MotoGp returns to Australia and Phillip Island after the two-year stop caused by the pandemic. The roll of honor at the Australian track, among the most popular with riders, has two MotoGP legends Casey Stoner and Valentino Rossi at the helm, both with six wins apiece in the premier class of the World Championship. The Doctor prevailed from 2001 to 2005 and then in 2014, Stoner scored 6 wins in a row from 2007 to 2012.

There are nine Italian victories on the circuit; in addition to Rossi’s six, Loris Capirossi in 1996, Max Biaggi in 2000 and Marco Melandri in 2006 have also established themselves in Australia. In 2019, the last year it was raced, Honda centaur Marc Marquez won.
