In a shocking turn, French sensation Fabio Quartararo secured a brilliant pole position at Phillip Island Qualifying, delivering a massive boost to the Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP Team. ‘El Diablo’ not only snatched pole but set a New All-Time Lap Record (1’26.465), narrowly outspacing the scorching pace of Marco Bezzecchi in a tense Q2 session. This unexpected pole position fuels speculation about the Yamaha V4 project progress and sets up a mouth-watering battle for the Australian Grand Prix race win.

Marc Marquez Injury Update: Absent from Phillip Island and Malaysia
The 2025 MotoGP World Champion, Marc Marquez, has been confirmed as out for both the Australian GP and the subsequent Malaysian Grand Prix (Sepang). Following a high-speed collision in the previous Indonesian race, Marquez underwent successful surgery for a right shoulder blade fracture and ligament damage. His Ducati Lenovo Team replacement rider for Phillip Island is veteran test pilot Michele Pirro. Fans looking for the latest on the Marc Marquez return date are focused on the penultimate round in Portugal.
Bezzecchi Double Long Lap Penalty Details
Aprilia’s Marco Bezzecchi showed phenomenal outright pace throughout the weekend, but the Italian rider will face an uphill battle in the Grand Prix due to a severe judicial blow: a double Long Lap penalty for his crash with Marquez at Mandalika. This makes his quest for a podium exceptionally challenging and forces a highly strategic approach to manage the mandatory Bezzecchi penalty time loss in the main race.
Australian GP Weather Warning & Sunday Race Start Time Change
Organizers have proactively adjusted the Australian GP Sunday race schedule by one hour due to severe weather forecasts, a crucial decision for Phillip Island safety protocols. The MotoGP Grand Prix race is now scheduled to start later in a bid to avoid the worst of the anticipated high winds and cold conditions.
