Last MotoGP Race at Phillip Island Cancelled Due to Weather in Marquez Setback
Persistent rain and low visibility forced organisers to cancel the race after a two-hour delay, ending Phillip Island’s final MotoGP with a parade lap.
- On Sunday, October 25, 2026, organisers cancelled the final Australian MotoGP at the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit due to persistent rain, ending the event despite a sell-out crowd.
- Poor visibility prevented the medical helicopter from safely reaching the track from Melbourne, forcing the cancellation; the seaside circuit has been a fixture on the world championship calendar for 30 years.
- Jack Miller entertained disappointed supporters with a parade lap, performing a wheelie before throwing his gear into the grandstand. Miller, who leaves MotoGP this season, apologized to fans for the cancellation.
- Championship leader Martin remained 10 points ahead of rival Marquez as the cancellation impacted the title fight. Aprilia confirmed Martin sustained a non-displaced fracture but will not require surgery.
- South Australia secured the race for six years, and the Australian MotoGP will move to a new city-centre street circuit in Adelaide starting in 2027 as Phillip Island's contract expired.
