I
t started off horrible. Phillip Island did its worst for the first two days.
It was cold, wet, windy and treacherous. However, it finished up
wonderful, as the characterful southernmost circuit showed its other
side on race day (Sunday).
Cool, dry weather allowed the hottest of action, in all three classes.
And brought a second GP win of the year to the man who had earlier
broken Britain's 35-year drought.
It also gave another tension injection to Moto2, and a frightening but
ultimately rewarding Moto3 race stopped after the last of a spate of
crashes left the track strewn with riders and debris.
Cal Crutchlow
(35) was there to
capitalize on Marc
Marquez' crash to
take the Australian
Grand Prix win.
