Phillip Island 2022
Posted: Mon Oct 17, 2022 11:06 pm
No motorcycles involved on our part this time, but we have been to Phillip Island this last weekend for the MotoGP, all transport by aeroplane and bus.
It's been a cracking weekend with good company, made new friends and met up with many folk that we have met before at the GP's we have attended.
On Saturday night we spent an hour in the VisionTrack garage talking to Taylor Mackenzie and Scott Ogden both of whom were very interesting and generous with their time, we met Jeremy Burgess a couple of times, and our friends from Team Gresini who helped us out with a last minute grid access pass.
Photo opportunities were much more restricted than in Europe, but we did get infield at Lukey Heights on Friday morning and infield at Siberia during MotoGP Q1/Q2.
All in all a grand weekend that delivered more than expected, now we are continuing holidays in Fiji and New Zealand.
Here are some photos, and an album collection.
