![]() ![]() Unfortunately, we will have to wait another year to return to Victoria, but we very much look forward to seeing the Australian fans in 2022 and staging another fantastic event together – this time with two home heroes, Jack Miller and Remy Gardner, on the premier class grid when we return.” One of our truly emblematic venues that always delivers incredible racing, it’s a favourite for fans worldwide and everyone in the paddock. We’re also disappointed for our staff, suppliers and partners, as well as the Phillip Island community and associated tourism industry that relies on the economic boost which comes with staging the event.”Ĭarmelo Ezpeleta, Dorna Sports CEO: “We are very sad to announce that we won’t be able to race at the stunning Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit in 2021. MotoGP will return to Portimão from November 5-7, the week preceding the Gran Premio Motul de la Comunitat Valenciana, as the iconic Autodromo do Algarve welcomes MotoGP back for a second Grand Prix this season.Īustralian Grand Prix Corporation Chairman, Paul Little AO: “We’re terribly disappointed that for a second consecutive year, MotoGP fans won’t see the world’s best riders compete at the wonderful Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit, including Australians Jack Miller in the MotoGP class, and Remy Gardner, who is currently leading the Moto2 world championship. In addition, the FIM, IRTA and Dorna Sports are delighted to confirm the addition of the Grande Premio do Algarve to the 2021 FIM MotoGP World Championship calendar. The 2021 Malaysia Motorcycle Grand Prix has therefore been brought forward and will take place a week earlier than previously scheduled, from the 22nd to the 24th of October-the weekend immediately following the rescheduled OR Grand Prix of Thailand. The FIM MotoGP World Championship looks forward to returning to race in front of the Australian fans at the spectacular Phillip Island Grand Prix circuit in 2022. The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and resulting travel complications and logistical restrictions mean it has not been possible to confirm the viability of the event at this time, and it will therefore not feature on the 2021 calendar. The team confirmed that Ben Spies, who deputised for Capirossi at Donington Park and was at Assen in case Capirossi couldn't ride this morning, will not replace the Italian again this weekend, having already missed one full day of practice.The FIM, IRTA and Dorna Sports regret to announce the cancellation of the Red Bull Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix. "Unfortunately the bike ripped a sizeable piece of flesh from his right forearm, but Dr Costa and his team performed an operation to close and stabilise the wound and Loris will now start his recuperation to get himself fit again, for sure it will be Sachsenring in two weeks time." He was lucky that he didn't break anything or cause more damage to the original injury. Rizla Suzuki team manager Paul Denning added: "The crash was nothing to do with his recent hand injury, it was just one of those things. "It wasn't easy when that happened but I have great support around me and I will now work to get myself 100 per cent right and jump back on the bike as soon as possible." "When I crashed the bike came on top of me and i get this hole in my arm. "I lost control and the bike jumped me out of the seat," said Capirossi. He was taken to the medical centre and operated on to repair the wound immediately, but has to rest the arm and will take no further part in this weekend's event. The Italian was returning after missing last week's race at Donington Park with a broken bone in his hand, but he crashed in the second practice session today and his inner right forearm was punctured by the footpeg and the bike landed on him. Loris Capirossi will miss the Dutch TT at Assen this weekend after injuring his right arm in a fall in practice this afternoon, but hopes to be back at Sachsenring in a fortnight.
