Sepang 2006: After an exhausting race, Valentino Rossi brings a chair to the podium and sits down. Loris Capirossi joins him to sit on his lap.

#going through my notes for that vale race rec post and I was gonna include some of these screenshots
#but actually there's screenshots I want to include from parc fermé too because I think they're cute so. this gets its separate post
#if you're wondering how that rec list is going btw I've currently got over eighty races listed I don't want to talk about it
#this race deserves a lot more love tbh. one of the 2006 races nobody would ever shut up about if he'd won the title
#but they don't suddenly stop being good races just because they ended up being in vain!! he was amazing to watch in 2006
#two bits of context that really make this:
#1) vale/loris were engaged in battle the whole race and vale overtook on the final lap before engaging in some?? uh. robust defence
#which I feel like at least a few riders would at the very least have been mildly miffed at but!! not capirossi not with valentino
#2) dani had like?? a deep cut in his knee and it was surprising he'd been able to ride let alone get a podium
#you'll note he's the only guy standing while these two are doing their thing. another big win for empathy
#one commentator is saying literally right after they stand up again that dani had gained the respect of his fellow riders that day
#and you kind of feel like if they took his suffering THAT seriously they maybe wouldn't do all that but well!! anyway
