I was at David's, along with Wolf at 9am, to watch MotoGP from Austria again (3 in a row there) but it was late starting so we had to watch Moto2 for a bit. Since I almost never watch Moto2, and don't know the riders, I don't find it interesting.
Luckily MotoGP was ready for broadcast when that was finished. My main guy, Marc Marquez, apparently reinjured his broken arm trying to open a stupid window so will likely be out another 2 months, costing him this year's championship. My next 2 favers, Dovioso and Binder had mediocre days but that didn't stop the race from being extra exciting!
About 1/2 way through the race Maverick Vinales (gotta love that name) lost his brakes at 206 kph and bailed from his bike, luckily missing getting hit by other riders. The bike did not throttle down and was still doing 170kph when it hit the air wall and spectacularly burst into flames. Incredible...!!
A red flag restart for 12 laps bunched up the riders again and the lead changed hands many times. At the end Espargaro and Miller changed the lead a few times, but went a little wide with 2 corners to go and the #3 rider Oliveira snuck past them both for the win! Another incredible happening!! Oliveira ended up winning a BMW car for his brilliant win.
Aram messaged me needing 4 more documents printed and the Epson worked very well. Then he needed a copy of Jireh's passport and the Epson did a stellar job on that too. Epson also supplied an updated app for doing handy things like collages so I had to test that out.... I like!!
I hope you enjoy the pictures. That was the day’s excitement.
