It's that time of the post-GP week again, and we've got a few good ones for this round's Twitter Highlights. So off we go!
First off, Jack Miller (Estrella Galicia 0,0 Marc VDS) took matters into his own hands this year in getting to Termas de Rio Hondo. But remembering the trip last year and the pan pipes, maybe it was more at the behest of his team and this was just good cover.
Looks like @jackmilleraus isn’t taking any chances with the flight out of Argentina this year ???? #panpipefreetravel pic.twitter.com/N68yIa33T8

Once we arrived, it was Fan Question time in the Press Conference, and they do say you'll love your job if you follow your passion. So it's nice to see Cal is still a fan as well as a rider...
Thank you @MotoGP for asking my fan question to @AndreaDovizioso in press conference today …

When it was his turn to answer rather than ask, the two-time GP winner had a corker (and we think his response was pretty apt):

VDS were a little early for Texas cowboys, but they have gauchos in Argentina!

They also had rain. And Mahindra decided it was time we got our sh- stuff together:

#MotoGPWeatherWatch2017 (see?) chaos aside, it was anything but chaotic for the Aspar squad in Argentina!

Well done, Karel!!#ArgentinaGP pic.twitter.com/chSPGiPBqe
A little before qualifying heroics, though, it was less plain sailing for Marquez. And no, we don't know how he did it either.
CAUTION: Slippery when wet.@marcmarquez93 tops FP4 & so very nearly stacks it with a practice start! Superbly held ???? #ArgentinaGP pic.twitter.com/ZI3gJgt15U

We've been trying not to overuse this but after two 1-2s...the time seems right. So let's turn and burn:
Pretty sure this is how @maverickmack25 and @ValeYellow46 enter @MotoGP weekends... pic.twitter.com/ElmAeFjdxQ

On the other hand, Albert Arenas likes to stretch and feel the burn... #riderok!

Last but not least, Vale answers another classic question in the Press Conference. Please keep 'em comin'!
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
