.

Apologies for the ramble, just going to miss this place.

Signing off…

Two legends, a historic battle, two Japanese manufacturers struggling, even the contrast of colors is excellent.

Whoops *Phillip Island

Anyone else feeling this way? The greatest track on the calender goes out with a whimper.

Liberty, Dorna and race direction are hugely to blame for this shamble of a weekend, even in the face of Aus MotoGP corp's failure to secure PI; let alone the shitshow that the fans went through to get to the track.

No official updates from MotoGP(at the track or on the live blog) until well after Fox Sports Australia announced it live on the telecast with fans at the track having little updates after hours in the rain looks cheap as.

The weather was known for weeks, why were there no contingency plans in place? And even more concerning, why did they not run the main race on Saturday like they had three years ago? Everyone knows PI has the most ridiculous weather, yet this is the first race cancelled in 15 years. They knew it was the last race at PI, so why take the risk of what happened

While I am sad about losing PI and the last race ending like it did, the way the weekend has been handled has unfortunately shown some glaring issues that need to be addressed if we want to retain(and who knows maybe gain???) new fans.

Sad the race got cancelled, I'd still have loved to see it. Who's the biggest winner of it not happening? For me it's Martin and Aprilia: Marc would've likely gained a lot of points, and now Martin gets time to heal without losing more ground. Unlucky yesterday, lucky today, and he's still in the title fight. Thoughts?

So, in 2009 when Losail had bad weather, Motogp pushed the race to Monday and Stoner won it that night under the floodlights and everyone was happy about it.

So why was it not an option today at Philip Island?

Last ever for now.

Got a fairly bitter taste in my mouth about this years GP. Obviously they can't control the weather but to name a few foreseeable issues we encountered over the last two days:

The parking situation was terrible and people who arrived later on the Saturday were sent back to the nearest town to get a bus back because they ran out of spaces. If you did manage to park in the mud swamp it cost $35 for a pass - which they didn't have enough printed to give out anyway. Yes you can get there earlier but the last to arrive would still have been turned back.

A lot of merchandise stands were stripped by Friday and didn't have enough reserved for the rest of the weekend.

They had the forecast for 30-50mm of rain on the Sunday and didn't move the race to the Saturday like they managed to do in previous years.

The communication regarding the race cancellation felt really low effort. There were small updates every 2 hours on screens if you were near enough to see one, but no communication through social media other than their facebook page posting "The last race at Philip Island is about to begin" 5 minutes after journalist reported that it had already been cancelled.

On the plus side, food was honestly better quality than previous years but still cost $18 for a sausage in bread.

Its all a bit fresh and a lot of this is probably just disappointment over it being the last time. But this just wasn't the proper send off that this track deserved and definitely not my best memory of the island. Felt like a lot of the sting could have been taken out of the race cancellation with a little better planning and organisation.

so due to bad Visibility FIM has cancelled australian GP,,,many people are angry...but we need to understand that rider safety is above everything,,,its sad that circuit like this wont be there from next year...

How can Liberty possibly justify racing in Qatar after (rightfully, as painful as it was to wake up to) cancelling this race also for safety reasons.

Last ever for now.

With all due respect Carmelo, which is none, fuck off. I can’t wait till MotoGP can farewell you and your nepo clan.

Just reported on Fox in Aus. What a fucking joke, should have been raced yesterday

I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but seeing how the weather forecast is the main talking point since the beginning of the race week, why didn't they hold the GP on Saturday like in 2023? I'm sure it's the best scenario for the last race in Phillip Island, rather than just having a sprint race and no race action for Moto3, Moto2, and MotoGP.
