That said, here is the harsh reality of racing against nature: the MotoGP Grand Prix race at Phillip Island has been cancelled. Alongside the premier class, the Moto2 and Moto3 races were also called off.
Here's the thing, and it is a brutal one for everyone at the track—the culprit was simply limited visibility. That lack of clear sight directly affected the operation of the medical helicopter at the Red Bull Grand Prix of Australia.
Thankfully, the riders still gave the fans something as a farewell to the legendary Phillip Island. They completed two parade laps behind the safety car, giving the loyal crowds packing the hillsides and grandstands a final glimpse of the machines.
After those two laps, the riders stopped right on the main straight to greet the fans who had stayed. A strange, quiet end to a weekend cut short by the skies, but a fitting wave goodbye to a legendary circuit nonetheless.
