The final dance at Phillip Island before MotoGP makes its debut in Adelaide for 2027 has been cancelled due to heavy rain, with all track action canned due to “limited visibility”.
Following 25mm of overnight rainfall and forecasts that predicted up to 35mm more throughout Sunday, poor visibility grounded the mandatory medical helicopter and halted all track action during the day.
Due to visibility issues, any medical helicopters cannot fly, meaning track action cannot go ahead at a race until conditions clear up.
But organisers were forced to periodically cancel each session as the torrential weather did not ease up, leaving fans waiting in the weather.
The Superbikes session and the morning’s rider parade were both cancelled early, and fans were unable to watch the Legends Lap which was meant to feature prominent Aussie names in the MotoGP world including Mick Doohan, Casey Stoner, Wayne Gardner and Kevin Schwantz.
The MotoGP warm-up, originally slated for around 9am, was postponed and then cancelled.
