The iconic 4.445 km asphalt road racing track has 12 turns and has the highest average speed of any circuit of the MotoGP calendar (182.1 km/h by Lorenzo, 2013). With very fast flowing and very fluid corners, the riders can really push their corner speeds and provide some very spectacular high speed racing. Track width of 13m, and longest straight 900m long, where riders easily reach speeds over 300km/h. The 16th circuit on the 18 circuit calendar for the 2015 MotoGP season.
This MotoGP season, Movistar Yamaha teammates Jorge Lorenzo and current season points leader Valentino Rossi will battle it out to see who will gain the most points for the championship, only 14 points between them, and last years world champion Marc Marquez (Repsol Honda) currently in third place championship standings, only 79 points behind Rossi, needing to take the win at Phillip Island to have a chance and stay in the game for the championship or secure his Podium standing this season.
