Report Background The Pramac Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix was announced as the 16th race of the 2015 MotoGP championship by the global motorsporting body FIM in September 2014, with the race being conducted a week after the Japanese Grand Prix and a week before the race in Sepang, Malaysia.2015 provisional calendar released https://www.motorcyclenews.com/sport/motogp/2014/september/2015-provisional-calendar-released/ www.motorcyclenews.com en 2020-05-21 It was the 26th season that Grand Prix motorcycle racing has conducted a race in Australia and the 20th race conducted at the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit in Victoria. After the race in Japan from the previous week, Valentino Rossi was leading the championship 18 points ahead of his teammate Jorge Lorenzo, Marc Marquez was 86 points behind Rossi and was mathematically out of championship contention going into Australia, with 75 points on offer in the final three races of the season.Motul Grand Prix of Japan - World Championship Classification https://resources.motogp.com/files/results/2015/JPN/MotoGP/RAC/worldstanding.pdf?v3_787cb568 11 October 2015 www.motogp.com 21 May 2020 Dani Pedrosa was the previous race winner in Japan, with Rossi finishing in second and Lorenzo in third. In the teams championship, Movistar Yamaha conserved its lead in Japan to 192 points over Repsol Honda, making it also mathematically impossible for the team to be beaten, while the Ducati Factory Team sat in third place only 34 points away from Repsol Honda and still had an opportunity to take second place by the end of the season. The constructors championship showed Yamaha had a 57-point lead over Honda, although there was still a possibility for Honda to win the title, it was highly unlikely. Due to injuries sustained at the Catalan Grand Prix earlier in the season, Karel Abraham announced that he would step aside from the rest of the season beginning with the Japanese Grand Prix, with Anthony West taking his place in Australia, Malaysia and Valencia.2015 Pramac Australian Grand Prix - Entry list http://resources.motogp.com/files/results/2015/AUS/MotoGP/Entry.pdf 15 October 2015 www.motogp.com 21 May 2020 Alex de Angelis also announced that he would not compete the rest of the season after sustaining an injury during a free practice session in Japan, with Damian Cudlin replacing him for the Australian and Malaysian races.Aussie Cudlin to replace injured de Angelis https://speedcafe.com/aussie-cudlin-to-replace-injured-de-angelis/ 2015-10-15 Speedcafe en-US 2020-05-21 Practice and Qualifying Despite warm and sunny conditions on Thursday, the weather on Friday turned to cold and rainy by Friday with an average temperature of 14 °C throughout the day.MotoGP 2015: Australian MotoGP qualifying live, timing results, video https://www.foxsports.com.au/news/australian-motogp-live-coverage-of-practice-and-qualifying-at-phillip-island/news-story/12ae41b1a02bce5bc75167209b84c7a6 2015-10-17 Fox Sports en-AU 2020-05-21 In the first practice session, after being cut short due to rain hitting the circuit, Jorge Lorenzo, Marc Marquez, Valentino Rossi and Dani Pedrosa covered the top four spots, with Jack Miller completing the top five.https://www.motogp.com.au/fan-zone/news/jorge-top-big-names-steal-show 2015 Free Practice 1 - Report Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix www.motogp.com.au 2019-10-03 2019-08-25 https://web.archive.org/web/20190825024734/https://www.motogp.com.au/fan-zone/news/jorge-top-big-names-steal-show dead Most of the session took place in overcast conditions, with belief that the weather would improve throughout the weekend.

Marquez made a strategic decision to complete three runs within the session and had the entire track to himself in his second run, allowing him to improve his time drastically. During the last three minutes, everyone began improving their sector times, with no one being able to catch Marquez at the top. In an unprecedented and rare moment for the sport, Iannone and Lorenzo tied for second place, with both men setting the exact same top qualifying time, Iannone declared the winner of the tiebreaker from his second fastest qualifying time, while Lorenzo only set one lap. Despite qualifying in second, Iannone's tactics came underfire as he consistently tagged Lorenzo and followed him around the track lap after lap, a tactic that angered Lorenzo, Yamaha and journalists covering the event.https://motomatters.com/analysis/2015/10/18/2015_phillip_island_sunday_motogp_round_.html 2015 Phillip Island Sunday MotoGP Round Up - The Race That Defined An Era?

Pedrosa qualified in fourth, despite being in the front row position throughout the session. Crutchlow was crowned the top independent rider for the session, placing fifth and Vinales finishing sixth. Championship leader, Rossi performed his worst qualifying session since Indianapolis, finishing in seventh place and on the third row.

Race The race began at 4pm local time, with Iannone lead the field going into turn one, although the lead didn't last long as Lorenzo took over the lead by turn eight.https://ultimatemotorcycling.com/2015/10/18/2015-phillip-island-motogp-results-australia-gp-recap/ 2015 Phillip Island MotoGP Results: Australia GP Recap Ron Lieback Ultimate Motorcycling 18 October 2015 16 March 2019 8 September 2021 https://web.archive.org/web/20210908173459/https://ultimatemotorcycling.com/2015/10/18/2015-phillip-island-motogp-results-australia-gp-recap/ dead The beginning of the second lap, Iannone had retaken the lead but was bizarrely hit by a seagull flying on the track causing body damage to his bike, he briefly lapsed in concentration allowing Lorenzo to retake the lead and Marquez to join them the leading battle pack. The battle began to heat up between the top three riders with obvious advantages and disadvantages between the Honda, Yamaha and Ducati. Iannone's Ducati had incredible straight line speed which allowed him to pass his competitors on the main straight with ease, while despite having the weakest straight line speed Lorenzo's Yamaha had the best corner speed of the three riders and Marquez's Honda being the most consistent in both the corners and the straight line speed. The constant passing between the top three riders allowed Rossi and Crutchlow to catch up to the leading battle pack, although Crutchlow - whose LCR Honda was suffering from wheel spin - was not able to keep the same pace as the top four and began to drop away from the leaders. When Rossi joined the leading battle pack, Lorenzo began to establish a dominant lead leaving Marquez, Iannone and Rossi in a three-way battle for second place. Lap 25, Lorenzo still had an established lead with Marquez, Rossi and Iannone still chasing when Rossi attempted to pass Marquez, the manoeuvre left open space for Iannone to pass both riders moving him from fourth to second, which was praised as one of the best overtakes of the season.https://www.motogp.com/en/news/2015/10/19/i-ve-watched-the-australian-gp-race-three-times-already/187762 I've watched the Australian GP race three times already!
