MotoGP wakes up at dawn with the Australian GP, ​​Zarco’s place of honor [Programme TV] – The Auto Sport Mag

Change of scenery for the MotoGP world championship this weekend, with the arrival of the paddock on “Philippe Island”. Understand, Philip Island, scene of the Australian Grand Prix, again this year. And it’s certainly a somewhat special event, from now on, for fans of Johann Zarco, the latter having won his first – and only, for the moment – GP in the premier category on this track.

MotoGP: Philip Island, a real challenge…

In this area of ​​the globe, at such a time, the risk of attending a rainy Grand Prix must always be taken into consideration. And indeed, weather projections indicate that the risks are real on the Philip Island circuit. A plot which does not need such conditions to turn out to be a rich spectacle. Indeed, this track is one of the favorites of drivers because of its intensity, requiring a “big heart” to tame it.

Something which will make the duel between Francesco Bagnaia and Jorge Martin even more exciting, with only ten points separating the two drivers. On the condition that there is no cancellation since, for the record, the sprint event was canceled last season while the main race took its place on Saturday morning. Always due to climatic conditions, generally mixing abundant water and wind.

Here is the TV program (Paris time), taking into account the time difference.
