The 2019 MotoGP season is winding down to its conclusion with the championship heading to Australia and Phillip Island for the 17th round of action. Marc Marquez has had his fourth world title wrapped up for a while Andrea Dovizioso is sitting comfortably in second, but the race for third place is a compelling one, and you won‘t miss a minute of the excitement when watching at home or streaming the sessions live to a mobile device.

2019 Australian MotoGP Preview

The Australian MotoGP is the 17th round of the season for riders, and is staged on Phillip Island in Victoria. The event has been held there since 1997, with Italian legend Valentino Rossi and Australian Casey Stoner holding the record of six wins, the latest in 2014 and 2012 respectively. The track itself can be an unforgiving one, particularly at turn nine, which is known as ‘Lukey Heights’. Make the slightest of errors and it’s race over.

In the scheme of the season overall, Marc Marquez holds the title lead and has wrapped up the Rider’s Championship for the sixth time and the fourth in succession. The Spanish rider has had a remarkably consistent championship run, winning ten of the sixteen events so far on the calendar. He comes into this event in fine form having won the last four Grands Prix, and having won here in two of the past four years he will be tough to beat once again in 2019.

Valentino Rossi’s record here means he is always a threat, even if he is no longer racing at his best, while fellow Italian Andrea Dovizioso will also be looking to challenge Marquez. Dovizioso has been comfortably the second best rider throughout the season, and he will be eager to break his duck on Phillip Island with a win.
