MotoGP: Riders are preparing for tough conditions at the biggest race of the year at Phillip Island this weekend.

Tough Phillip Island conditions expected | 00:45Reigning Australian Grand Prix winner Álex Rins has cast doubt on the running of this year’s race, with high winds forecast to disrupt Sunday running.

Watch every practice, qualifying and race of the 2023 MotoGP World Championship live and ad-break free during racing on Kayo.Temperatures will also plunge from as high as 22°C to no more than 16°C. Its gusty setting has disrupted running before, with Saturday qualifying in 2019 postponed until Sunday due to winds blowing beyond 50 kilometres per hour.

The physically demanding Mandalika race will have been good conditioning for the 27-year-old, who thinks the Phillip Island layout will also help to minimise his injuries. “This is part of progress. I would like to arrive here in another shape and full of confidence with the bike, fully fit, but it’s not the moment.”
