Awesome pair of media events in Argentina

The atmosphere here in Villa la Angostura for the MXGP of Patagonia Argentina is something special. MXGP is all about embracing cultures and enjoying the world tour, so when the opportunity arises for the riders to spend some time with the press, organizers and fans in a unique location or two, everyone jumps at the chance.

Earlier today, Neuquen Tur organized a traditional Asado lunch at the La Escondida Casa de Huéspedes Spa and Resort for all of the riders, media, organizers and authorities. Monster Energy Yamaha Factory Racing’s Romain Febvre, Honda Gariboldi’s Tim Gajser, Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s duo of Max Nagl and Christophe Charlier, Wilvo Virus Performance KTM’s Shaun Simpson, Team Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Petar Petrov, Team Suzuki World duo Jeremy Seewer and Kevin Strijbos, Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Davy Pootjes, Hitachi Construction Machinery Husqvarna’s Ben Watson, MP32 Tip Top Racing’s Milko Potisek and TM Racing Factory Team’s Samuele Bernardini joined Youthstream’s Director Mr. David Luongo, CEO’s Mr. Daniele Rizzi and Mr. Didier Henroid, and the FIM/CMS Director Mr. Tony Skillington, as well as the organizers Villa La Angostura’s Major Mr. Guillermo Caruso, Secretary of Nequen Government Mr. Marcelo Raimondo, General Manager of Mas Eventos Mr. David Eli, President of Neuquen Tur agency Marisa Focarazzo, Deputy of Villa La Angostura Guillermo Hensel and Secretary of Tourism of Villa La Angostura Mr. Pablo Bruni, for a meet and greet with the press and a bite to eat.

La Escondida Casa de Huéspedes Spa and Resort is nestled on a lakefront and framed by misty forestry and snow-capped mountains. The location was absolutely breath taking and had everyone in awe. During the event, some of the riders took the opportunity to go out on a boat while others spent time with the media doing exclusive photo-shoots and interviews. After the main activities, everyone was treated to an artisan style lunch of Asado, which is a special style of BBQ’d lamb, beef and pork, and an array of grilled vegetables and sauces such as homemade guacamole and salsa.

Later on in the evening, a distinct event featuring a free style show and a signing session took place for the fans in the alpine style village of Villa la Angostura at the Plaza de los Pioneros. All of the riders showed up where they were completely bombarded and supported by the eager and passionate fans. It was one of the best autograph sessions MXGP has ever seen with the fans extremely pumped for the grand prix that will kick off tomorrow.
