MotoGP Announces Exciting Schedule Change for Phillip Island Event
MotoGP is preparing for an exciting event at the 2025 Liqui Moly Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix at Phillip Island. However, due to adverse weather conditions, the schedule for Sunday has been modified. Organizers have announced a one-hour delay in the program to ensure optimum conditions for both riders and fans.
MotoGP Schedule Changes Due to Weather
On Sunday, the MotoGP feature race will now begin at 3:00 PM AEDT. The morning warm-up session is set for 10:40 AM AEDT. Further changes to the day’s lineup include:
- Moto3 Race: Starts at 12:00 PM AEDT (21 laps)
- Moto2 Race: Begins at 1:15 PM AEDT (23 laps)

Weather Forecast for Sunday
The outlook for Sunday includes a high of 24°C and a 70% chance of rain, with predictions of up to 4mm. While damaging winds are possible, they are expected to lessen as the day advances. This proactive scheduling change aims to maintain the best possible conditions for both the track and the spectators attending the race.
In response to last year’s challenges, where race schedules were moved, organizers have acted with caution. They explored the option of shifting the grand prix to Saturday for optimal conditions but settled on the adjusted Sunday timeline instead.
