He must've been in the bathroom.
He usually posts the welcome message almost before people know they want to join! I picture him on sunday night, during the race, his joining sense tingling as he reaches for his phone or laptop with one hand, while maintaining his line, stearing with the other, with nary a lapse he types out the message, orders pizza, give his significant other a kiss and calculates pi out to 50 decimal places (100 if he's feeling "frisky")!
And then he wins.
