You couldn't have asked for a nicer day in Orlando today. (Sorry to rub it in for the NE airport passengers who are still stuck.)
The proud papa RC is here and talking about, well everything. His last SX and his first weekend as a dad are happening at once.
As you read before, RC got in his Chevy truck after some press work on Thursday and pinned it in the middle of the night to make it to Tallahassee just in time to be a papa. He got a helicopter ride in for this morning.
As far as his last SX, is he distracted? Yes, for sure, and he knows it. He told TV during the track walk he's going to have to focus on keeping it safe tonight. After the show, he will hang out a bit and then go back home to see the new family. The twins are still in the hospital of course and he will be back for their arrival at home.
Travis Preston is out due to a hurt shoulder from practice on Monday. Andrew McFarlane is out too from a crash at Reed's.
The King comes to pay respects to the GOAT.
Stephan Everts flew in from Europe to watch RC's last supercross. Fortunately he flew in from Miami and missed the travel disasters in the NE.
When asked was he going to celebrate with RC afterwards he said sure, but not like Matterley!
