Jack Miller and Aleix Espargaro have batted away safety concerns for Adelaide’s street track
Multiple MotoGP race winners Jack Miller and Aleix Espargaro have expressed support for the proposed Australian Grand Prix street track in Adelaide, affirming its ability to meet safety standards. The race will be relocated from Phillip Island to Adelaide’s new street circuit, marking MotoGP’s first-ever event on such a track. Following uncertainty over Phillip Island’s future, MotoGP decided to partner with South Australia’s government for the Adelaide Grand Prix, rejecting a previous proposal to move to Albert Park in Melbourne. The new racecourse will be based on an adapted layout of Adelaide’s former Formula 1 track, raising safety concerns due to its street nature. However, Miller and Espargaro trust MotoGP SEG’s expertise in ensuring the venue’s safety, highlighting meticulous safety features discussed with the organizers at regular meetings. They believe the track will offer a high level of safety, comparable to or even surpassing traditional circuits like Phillip Island. The shift to Adelaide represents an exciting new chapter for the Australian Grand Prix, with both riders expressing confidence in the organizers’ ability to deliver a secure and thrilling racing experience.
