Join James & Tom for a Phillip Island Special . The boys dive deep into the history of one of MotoGP’s most iconic circuits, breaking down why Phillip Island lost the Australian Grand Prix in 1991 , and asking the big question everyone’s talking about: Will the AUSGP re-sign at the Island, or could it move to The Bend or even Albert Park? In the spirit of Australia Day , we run through your favourite Aussie MotoGP moments , celebrate the legends, and react to your biggest takes from the fans.
