Round 15 - Phillip Island

Duration: 1 hour, 15 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC One WestLatest broadcast: on BBC One Northern Ireland

Matt Roberts is in Phillip Island to host live coverage of the Australian Grand Prix.

Phillip Island is known as a circuit for riders, so it is no surprise that Valentino Rossi has finished on the podium in each of the last 11 years in various classes, including winning five times in a row from 2001 in the premier division.

The track also holds happy memories for Britain's James Toseland, who managed to overtake Rossi for the first time in last year's race. At one point, the Tech 3 Yamaha rider looked to be in contention for a first-ever podium place and eventually finished sixth, equalling his best result of the season.
