Paddock Pass Podcast Episode 447: The Wonder From Down Under
The Motegi malaise was blown into the Bass Strait by the whirlwind at Phillip Island. The Island always delivers, and this race was no exception, with a botched start converted into a hard fought victory, and lap and race records smashed. Adam, David, and Neil go over the big talking points from the Australian GP, with Neil forced to leave early to make the mad dash to Melbourne.
Was the race with getting up at 5am for? How did Marc Marquez come through the pack? Will an additional 10 points be enough to carry Jorge Martin to the title in Valencia? And why, for the love of all this holy, is MotoGP at Phillip Island in October rather than February?

Phillip Island MotoGP Saturday Subscriber Notes: Paging Mr (Nearly) Perfect
Phillip Island MotoGP Saturday Subscriber Notes: Paging Mr (Nearly) Perfect
https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-58z78GH/0/MKtwCkd28M7CwGtbkhjjM2ZCcQztzhw7zJLH8Hgrm/L/i-58z78GH-L.jpg
Will Phillip Island prove to be the decisive round in the 2024 MotoGP title? That's probably a bit premature, but the momentum definitely swung back again in the Sprint race on Saturday. Helped in no small part by the weather, a wet FP2 making it impossible for the riders to test the soft and medium tires or work on setup. They headed into qualifying and the sprint race pretty much blind.
Phillip Island dries quickly, though. Especially when the wind is as brisk as it was on Saturday, and despite the cold. By the end of FP2, a dry line was starting to appear and some riders switched from soft to medium wet tires. Ten minutes later, at the start of Q1, the majority went out on medium wets for their first run, before joining the four who started out on slicks.
Q1 was fascinating. The lap that took Raul Fernandez to the top of the timesheets was 5 seconds faster than Johann Zarco's best lap at the start of the session. Timing was everything. Being out at the end on a set of slicks you had gotten up to temperature was a ticket to Q2. Raul Fernandez and Enea Bastianini got it right, while Luca Marini just missed, finishing just too early.
