Fans are set to share the road with more international MotoGP riders than ever before, as World Champions, rising stars, and Aussie favourites take part in the Homecoming Ride on Thursday, 16 October. The ride is a unique experience for fans to celebrate and ride alongside some MotoGP legends.
Casey Stoner
With four World Championships between them, rookie breakthroughs and homegrown heroes, this line-up is the most star-studded to date.
Leading the convoy will be fan favourite and two-time MotoGP World Champion, Casey Stoner, who famously conquered the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit for six consecutive years from 2007 to 2012. Alongside Stoner will be fellow Australian and current MotoGP rider Jack Miller, who the crowd will no doubt be eager to see back on home soil.
The home heroes will be joined by two-time MotoGP World Champion Francesco “Pecco” Bagnaia, currently sitting third in this year’s championship standings, and Enea Bastianini, recently delivering a strong podium finish at the Catalan Grand Prix. Adding even more international muscle is Marco Bezzecchi, who is sitting fourth in the Championship standings in one of the most consistent campaigns of his career.
