Marc Marquez says Phillip Island MotoGP conditions “acceptable” if race went ahead

Marc Marquez said the conditions at Phillip Island would have been suitable for racing if visibility had improved, but the medical helicopter could not operate, forcing officials to cancel the Australian Grand Prix. He expressed sympathy for the fans, noting the circuit’s reputation and his own strong memories, including his pole‑position lap and a previous main‑race win.

The cancellation also benefited title rival Jorge Martin, who had crashed and fractured his wrist in the sprint, as the race’s removal removed a potential points loss. The MotoGP calendar now moves on to the Malaysian Grand Prix, followed by the Qatar round later in November.
