Gardner clan to ride at 2013 Phillip Island MotoGP

For two years in a row at the end of the 1980s, Gardner thrilled Phillip Island racegoers with outstanding victories on his 500cc Honda machinery.

While the former champ is a regular at the Phillip Island circuit for the Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix, this year will carry extra significance for Wayne as he will be joined by his teenage sons, Remy and Luca.

Gardner is thrilled to be appearing at his favourite circuit once more, especially in a year where the world-famous track is commemorating 25 years since it was first granted a round of the Motorcycle World Championship on its stunning Southern Ocean layout.

"As far as Grand Prix victories are concerned, this is where it all began for me," Gardner remembers fondly, and can relate these memories to his boys' experiences in Spain as they now embark on their own racing careers.

"It's going to be a very special occasion," he added.

"It's always a great pleasure to ride the Phillip Island Circuit. I have enjoyed many special moments there and riding with Casey and Mick will certainly add to this list."

The 2013 Tissot Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix takes place at Phillip Island October 18 - 20.
