i am begging you to put the nico wait for it edit on tumblr so i can plaster it all over my wall and cry 😭 (or tell me it’s already here so i can hunt for it)
i don't post edits here but i love this edit so why not, there you go🤍
"Hey, more numbers. 46." "Valentino’s number." "I say it—what does it make you feel now?" "Nothing special." "Honestly?" "Now… well, you see it and you say… Four or five years ago… It was like…That bastard." "This guy was your idol. Let’s tell the story." "Yes." "This guy was your idol." "Yes. I had two. Pedrosa and Valentino, both of them."
[Valentino Rossi was for years the absolute king of the circuits. His personality, both on and especially off the track, made him a global idol. And among those fans was little Marc. Until he grew up, clashed with Rossi, and threatened his reign. It all exploded in 2015, in Malaysia. Márquez was already out of championship contention. Rossi and Lorenzo were fighting for the title, and then, unexpectedly, the Italian accused Márquez of favoring his fellow Spaniard. Look at Marc’s face. He’s in shock, right? Then, in a chat with journalists, Rossi went straight for Marc’s throat.]
"Someone put ideas in his head?" "I think yes" "Against you?" "Yes, against the situation." "But you had his phone number, you could’ve called him and said…" "Well, yeah, because when you're fighting for…I mean, and he had mine too." "And did you call each other?" "No. I was 22 years old. I mean, 22 years old. He…He’s more than 10 years older than me. More. So, he was the one with the experience. And well, the thing is, he gets to the Malaysia press conference, and that’s when he attacks me publicly. For me, that was a lack of respect." "And after that press conference, didn’t you pull him aside? Didn’t you two talk privately?" "I wasn’t supposed to pull him aside; he should have done that with me." "Well, either of you could have. It takes two to argue. I mean, you could have…" "No, I was just…I didn’t react." "You were in shock." "I was in shock. I didn’t react. I didn’t know how to react." " Okay." "I think it was a move to intimidate me." "Because he saw you as a threat." "A threat to what?" " Well, to his status, to himself, to his…" "Maybe to his championship, yes." "But that race was one of the best, according to experts." "One of the best first laps ever. It was a fight. A fight to the very end. Well, to the end—until he decided."
[And what seemed impossible happened. In the Malaysia race, Rossi kicked Marc and knocked him down.]
"Did you fall or did he take you down?" "He took me down." "Could that have been accidental?" "No, that’s losing your temper. It’s impossible for that to be accidental, no. Accidental is when you overtake aggressively, your bike slips for a moment, and you collide with another rider. But it’s not accidental to push a rider off the track, look at him, and then stick your leg out. That’s not accidental. That’s deliberate." "Three years later, Argentina." "Yeah." "There, you knocked him down." "Yes." "Was it revenge?" " No, that was accidental." "Oh, so when you do it, it’s accidental? But when he does it, it’s deliberate?" "That’s it. I’m the good guy, and he’s the bad guy." "Of course, sure. Have you spoken again after all that?" "Yes, after Malaysia, we did. But after Argentina, we haven’t spoken again." "This could be solved over a drink." "You as the mediator." "I’d gladly put on the helmet and be the referee. Who would’ve thought? Me, in this role! But I’d step in and say, "Come on, Valentino, come on, Marc," and fix this. All behind the cameras, away from all the noise." "I don’t think so. There’s no willingness." "From you or from him?" "From both. I used to be open to it, but not anymore. I don’t need to be friends with everyone."
mhhhhm so i feel slightly insane after all this. there's so much to unpack!!!!!
him saying he doesn't feel anything hearing vale's number yet he still calls him valentino...he says pedrosa and valentino.....i don't know why he's never called him just rossi. to distance himself. the fuckin adele song on the flashback i can't i'm on the floor. never mind i find someone like you?????? wtf is wrong with those people. also him saying i was fucking 22 like yes baby you were that's crazy to think. and it's crazy because marc is like i didn't do anything about because he should've come to me. he should have reached out he had my fucking phone number. can you imagine young marc phone in hand in his motorhome waiting for a text from vale saying that everything is just a joke, that he doesn't mean it but the text just never comes....devastating. the way is voice raises a little bit when he answers a threat to what??? gosh. and how he says like no it's not accidental like it's just not. omgggg and this interview was in 2023......when will they be normal about each other. someone give me a gun please!!!!
I'm so glad I live in a world where there's Archive of Our Own
I love Casey stoner so much because like look at him??? He’s the hater, is brutally honest, is dgaf about you, and his racing style is just so good he rode like a worrier who knows he WILL survive. He didn’t ride for the show. He rode that bike for the victory. I remember my uncle who recommended me to watch the Motorsports races said he’s a Rossi fan but the way Casey rode was just impressive.
And he’s aussie. I love aussie people. And his smillleeeeee and his voice too. Love him.
words cannot explain how important those two norwegian boys were 2 my character development
if house md were running in 2024 there would be an episode with a patient who identifies as an ‘online content creator’ (cagily) where house agrees to take the case primarily because when he offhandedly refers to her as an onlyfans model both cameron and cuddy get really offended and say it’s a sexist assumption so he doubles down and becomes committed to finding the patient’s onlyfans and proving it. at some point it would be revealed that chase actually is an onlyfans model and started doing it as a stopgap after his dad died and he suddenly got disinherited but he makes so much money off it that now medicine is basically just a hobby. cameron and foreman both disagree with the concept online sex work but it turns out they disagree for different reasons (cameron thinks it’s exploitative and not-feminist, foreman finds it distasteful and thinks people should get ‘real jobs’) and spend most of their scenes together arguing about this while chase gets continually more shifty. they break into the patient’s house and there’s a full ringlight and camera setup which seems to confirm house’s suspicions. while trying to find the patient’s onlyfans house accidentally finds chase’s onlyfans instead and considers publicly embarrassing him about it like he did with wilson’s sex tape but soon realises that most of the staff at the hospital are already subscribed to chase’s onlyfans so makes fun of him for that instead. it then transpires that the reason why the patient is so cagey about being a content creator is that she’s an ASMR artist and all the soap she’s been shaving on camera has irritated her lungs. cuddy is about to make house give her 20 extra hours of clinic duty as recompense but at last minute it’s revealed that the website the patient uses for some of her bonus commissions is, drumroll…onlyfans, because she’s been banned from patreon. how does house know this? wilson is subscribed to her because the soap videos sometimes soothe him to sleep. something by cigarettes after sex plays. roll end credits.
so uh, that F1TV commentary of the GP huh?
some brocedes lore is actually insane it reads like a gay fanfiction. what do you mean they talked about their dreams while lying under the stars on his dad's boat (DREAMS THAT THEY ACHIEVED FYI) what do you MEAN lewis wrote nico a letter that he never read what the fuck
