The Two Wheeled Gold Rush of Adelaide The news that MotoGP will be racing through the streets of Adelaide from 2027 has sent shockwaves of excitement – and concern – through the local community.
Adelaide is no stranger to high octane events, having welcomed the Tour Down Under cycling tournament in 1999 and the subsequent influx of Lycra clad enthusiasts.
Retailers are optimistic about the economic benefits of hosting MotoGP events. "It's like having a big name rider come to town," says Noah Orozgani, sales manager at family business Moto Adelaide.
