"Taking someone on a motorcycle is not simply giving them a ride. Unlike a car, on the motorcycle there is contact, and contact is never a trivial moment but something that leads the relationship into a different dimension. From how the passenger moves, whether or not he goes along with your riding, quiet or frightened exposed as he is to the wind and the nothingness, you can understand so much about him. To take someone on a motorcycle is to talk to him in silence, to know him and to know you, to care for him, to be faithful and responsible. As kids it is a classic way to woo and feel a girl, a mysterious and shared game, like a slow dance. As a father, it is the touch of the small hands of your daughter hugging and clinging to you, her breath that vibrates on your back and ignites the current of a connection different and absolute. The most exaggerated one. That of blood and love." - Dovi about what sharing a motorcycle ride means to him
I’m not gonna lie seeing Marc kneel down in the gravel to bow to his fans was amazing and then I got immediate war flashbacks to his 2020 crash and had to try not to cry cause omg he did it he found the way.
HE IS MY FAVORIITE ANIME PROTAGONIST !!! JEREZ 2020 VS JEREZ 2024 !!!! thank you to dear friend maïna @kingofthering for hunting down the pics from today as i am. on the clock.)
One of the GPone journalists said that at a certain point in parc fermé it seemed that Marquez was looking at Valentino probably expecting even the slightest acknowledgement but Valentino completely ignored him. Nice to see how journalists also write their own fanfics
"eh, anyway Pecco thinks of Marquez as one of his adversaries for the championship, and he has shown his attitude towards Marquez this year: when he [Marc] passes him he tries to pass him right back and that's really important, that's really important because otherwise one like Marquez after that tends to 'eat above you head' [this means 'show his superiority', 'be better'], if he sees your a bit less strong or that you're bleeding he bits you harder"
