Trackside Tuesday: The Austin Selfie

I’ve arrived in Austin and settled into my digs ahead of Round 2 of the 2015 MotoGP World Championship.

As I sat down to write ahead of the coming weekend, I thought back to one of my favorites times from last year.

I’d had a great holiday with my partner Clare prior to coming to the 2014 race and really enjoyed the Austin experience.

While thinking about the weekend I wondered as to what, if any, images still stood in my memory from last year. One I immediately thought of was the MotoGP podium selfie of Dani Pedrosa, Marc Marquez, and Andrea Dovizioso.

Looking at the image in the build up to this year’s race leaves me to ponder who we will see on the podium come Sunday. Sadly we won’t see Dani Pedrosa, as he is currently recovering from further arm pump surgery.

If I was a betting man I’d put my money on Marc Marquez and Andrea Dovizioso to once again make the podium.

As for the final step on the podium, take your pick.
