PHILLIP ISLAND: Marc Marquez was denied the chance Sunday to stretch his world championship lead over injured Jorge Martin with the last Australian MotoGP at Phillip Island cancelled due to treacherous conditions.
Organisers pulled the plug despite a sell-out crowd with persistent rain and poor visibility making racing unsafe.
"Limited visibility has resulted in the cancellation of the Australian MotoGP," organisers said.
It was an inglorious end to nearly three decades of the sport at the waterfront circuit two hours from Melbourne, with the Australian race moving to a city-centre street circuit at Adelaide next year.
