Phillip Island is a <strong>historical circuit that has been part of the World Championship since 1989,<\/strong> and the asphalt poses a particular challenge for tyre manufacturers. In 2016 and 2017, Michelin manufactured a specific compound for the circuit and it is hoped that this year another similar solution for this persistent problem will be presented.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Strong winds<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>As it is close to the sea, winds at the circuit can be very strong. These winds are also cold on Phillip Island, lowering the temperature on the track where they hit the hardest. That&#8217;s why there is little grip on certain sections of the track, while on others the asphalt is hard on the tyres. The winds don&#8217;t only pose a problem for the tyres \u2014 they also push the pilots when they&#8217;re very strong, forcing them to reduce their speed and causing them to move around the track.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bxrepsol.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/static\/2022\/08\/05044653\/16AustraliaMgpREPSOL_JOC0619-scaled.jpg\" \n   title=\"Dani Pedrosa rodando en pista sobre la RC213V\" \n   data-gallery-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/bxrepsol.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/static\/2022\/08\/05044653\/16AustraliaMgpREPSOL_JOC0619-scaled.jpg\"\n   data-gallery-title=\"\"\n   data-gallery><\/p>\n<figure>\n        <picture style=\"padding-bottom: 66.666666666667%; background-image: url(https:\/\/bxrepsol.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/static\/2022\/08\/05044653\/16AustraliaMgpREPSOL_JOC0619-scaled.jpg);\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bxrepsol.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/static\/2022\/08\/05044653\/16AustraliaMgpREPSOL_JOC0619-scaled.jpg\"><br \/>\n            <img itemprop=\"image\"\n                data-srcset=\"https:\/\/bxrepsol.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/static\/2022\/08\/05044653\/16AustraliaMgpREPSOL_JOC0619-scaled.jpg 480w, https:\/\/bxrepsol.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/static\/2022\/08\/05044653\/16AustraliaMgpREPSOL_JOC0619-scaled.jpg 600w, https:\/\/bxrepsol.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/static\/2022\/08\/05044653\/16AustraliaMgpREPSOL_JOC0619-scaled.jpg 900w, https:\/\/bxrepsol.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/static\/2022\/08\/05044653\/16AustraliaMgpREPSOL_JOC0619-scaled.jpg 1280w\"\n                data-src=\"https:\/\/bxrepsol.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/static\/2022\/08\/05044653\/16AustraliaMgpREPSOL_JOC0619-scaled.jpg\"\n                alt=\"Dani Pedrosa rodando en pista sobre la RC213V\"\n                title=\"16 Australia 15, 16, 17 y 18 de octubre de 2015; circuito de Phi\"\/><br \/>\n            <noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bxrepsol.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/static\/2022\/08\/05044653\/16AustraliaMgpREPSOL_JOC0619-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Dani Pedrosa rodando en pista sobre la RC213V\"><\/noscript>\n        <\/picture><figcaption>Dani Pedrosa rodando en pista sobre la RC213V<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Changeable weather conditions<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>We already know that the climate on Phillip Island is unique, as is the case with all the GPs of the Pacific tour, but this is especially true of Australia.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.boxrepsol.com\/en\/motogp-en\/motogp-weather-station\/\"> The weather is completely unpredictable<\/a> at this time of year and the blazing sun can give way to pouring rain in a matter of hours.
