Adam WheelerHOST
And Kevin Schwantz, just sort of speaking to them a little bit in the build up to the Grand Prix and asking some of their memories.
Adam WheelerHOST
I thought it was a great way to sort of honour some of the scenes and some of the history that's taken place at this circuit.

Poppy PennyHOST
We are heading to Phillip Island for the MotoGP at the moment in that competition because it is the last one at that track.
Poppy PennyHOST
Wayne Gardner was the 1987 500cc world champion and was also the first driver to win a Grand Prix on the island and will be there to witness the last race there tomorrow.
Poppy PennyHOST
It is a spectacular track and Wayne was pretty heavily involved in getting it together.
Poppy PennyHOST
But you've made your way back to the island for this weekend.

Conor McNallyHOST
This is pre-MotoGP era, so...
Conor McNallyHOST
I guess it was an evolution of what Mick Doohan had done prior to that Wayne Gardner when he won in 1987.
Conor McNallyHOST
And those bikes, those NSR500s, oh, if I really wanted one, it would be Wayne Gardner's bike from 1987.
Conor McNallyHOST
I would love that.
Conor McNallyHOST
Because I remember, I'm old enough to remember when Wayne won the 1987 world title.
