Is Phillip Island’s MotoGP Future at Risk? Australian GP Uncertainty Explained | #159

Join James & Tom for a Phillip Island Special.

The boys dive deep into the history of one of MotoGP’s most iconic circuits, breaking down why Phillip Island lost the Australian Grand Prix in 1991, and asking the big question everyone’s talking about: Will the AUSGP re-sign at the Island, or could it move to The Bend or even Albert Park?

In the spirit of Australia Day, we run through your favourite Aussie MotoGP moments, celebrate the legends, and react to your biggest takes from the fans.

To wrap it up, we look ahead with predictions and talking points going into the 2026 season — what could change, what should change, and what might cause chaos.
