Title: Last MotoGP Race
Post by: Team Gorgonzola on November 07, 2017, 02:15:45 AM
Hi y'all, I've spoken with Green and Dragon about hosting a last race of the season viewing. I will have to check the time it's shown but usually from Europe it records around the early morning. Can't promise anything but I might make some oven-baked pasta to snack on while watching my beloved marque finish second..... ;D
Respond if interested. I will pm address.

PS I live close to Maverick at the bottom of VC...wink

Are you talking about watching it live, or watching the recording at a more reasonable hour? The race is at 0500 PST.

It was discussed to either host it at Team G's or at someone else's place on Sunday before noon...

so race delayed.

I went for a trail ride at Moonrocks instead yesterday. Watched the race when I got home. It was disappointing.

TG, I have Rossi in my truck.  Swung by your place of work around 10:30 PM last night, but it was closed and dark.  I'll be by there again tonight after work ~5:15 PM.

Thanks again for hosting.  Great food and company.  WHAT A RACE!  Yet again another favorite to watch again and again to see the drama unfold.

Found out from the post race interviews that Marc Marquez's doctor told him he's losing hair from the back of his head due to stress.  Wants him to get away during the Winter break to decompress, stay off motorcycles. 

Marc Marquez stressed?  No way.  Really!?  Maybe if he didn't crave the challenge of stamping his name on the 2017 season, but instead just circulating around to protect his championship, he might have been a little more relaxed.  Oh wait.  He doesn't know any other way to ride.

Couldn't find a slowmo of MM's low side save.  Give him credit for saving it and finishing on the podium.   

Thanks again for bringing Rossi to the party, the Mrs got a kick out of it!

I apologize for not replying sooner, got busy working and forgot to "check in".
It was a pleasure have like minded motor-heads at the house to watch the last race of the year.
Thank you all for coming.
Perhaps the 1st race next year??

I'm game for whatever works.  That was fun.  Maybe next time too, I'll be able to ride over, which is even more fun!
