Australian MotoGP - Race Results

Marc Marquez wins a thrilling Australian MotoGP at Phillip Island as the Yamahas of Valentino Rossi, Maverick Vinales and Johann Zarco fight to the line for second.

A bad race for Andrea Dovizioso, after running wide early on, means Marquez's title lead has grown to 33 points with two rounds remaining.

Home star Jack Miller was returning to action after breaking his right tibia in a trials accident on September 29.

Tech 3's Jonas Folger returned to Germany on the eve of the Motegi round to undergo tests for a suspected recurrence of the Epstein Barr virus and was replaced this weekend by Broc Parkes.
