It was a big success in Qatar and the second and third editions of letting fan questions loose on the MotoGP™ Press Conferences went down a treat in Argentina, too…so here’s a recap of some of the best before we fly off to Texas.
Remember – keep your eye on MotoGP™ social media for your chance to ask, with another opportunity just around the corner on Thursday ahead of the Grand Prix of the Americas, as well as following qualifying on Saturday. And this part of the Press Conference is always shown on Facebook Live!
We shall begin with the reigning Champion, who got a little help from a friend in one answer...

10x ???? sized @marcmarquez93's or 1x ???? sized @ValeYellow46, and why? Hmmm... pic.twitter.com/l7uQOiMHYl
Horse-sized versions of himself aside, Valentino had his own difficult conundrum - and obviously also feels Cal is one to avoid in civvies:
So, @ValeYellow46 - jump out of a plane with @jackmilleraus or ride in the passenger seat with @calcrutchlow in a car chase????????? #ArgentinaGP pic.twitter.com/xGATiQC45m

Dovi was equally perplexed by the rider from Coventry.
Great question from a 'big fan' of @AndreaDovizioso from Coventry, UK...

Aleix had a little more tact when talking about his brother - but also hasn't ever shared a team with him. We'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

Maverick was asked something we'd often wondered. Turns out we were right to ask!
Ever wondered if #MotoGP riders talk to themselves during a race?

Scott Redding just wants to break the rules when he's off track. On track he's on the straight and narrow in P4 in the standings!
If @Reddingpower had a time machine, when & where would he go?????#ArgentinaGP pic.twitter.com/lfhdwCXwJC

Miguel Oliveira is ready for a new career...

...and John McPhee a new wardrobe, with the challenge to make this a reality now moving to Texas!

We'll leave you with the ever-eloquent Karel Abraham after his stunning front row start - and see you next time!
#AskAbraham - What was his secret to front row success today? Could it have been his breakfast?
