It's Sunday morning at the Circuit of the Americas, and the parking lots are quickly filling up with fans.
The weather is currently overcast, with some wind. Spotting rain drops.
The Honda V5 powered KR211 MotoGP bike was fired up this morning for an enthusiastic crowd.
There's some bizarre action unfolding in the paddock. A group of MotoGP riders are (attempting) to play catch with a football for some European cameramen in what is clearly a PR stunt. It does my heart good to see that these motorcycle racers, including Francesco "Franky Bags" Bagnaia and several others, are completely hopeless at ball sports.
Also, this t-shirt is leading the race for the most bizarre garment worn at the track—reminiscent of that time MM93 won the Daytona 200. Remember that? Ummmmm ...
