Casey Stoner took third consecutive victory at his home soil, as he managed to keep Valentino Rossi behind in a race that did not brought too much direct fight between two riders. Rossi was close behind Stoner through complete race, but never close enough to overtake Australian. Lack of risky ride for Rossi was also due to the fact that his main title rival, Jorge Lorenzo, crashed in first lap after mistake that led to collision with Nicky Hayden. Dani Pedrosa rode his own race to 3rd place, finishing 22 seconds behind Rossi.

Alex De Angelis took 4th position after great weekend, in front of Colin Edwards. Andrea Dovizioso was 6th, while Marco Melandri took decent 7th place. Randy De Puniet lost battle for 7th from Melandri and finished in 8th, while Mika Kallio edged Toni Elias for 9th place.

After Phillip Island, Valentino Rossi increased championship lead to 38 points, which puts him in great position with two races remaining. Casey Stoner returned to his winning ways, proving once again that his three-race break was good decision and that he will be the one of main favorites in remaining races.
