Oh im obses whit your blog like you are such a great historian on vale and love the way you analys stuff admire the way of writing all of your toughs in such a corent way 🩷🩷🐹

this is so nice, thank you!! okay so this ask was initially sent in response to this post about how marc knew what a dick valentino was to his rivals and appreciated/wished to emulate that side of him, in particular in the context of copying the jerez pass. and... well, there is one more follow-up post to that I did want to make. it didn't really work within that post because it's pretty speculative, but I think it's fun! here goes

so you know argentina 2018, right, big drama, reconciliation over, bla bla (I promise this is going in a more fun direction, stick with me here). there's a bit of marc's post-race media scrum that I am a wee bit obsessed with. or well, two specific lines, one in english (0:00) and one in spanish (1:02) - I've included the full responses for context, but in this post I'm really only interested in those two lines

in english:

But he was in the past also 25 years old, and will remember, everybody.

and in spanish:

He has also been 25 years old and, well, I hope that people also remember.

... 25 years old, did you say?

okay, look, fair warning. the rest of this post is going to be reading too much into what was probably an off-handed comment - even if, I'd just like to point out, it is something he felt the need to say twice. but let's just have some fun here, and read too much into it. as a treat

so obviously the most generic way to read this is him saying 'well valentino used to be really aggressive on-track too, so people shouldn't be criticising me more than they did him'. thing is, I wouldn't say there was that much of a noticeable decline in how aggressive valentino was being, and 2017 did still feature some major scraps where valentino very much got his elbows out (cf assen and phillip island, I included a bit more detail on this in the marc race rec post). sure, valentino did increasingly have his reservations about some of the behaviour of younger riders, so maybe he was less aggressive now relative to the field... but I just don't feel like that's quite what this line is implying. it's also not about valentino making 'mistakes' in general, because there would have been no reason to refer back to past-valentino in that regard... the 25 year old version of valentino was considerably more error-free than the 39 year old

so then, my theory is that it's about valentino's controversies! that's what people "will remember", right - it's not the general style of riding, not just innocent mistakes, it's the times when valentino caused a bit of a stir on and off the race track. now, again, you could go the generic route here and say 'ah well maybe marc is just thinking of all the mess valentino got himself involved in when he was younger, from getting into a fist fight with max biaggi at age 22 to pissing off casey stoner through his aggressive riding at laguna at age 29'. but let's say for a moment that marc was thinking a bit more specifically than that... after all, if we're just talking about valentino controversies in general, surely marc should be able to think of a rather more recent example where valentino, like marc at argentina 2018, caused another rider to crash and was subsequently penalised for his riding? of course, marc probably didn't want to bring up that particular controversy - but it's still interesting he feels the need to refer back to a younger version of valentino at all, the fact that this crossed his mind in the first place to make him bring it up unprompted while making his case. so maybe when marc, who is after all a known valentino rossi fan, refers twice to what valentino was like at "25 years old"... he is in fact thinking of what valentino was like when he was 25 years old. and in what year would that be? well, here's the thing. it would be 2004

readers of the sete post can probably guess where I'm going with this, but let's just take a moment to review what specific on-track incidents marc could be thinking of here. let's give him a little bit of extra leeway in terms of the age, even though I trust marc to be more on top of the exact age gap than valentino was in times past. let's throw in one year either way, so 2003 to 2005, and draw up a list of any particularly controversial races valentino was involved in. here's what I've got:

assen 2004 - valentino executed a hard overtake for the win on the last lap on sete gibernau. he's not in complete control and almost loses the front at the next corner, which would have taken them both out

qatar 2004 - after his team rubber up his grid slot the night before, valentino gets slapped with a back-of-the-grid penalty. he ends up crashing out of the race and burns his relationship with sete in the aftermath

jerez 2005 - at a time when their relationship is already very chilly, valentino and sete engage in another duel. valentino executes a block pass with contact at the final corner and is booed by the crowd

motegi 2005 - the first chance to seal that year's title, and one valentino would very much have liked to take to spite honda. an unwise overtaking attempt on melandri leaves both on the ground

so, my guess is that neither assen nor motegi were really big enough controversies to fit the bill, though maybe they stuck in marc's mind as instances of 'reckless riding' that he includes in a more generic internal understanding of young valentino rossi. we do of course know for a fact that marc was more than aware of what happened at jerez 2005, not least because he, you know, directly copied that move twelve years later (again, link to the relevant post). like marc in argentina 2018, valentino barged into a rival in rather controversial fashion, and obviously it also made the relationship between him and said rival deteriorate still further. sure, you can't really argue the move was 'as bad' as argentina 2018, but as far as I'm concerned it has the same general vibe

you know what else has the same general vibe? here's a race description for you:

a 25 year old rider is sent to the back of the grid for a reason they consider unfair

they proceed to deliver a phenomenal performance even by their lofty standards, quickly working their way up to a position that seemed unattainable to them

they barge a rival out of the way in their impatience, reaching back to apologise for the move

the race ends poorly for them and they fail to score any points

afterwards, their relationship with a rival is ruined as a result of the events of the race, and the whole thing remains a lingering controversy for years to come

one race that fits this description is, of course, argentina 2018. the other is qatar 2004. there's obviously plenty of details that are significantly different - valentino's move on barros is less egregious and far less controversial, and his race ends in the gravel rather than with a post-race time penalty. still, that start of valentino's? the impatience? the post-race fury? the repercussions this race had? come on, look at the race footage I included in the qatar post and tell me there's not a little bit of a shadow of that qatar fury to the argentina recklessness

this is a point I snuck into the marc race recs post, where I included this excerpt from a post-argentina 2018 write-up:

phillip island 2003, hm? as it happens, in the qatar post, I did include a bit of the autobiography that compares those two specific races:

so, phillip island 2003: a performance that made everyone wonder just how much valentino had left in reserve to draw on whenever he needed it. what valentino is saying here is that this performance wasn't a result of him holding back in all the other races that year - this was speed that was accessible to him only in that moment because he was so angry. so yes, maybe it's a valid question to wonder what would have happened at phillip island 2003 if it hadn't just been the ghost of his bike that had to pick its way through the stragglers. then again, valentino says it's not just rage that does the trick for him - it's controlled rage... which is all well and good, except when you lose control

and see also:

that's what argentina 2018 is all about, isn't it? it's a performance that's rooted in impatience, in restlessness, in frustration - where marc tuns his "rage into pure speed", as valentino would put it, in a hubristic dismissal of the rest of the field. ideally, the two of them channel those emotions to spur themselves on to special, signature performances... but sometimes, it gets the better of them. it got the better of marc that day in argentina and cost him the tentative peace with valentino. at qatar, it could have cost valentino the title

(also shades of this in jerez 2020 - an error sets the stage for some extraordinary pace before it all goes wrong) (catalunya 2003 is a fun more compact nephew to that race without the unhappy ending)

now, look, am I saying that marc was really referring back to qatar 2004 specifically, a race that had happened fourteen years earlier, when making an off-hand remark in a post-race media scrum as he tried to do some damage control in the wake of one of the most controversial races of his career? well, no. he could have been! but it's unlikely. maybe he's shit at maths and was actually thinking about laguna 2008 after all. still, I would like to once again point out that he felt the need to mention valentino's behaviour at age twenty five not once but twice. he's telling us that he wants people to remember what valentino was like at that age, and in the most literal sense I am doing what he's asking for. surely it's worth at least noting that there just happens to be a race where valentino was at that exact age and his temper overcame his rationality, leading to him making a costly error... surely it's worth acknowledging this...

even if marc wasn't actually obliquely referring back to that race or indeed any of the races I mentioned above, of course the parallels between valentino's foibles and marc's are in any case interesting. it speaks to how they get those special performances out of themselves, the similarities in how they operate in that regard... but of course also in how they both sometimes stray rather close to the limit, how they repeatedly flirt with crossing the line. a stubbornness and a hubris and a rage that can sometimes lead to disaster for the both of them. and another thing - who knows if marc was thinking about qatar 2004, but he must have been thinking about something. that's the point of that jerez post, right... marc is valentino's successor in so many ways, he has fashioned himself in valentino's image - and he keenly grasps and remains aware of all the different aspects of that legacy. he's the most accomplished of valentino's students and he felt strongly that what he did in that race in argentina was in some way comparable to what valentino himself had been doing at his age, part of the same tradition even. yes, to some extent marc is obviously accusing valentino of hypocrisy here: how can you judge me when you were once young and foolish too? his tone isn't exactly filled with remorse either, is it, he's pretty feisty in that media scrum! still, there's something more to it... something almost poetic to the whole thing, wouldn't you say? valentino had just accused marc of ruining the sport - and in response marc wants people to remember that they are just the same

pecco bagnaia + his parents pre sprint at the spanish gp

[yeastinfectionvale]

Plse plse make a snip of vale droping cele to his dad side (marc) like idk isted lf the parking lot cause this biches are rich would be the private jete gate droping cele whit all his things and vale refusing to go aout and se vale so hi send pecco

HEHEHE Okay so here's what I have (I might write Pecco picking Cele up later)

Vale hung back, staying as close to the car as he could without sitting back inside it. Celestino stood with his luggage surrounding him, looking around at the airfield. It was rare for Cele to be flying via private jet. Valentino would always book them on a regular flight, regular security checks included. But this wasn't a regular visit.

It was his week with Marc.

Marc Weeks were like gold dust, rare but priceless. It was nice to have someone who understood the challenges that came with being a redbull athlete. For Cele, the academy didn't understand that. But Marc did, Alex did and so did the others who were under Redbull.

Celin was pulled out of his thoughts by Vale standing next to him, and arm around his shoulders as the door of the jet opened. Marc began to walk down the stairs as Vale grumbled, "no need for all this showing off. Private luxuries only spoil you riders." Valentino spotted talking as Marc stood a meter in front of them, moving his sunglasses onto the top of his head. Cele walked forwards, hugging Marc tightly as the Spaniard laughed. "It's been a while hasn't it!" He exclaimed linking arms with Cele.

Marc turned his attention to Valentino. "Vale." He said curtly, all warmth in his voice gone. "Marc." Vale replied with the same coldness. He leaned through the window of the passenger seat and pulled out a stack of papers. "He has to fill these forms out and finish these." Vale said, mimicking a clerk in the mayor's office. Marc nodded, hard outstretched to take the papers. Vale thrusted them forwards, attempting to drop them, but Marc knew the trick and grabbed the papers.

Celestino awkwardly watched the pair, greatfully following Alex as they loaded his luggage into the jet. Alex stayed inside the jet as Cele went out to see Marc and Vale in a heated argument. He stood, eyes open wide as Vale turned, noticing his presence. The pair stopped arguing as Vale pulled Cele into him, hugging him with one arm as he pressed a kiss to his hairline. "I'll see you next week." He told the younger Italian before sitting down in the car. Marc shook his head and leaned into the car. "I'll see you next week Valentino." He said before re-linking his arm with Cele's, the pair walking up the stairs and into the jet.

Whym he brought his boyfriend bezz brough alex to the place???? 😄😄😄😄

Italian men are like a special breed nothing that looks like normal reasoning ever goes through their brain ever so. Maybe he's just like that.

But yeah get up buddy it's becoming embarrassing

[42bakery]

Waru did we lost luca or waht cause why is hi smiling crazy like this 😭

Hi there 👋👋👋👋

He was really happy.

So basically he's feeling better and the factory is working to bring new this, Puig hinted they are coming during the summer break.

For them, this first half of the season was about identifying the mistakes, learn the bike and work on solving them based on the knowledge. I'm guessing that they want to solve their problems from the root so they don't keep bringuing them in the future.

And before anyone says Luca is delululu, that he is, he was in front of Joan for most of the race. he was behind Rins, who was behind Taka, and behind Luca there was Joan and Johan and Bradl. This weekend it really seemed better.

I just think that Luca is a visionary and he's is just happy living his Barbie dream

Alfons Mucha ['alfɔns 'muxa] (Ivančice, Moravia, Imperio austriaco.

Lefèvre Utile Galletas de champán-Alfonso Mucha-Fecha: 1896-Estilo: Art Nouveau (Moderno)-Género: comercial-Medios de comunicación: litografía

Alfons Mucha ['alfɔns 'muxa] (Ivančice, Moravia, Imperio austriaco; 24 de julio de 1860 - Praga, Protectorado de Bohemia y Moravia; 14 de julio de 1939) fue un pintor y artista decorativo checo, ampliamente reconocido por ser uno de los máximos exponentes del Art Nouveau. Sus habilidades para el canto le permitieron continuar su educación secundaria en Brno, capital de Moravia; sin embargo desde niño se sintió principalmente atraído por el dibujo. Trabajó en empleos de pintura decorativa en Moravia, principalmente para puestas teatrales. En 1879 se mudó a Viena para trabajar con una compañía vienesa de diseño teatral logrando informalmente completar su educación artística. Cuando en 1881 un incendio destruyó el negocio de sus empleadores, regresó a Moravia, trabajando de manera independiente, haciendo pinturas decorativas y retratos. El conde Kart Khuen de Mikulov lo contrató para decorar con murales el castillo de Hrusovany Emmahof, y quedó tan gratamente impresionado que acordó apadrinar el aprendizaje formal de Mucha en la Academia de Bellas Artes de Múnich. Perteneció a la masonería y llegó a ser Gran Maestro de la Gran Logia de Checoslovaquia. Además de estar muy interesado en el esoterismo, teniendo relación con otras organizaciones esotéricas e iniciáticas aparte de la masonería, en la que también llegó a ostentar el grado 33° del Rito Escocés Antiguo y Aceptado. Mucha se mudó a París en 1887 y continuó sus estudios en la Academia juliana y en la Académie Colarossi, produciendo al mismo tiempo ilustraciones para revistas y publicidad. Su salto a la fama lo logró con su primer cartel litográfico para la actriz Sarah Bernhardt y su Théâtre de la Renaissance, el cartel anunciaba la obra Gismonda de Victorien Sardou, apareció en los primeros días de enero de 1895 en los muros de París, y causó una auténtica sensación. Sarah Bernhardt ofreció inmediatamente a Mucha un contrato de exclusividad por seis años. Los carteles realizados para ella contribuyeron a difundir la fama de la actriz más allá de las fronteras de Francia. Hasta 1901, Mucha no solo fue responsable de los carteles publicitarios, sino también de las escenografías y los vestuarios del Théâtre de la Renaissance. Fue esta obra, con su estilo exuberante y estilizado, lo que le dio tanto fama como numerosas comisiones.
