Pedro Acosta: MotoGP has to be “grateful” to Phillip Island despite “sad” goodbye

Pedro Acosta expressed mixed emotions regarding the final MotoGP event held at Phillip Island, acknowledging the circuit's historical significance despite the abrupt cancellation of the weekend's main race. Poor visibility caused by severe weather prevented medical helicopters from operating, forcing officials to abandon the event entirely.

While the track will be replaced by Adelaide on the future calendar, Acosta emphasized that the sport owes a debt of gratitude to the venue for its long history of hosting memorable competition. The weekend was also marked by a separate incident during the Saturday Sprint, where Jorge Martin suffered a broken wrist following a collision with Marc Marquez at turn eight.
