Phillip Island 2012 date under threat By Matt Beer Monday, February 14th 2011, 14:14 GMT MotoGP commercial rights-holder Carmelo Ezpeleta says a date change is critical to the Australian Grand Prix at Phillip Island keeping its place on the calendar next year. Poor weather has blighted the event in recent seasons, with Friday practice delayed by a flooded track in 2010, and strong winds and very low temperatures causing problems for riders throughout the weekend. Valentino Rossi said at the time that the riders would push for the race to be moved from its current October slot to an early-season date as soon as possible, and now Ezpeleta says this has become a firm demand if Phillip Island wants to retain the race.
