MotoGP Australia 2024

The Phillip Island circuit is located in Victoria, Australia. It was first used as a road circuit in 1928 before moving into the modern version in 1956. After extensive changes, the track was once again reopened in 1988. Now, it hosts a number of championships apart from the Moto GP. The Superbike World Championship, Touring Car Championship, Drivers’ Championship, and Manufacturers’ Championship are a few of the other events held. The track measures 4.445 km in length, and it encapsulates 12 corners.

Schedule & Dates

The Australian Moto GP is an extremely popular event in the Moto GP schedule, and the first race was held in 1997. The event has been held in various locations like the Eastern Creek and Bathurst. Mike Doohan happens to be the only rider who has picked up success in all of the ‘premier class’ race venues – Bathurst, Eastern Creek, and Phillip Island. The event start time for the 2024 addition will be on 18 October. It will last until 20 October.

The Moto GP has witnessed remarkable domination from Honda and Marc Marquez. The latter has been able to win five out of the last six Championships on offer. The 26-year-old is once again looking highly likely to retain the title after having opened up a huge advantage over the likes of Andrea Dovizioso and Danilo Petrucci – two riders with Ducati.

Andrea Dovizioso may have started the campaign with the victory in Qatar, but he has been unable to pick up any success since then. His runner-up finish at the French and Czech Republic Grand Prix have been crucial to keeping him in the second place ahead of Petrucci, who has also picked up just one win this season. He has been camping for success, which is yet to be delivered on a consistent basis.

Petrucci had a poor start with three successive sixth-place finishes, but he has recovered to a certain extent. His best spell came during the months of May and June when he was able to achieve decent results at the French, Italian, and Catalan Grand Prix. The major target for the 28-year-old will be to make the third spot as a base in the Riders’ Championship with Dovizioso not too far ahead. The likes of Álex Rins of Suzuki and Maverick Viñales of Yamaha are seen as decent competitors.

The opportunities for MotoGP betting Australia offers are quite excellent. There are a large number of bookmakers who provide multiple markets. Just as the competition on the track, the options available for punters are quite extensive. It takes a lot of knowledge and skill to find out the best odds.

Betting Review

The biggest market when it comes to Australian MotoGP is undoubtedly the choice of winner. The incredible form shown by Marc Marquez and Honda over the last couple of seasons makes it extremely hard to look beyond a different choice when it comes to this event. Surprisingly, Marc Marquez has been able to pick up just two victories at this event. Spaniards have been overwhelmingly popular at the top of the podium, as four of the last six Australian Moto GP riders to win the event have been from Spain.

Honda has had a strong performance at the event with three wins in the last four editions, but they did concede the success to Yamaha in the 2018 version. Interestingly, the event has been won either by Honda or Yamaha since 2011. Ducati were the last manufacturer outside of these two Japanese giants to win the event and their success was 2010.

The Australian motorcycle Grand Prix remains as one of the prestigious events in the calendar. It is no wonder that bookmakers offer plenty of odds and markets regarding this event. Unlike the majority of the races in the calendar, it is rather hard to predict a winner in each market, as favorites like Marquez have not been outstanding at this event. Yet, the presence of expert tips can help punters overcome the handicap.
