Since taking over last year, Liberty Media haven’t been popular with everyone in the sport, but Mick Doohan thinks their arrival could be just what MotoGP needs. The switch from Phillip Island to a new Adelaide street circuit hasn’t gone down well,
The 2027 Australian MotoGP will be held on a revised version of the Adelaide street circuit that last hosted Formula One in 1995, it has been revealed.
Australia’s Casey Stoner won the MotoGP race at Phillip Island in six consecutive years from 2007, while Italian legend Valentino Rossi has the most wins on the track - six in the premier class (500cc then MotoGP) and two in 250cc. Fellow Aussie greats Mick Doohan (1998) and Wayne Gardner (1989, 1990) were also 500cc race winners at the circuit.
MotoGP Sports Entertainment, formally Dorna Sports, tried to switch the Phillip Island MotoGP event to Albert Park, but the Victorian government is blocking the move.
