First of all thank you so much for answering a couple of my questions even though they were all anon, I have a potentially dumb question but what are the factory bikes and setelite? -I don’t know how to spell it correctly sorry- and like why does Ducati for example have a lot of riders?
Hi there anon 👋👋👋👋
First of all, thank you to asking them and wanting to know more. There is never a dumb question because we all can learn something. And don't worry about being on anon, we are all scared at first.
Now What is a Factory and a Satellite (autocorrect did change it for me, I don't know how to spell it either) bike?
A manufacturer is the ones that buit the bike and are the same manufacturers that sell the street bikes: Ducati, KTM (although they do lots or mostly of road), Honda, Yamaha and Aprilia. But it's also Triumph (does the Moto2 engines), Husqvarna, GasGas, CF Motos, MV Agusta, Kawasaki, Suzuki, and etc.
Now a satellite is a bike owned/rented* by a privat team such as LCR, Tech3 or RNF (just to say some).
*The main difference between them is that the Manufacturer team is the one that builds the bike and maintains it, while the satellite team just buys or rents it for 1 year. Now it's mostly renting of the bikes and then return it to the manufacturer team. Not all the satellite teams do have the same status or even the satellite riders. For example, Yamaha used to just rent the bikes and didn't allow the satellite riders to test their new parts, whereas Ducati is now shoving the testing into the Pramac team, when it's usually the Factory riders the ones that do this. Honda used to give LCR a current bike and then a 1 year older bike to the other rider (mostly Taka). Yamaha did that too with Fabio and Franky.
Now let's dig into Ducati, shall we? They have 1 factory team, the Ducati Lenovo Team and 3 satellite bikes: Prima Pramac Racing, Gresini Racing MotoGP™ and Mooney VR46 Racing Team. There are differences in them. Lenovo and Pramac do have the 2023 bike whereas Gresini and Mooney have the 2022 bike. As I said, Pramac does most of the testing of the parts or at least last year (under the cut why) so them and Lenovo get the updates (first Ducati Lenovo Team as they are the factory and has priority, and then Pramac). Usually Gresini and Mooney don't get those updates because they already start with the last spec of last year's bike. They can get them as a present, but way later or if it a safety issue.
Now why does Ducati have an army? Because they are the best bike. satellite bikes are own privately, so they can change manufacturers when they want (they have contracts that says until when they can use their bikes, but after that they can change their minds). It could be due to a better bike offering them to be their supplier or getting a better offer, such as an sponsor or having to pay less for the bikes. Because of that, lots of teams want to have a Ducati, so they just rent their bikes. Ideally, Carlemo Ezpeleta, DORNA's CEO and one of the visible faces, said that his dream is or used to be to have a 6 manufacturers championship with each of them having a satellite team, to make it more fair because right now it seems to be a Ducati competitions (fair for them, but sometimes sucks).
I thinks that's all anon. Sorry I went a bit more into the political side of MotoGP.
I didn't forget about the why Pramac does the testing and the factory team gets to use it first. I just didn't want to upset Pecco's fan, and if you are one, sorry.
So basically at the start of last year Pecco went to the media and said he was unable to prepare his weekend and do the testing, so Ducati just asume it and gave that responsibility to Pramac, which to be honest is unfair. Every rider wants to be a manufacturer one because it means the glory and develop the bike, and to be honest is unfair to get the credit when someone else is doing the hard work. Being a manufacturer rider usually means a bigger salary than the satellite one, and at least last year Jorge didn't have it.
Again sorry for going political about this

Aubree opened the stall door as Star turned to look at his new visitor. He whinnied happily as he took a few steps to Aubree and nuzzled his nose into her vest. Aubree giggled as she reached up with her free hand to rub between the stallion's ears. After a few moments, Aubree gently pushed Star back and poured the feed into the bucket on the wall. Star's ears perked up as he swung his head to the bucket for breakfast.
Aubree smiled as she turned and reached into her duffel bag and grabbed a soft brush. She walked up to Star and began to brush the shavings off of his back as he ate. Aubree took in a deep breath as she tried to clear her mind. Sure, this was far from her first show, but Aubree was extremely nervous. She had never chosen a playlist for a horse to show with. She had never let her horse go free in an arena for a panel of judges to judge the gait of her horse. Not that there was anything wrong with Yuma's Shining Dream; he was an amazing horse and his career was only beginning.
"I can feel your nerves from this side of the door," Rachel observed from her spot at the stall door. Aubree looked up and tried to give a genuine smile.
"First time butterflies," Aubree replied, turning to switch her soft brush for a comb.
"Ah, those are very pesky things to get rid of."
"What if something goes wrong? Star is a good horse, but what if he just stands in the arena?" Aubree asked as she began to comb his mane.
"I don't think that is going to happen. Star has been really good at doing what he should when he hears the music. As long as you have the playlist going, he is going to do what he was trained to do," Rachel reassured, reaching through to rub the star of his head. Star raised his head in recognition of affection.
"I know. But still, I'm really worried."
"Aubree, even if that happens, which I don't think it will, it is good exposure for Star. Everything is going to be fine."
"You really think so?" Aubree asked as she moved from his mane to his tail.
"Of course. This is a very good boy, with an amazing handler. Things will be fine," Rachel assured, stepping in with Star's halter and lead rope.
Aubree finished combing Star's tail and placed his number tag to his hind quarter before trading the comb for the halter and lead rope. Star lowered his head for Aubree to slip the halter on and fasten it. Rachel stepped aside to let the team out of the stall and make their way to the arena.
Aubree took one last deep breath before she assured herself that what Rachel had said was true. They would be okay and Star would do just fine.
Aubree walked Star out into the middle of the arena and removed his halter before leaning forward and whispering to Star,
"You got this."

Alex Rins admits that the deal with LCR Honda is imminent
Alex Rins admits that the deal with LCR Honda is imminent
Suzuki rider Alex Rins will be owned by Lucio Cecchinello of Italy until the end of the season when the Hamamatsu Photonics factory withdraws from the tournament, and this year it will be a two-year contract with Alex Marquez satellite team Honda LCR. I admitted that it was close. This morning, he and Ducati announced a deal with the Gresini team. “The truth is, yes, the details aren’t closed…

Hi girl! ♥️ Can you do one about Alex Marquez who has his girlfriend as a grid girl when she joins him on a race weekend as a suprise? ☺️ Thanks!! 💕
Man, My Girl is Smokin'
Author's Note: This is probably the favorite fic I've written so far for various reasons... 👀 Enjoy, love! ❤️
Tumblr media
"Hi, may I speak with Y/N please?" you heard a man speak through the phone after you answered.
"This is she."
"Hi! This is Lucio. How are you?" he asked, a smile painting your face. You always had a good friendship with Lucio. You, him, and Alex all got along very well.
"I'm good! How are you?"
"Good, good. Hey, I was calling because I have an offer to make you. Since the grid girls are coming back this year, would you want to partake and be the grid girl for Alex?" he asked.
"Oh Lucio, that would be amazing! Thank you so much for the offer! I'd love to. Do I need to come in for measurements?" you asked, giddy at the thought of surprising Alex with this.
"Yeah. We'll do that tomorrow and then get the outfit ready for you by Sunday for the race."
"Perfect! I'll be there tomorrow. Oh, and Lucio? Do me a favor and don't tell Alex about this. I want to surprise him." you heard him chuckle on the other end of the line.
"You got it Y/N. See you tomorrow!"
You hung up the phone and squealed to yourself, but not too loud so as to disturb a sleeping Alex in the other room. He had decided to sleep in today and get some much needed rest. He had been working tirelessly with his team to find ways to improve the bike for the 2022 season, but there was still the Valencia race left in the 2021 season. You were so excited to get the outfit sized tomorrow, but you just had to figure out how to get away from Alex for a couple hours without him suspecting anything. Picking up your phone again, you drafted a text to send to Marc.
You:
Hi Marc! Have I told you how awesome you are lately?
Marc:
....What do you want?
You:
I need you to distract Alex tomorrow. I got a call from Lucio just now and LCR is wanting me to be the grid girl for Alex. I want to surprise him with it.
Marc:
That's awesome! Congratulations! I can arrange a lunch or something tomorrow with him and I. I gotchu, don't worry. 😘
You:
Thank you Marc! You're a lifesaver...
Marc:
I know...😏
Giggling at his last message, you turned your phone screen off and went into the bedroom with Alex. He looked so peaceful laying there, and you decided to join him. A princess needs her beauty sleep, right?
-
The next day, you woke up in Alex's arms and smiled to yourself. Turning around in his hold, your heart filled with love at the way his eyelashes rested gently on his face when his eyes were closed, the way his hair was sticking up in every direction, and the way those soft lips enticed you into kissing them. Many smiles had graced Alex's face over the years, and you loved the little crinkles that would show up around his mouth and his eyes when he smiled. His smile was one of your favorite things about him and it always made your heart skip a beat when he flashed it to you.
"Mm... Good morning." he gruffed out, tightening his hold around your waist lightly before snaking his hand down to grab a handful of your ass. You giggled when you felt him trace his lips lightly on your neck. One of Alex's favorite pastimes in the morning was holding his woman close to him before his day started. He loved feeling your soft skin beneath his fingers, and he always loved the reactions he pulled from you when he would bury his face between your neck and your shoulder and snarl like he was a dog about to eat you alive. The giggles that always fell from your lips were like music to his ears and he wanted to remember every second of every minute he could get with you in the mornings.
"Good morning to you too, Mr. Marquez." running your thumb over his bottom lip before craning your neck up to kiss him again.
"You're so warm." he whispered, holding you closer to him. You smirked to yourself and put your cold feet on his legs, which was quickly followed by a high pitched squeal from him.
"NO! Stop it! I hate your cold feet." he pretended to cry. Have you ever seen a grown, almost 6 foot tall man fake a cry? It was hysterical...
"But you're so warm! And my feet are cold." you laughed and pouted out your bottom lip.
"That's not the snuggle deal here. Upper half only, not cold feet. Woman! Stop it!" he shouted, poking at your side as you put your foot on him again. You shrieked as he started poking at your sides repeatedly now, the covers long gone off the bed as you kicked your feet to try and stop him.
"Ahh! Alex stop it!" you laughed, red in the face now. You managed to grab his hands, lace your fingers together, and straddle him to get him to stop. He gave you a suggestive look.
"Oh, so this is where you're going, huh?" he smirked.
"Maybe." you leaned down, putting his hands still laced with yours above his head and kissing him. Rolling your hips against him lightly, you felt his breath hitch and a groan fall from his lips shortly after at the pressure you put on him. Breaking away from the kiss, you looked at the clock and noticed that it was almost time for you to leave to go get fitted for your grid outfit. Marc had called Alex yesterday, and they had made plans to go out to lunch around 12pm. It was now 11am, so you rolled off of Alex and he groaned at your teasing.
"You have a lunch to get ready for and I have some errands I need to run today. We need some groceries." you said in a convincing enough way for Alex to buy your excuse.
"You are such a tease, you know that?" he watched you walk around the bed, his eyes raking over your body that he'd burned into his memory countless times before.
"You love it." you winked over your shoulder at him as you walked to the bathroom to brush your teeth and wash your face. He followed shortly after, and you were both out the door in about 30 minutes. He kissed you before you got in your car and drove to the address that Lucio sent you yesterday.
"Hi! I'm Y/N, I'm here to get sized for my grid outfit on Sunday." you said to the receptionist. She smiled at you and walked you back to the fitting room.
"Let me go grab my measuring string, I'll be right back sweetie." she smiled, shutting the door behind her. A few moments later, she returned and took your measurements. She directed you to the right sizes in the store and let you pick your own outfit, which you thought was really cool. After about 20 minutes of searching for the perfect outfit, you finally found it.
The top was a black double push-up bra that covered your entire chest, but there was a tear drop shaped slit right where your cleavage was. Alex was always a sucker for you wearing outfits that showed off cleavage. The bottom was a pair of cute black and white spandex shorts that were very fitting to your curves and your body shape. For the shoes, you decided on a pair of flaming red heels that had black spikes on the heel. Alex was going to die when he saw you in this outfit...
On your way home, you remembered that you'd told Alex that you needed to get groceries as part of your lie, so you made a quick stop at the grocery store to grab a few things that you did actually need at home. Making it home, you unpacked everything and waited for Alex to get home from lunch with Marc.
Hearing his car pull up the driveway, you excitedly jumped off of the couch and went outside to greet him when he got to the front door. He put his hand at the small of your back and towered over you to kiss you before walking inside with you.
"How was lunch?" you asked, cutting up some fruit that you'd just bought so that you could snack on it.
"It was good! We talked about the race on Sunday and how he wishes that he could be there." Alex said, his voice a tad bit sullen at the thought of his brother not being well enough to race again.
"How's his eye doing? Any better, worse?"
"The swelling has gone down a lot so it looks better. When he looks to far down though, he says he gets so dizzy and sees double."
"Gosh... That's such a shame. He's already been through so much this year. The poor man just can't catch a break..." you shook your head, thinking back at the year that Marc had had.
"I know. I feel so bad that he can't race. He is asking me almost every day when I'm training how the bike feels and how the training sessions are going. I can tell he's getting frustrated with everything that's been happening recently." he said, walking to the bedroom to change his clothes with you following close behind him.
"Did you get lunch while you were out?" he asked, putting on a more comfortable shirt and some sweatpants. You nodded your head and continued to eat your fruit.
"Yeah. I stopped and got a sandwich at that really good sandwich place by the store we always go to. Totally overate and I'm really not hungry, but the fruit I got at the store was just too good to not eat some right now." you said, ears perking up at his chuckle that followed.
"You're my little foodie." he smiled, kissing you as you sat on the bed and smiled back at him.
"Do you have anything else you want to do today before training starts tomorrow?" you asked him, watching as he shook his head.
"Not really. You?"
"Nope. I'd be happy just to sit here and watch the day pass by with you." you smiled to yourself at the blush that dusted his cheeks when you said that.
"Let's put on a movie." he suggested, laying next to you in bed and starting up a movie. For the rest of the day, you both sat and did absolutely nothing with each other. There's a lot to be said for that...
Over the next 2 days, you went with Alex to the FP and Qualifying sessions. As focused as Alex got during these training sessions, you were always there to make sure he stayed hydrated and fed because he did tend to forget about those two very important steps.
On Sunday, it eventually got to the point where he had to go out on the grid. Giving him a quick kiss before he drove out of the pit lane, you rushed back to the changing room to change into your outfit. Keeping your hair in the classy updo it was already in, you checked yourself in the mirror one last time before walking out of the room to get to the grid. With Alex starting 20th on the grid, you had the opportunity to walk past all of the other riders who all took second looks at you. As soon as you were within sight of Alex, you could see him lower his sunglasses on his nose and look over them at you as you strutted over to him.
"Is that who I think it is?" he asked when you got within earshot of him. Hearing him wolf whistle at you as you got closer, you got his umbrella and opened it above him, giggling at the gawking expression he wore right now.
"I don't know. Who do you think it is?" you flirted, placing a quick kiss on his lips.
"I think it's my sexy fucking girlfriend, ohhhh my god... You look incredible." he checked you out, eyes lingering just long enough on the spot of your top that was cutout.
"Remember when you went out to lunch with Marc the other day?" you asked, his head nodding with his mouth still dropped open at how stunning you looked.
"Marc helped get you away from me for a little while so that I could go pick this outfit out." you giggled at the glare he shot into the pit lane at Marc.
"Love you bro!" you heard him shout, followed by Alex pointing at you and making a thumbs up sign to Marc. Throwing your head back and laughing at their banter, you felt his arm go around your waist. You thought he was going to hug you, but instead he whispered something in your ear that made your insides twist in delight.
"I hope you realize that when this race is over, I'm ripping that outfit off of you and fucking you into the mattress until you're screaming for me." he finished it off by placing a kiss right below your ear. Too stunned to respond, you felt him tap your ass as it was time for you to walk off the grid back into the pit lane.
The race seemed to pass by in the blink of an eye, your mind being too occupied thinking of what Alex said before the start. He had you crossing your legs sitting in his chair just thinking about him, you couldn't wait to see what would happen once he got a hold of you behind closed doors.
He made it back to the pit lane and cheekily winked at you as he flipped his visor up to look at you. You bit your lip lightly before he turned around and talked with his mechanics for a little while before retiring himself back to his trailer. As he was walking out of the garage, he stopped by you sitting in his chair and held out his hand for you to take it. As much as a gentlemen as Alex always was, you knew that he what he was about to do was anything but what a gentlemen would do... It's what a man would do when he lusts after his woman and claims her as his. Before you could open the door to the trailer, you heard Marc yell behind you.
"Great race Alex! Wear protection kids!" he waved at you laughing, you and Alex following him shortly after in a fit of laughter before barging your way into Alex's trailer.
Without a single word spoken, Alex started to take off his boots and his leathers as quickly as he could with you standing in front of him practically dripping wet after all this time of him not touching you. As he took his boxers off, you dropped to your knees practically salivating at the sight of his dick. He shook his finger at you before you could get to work though.
"Stand up for me baby." he lilted, holding your hand to help you stand up. Even with your heels on, you were still noticeably shorter than him and he loved every minute of it.
"Today is all about you in this godsend of an outfit. Let me worship you." he sighed into the skin of your neck, slowly kissing his way down your chest and running his tongue through the part of your cleavage that was showing. With your hands in his hair, you leaned your head back and let a breathy moan pass by your lips. The way that Alex treated your body was always more than you could handle. He made you feel things that no other man could ever make you feel. The way his lips caressed your body, the way he would hold your hips in his calloused hands, the way that his eyes would dare you to try and wiggle away from him when he had his head between your legs...
As he kissed his way down your exposed torso, he pushed at your hips to back you against the wall. And let me tell you... The sight of your man, who you both knew was definitely the man of the relationship, getting on his knees in front of you was one of the single most hottest things you've ever seen in your life. He was not afraid to worship you and make you feel like the queen that stood by his side. And if that meant he had to get on his knees everyday for you, he would do it in a heartbeat and didn't care what anyone else thought. Only you mattered.
His hands started from your ankles and snaked their way up your freshly shaven legs, his lips ghosting just above the fabric of your shorts. His nimble fingers that you'd grown to love over the years made quick work of the button and zipper on your shorts, letting them pool at your feet before helping you take them off the rest of the way. Normally, he would gawk over the sexy lingerie that you'd chosen to wear, but all he was focused on was what was underneath it all. He hooked his fingers underneath the sides of your underwear and slid them down your legs as he'd done with your shorts, but this time he kissed down your thighs to chase the falling fabric. Kissing his way back up, he got dangerously close to your inner thighs before teasing you and going back up to your hips.
He let his tongue lazily drag from your left hip to your right hip then back to the center, stopping to place a kiss right above your womanhood. Glaring his eyes up at you as you started down at him, chest moving with the pace of your quickening breath, he picked up one of your legs and draped it over his shoulder so that he had full access to your dripping wet pussy. He started off by blowing a cool stream of air onto your wetness, and your head dropped back against the wall at the sensation. Your mind and heart were beginning to race at the thought of what he had in store for you, and you were getting tired of waiting.
"Alex please..." you whined, running your fingers through his soft black hair. You heard him chuckle lowly before surprising you by entering 2 of his long fingers inside you suddenly. Had it not been for his other hand sprawled against your lower stomach to hold you against the wall, your leg would've given out.
"Oh fuck!" you squealed, biting your lip and smiling at the sensation of his fingers moving in that deliciously dreaded 'come hither' motion.
"Look at you... Already so wet and I've barely touched you. Do I really make you this wet amore, hm?" he hummed as he placed a dangerous kiss right above your clit. At this point, with him talking to you that way, your wetness was dripping down his hand and he loved every second of it. Every second of watching you fall apart and writhe above him was something he loved to memorize.
"Answer me." he lifted your back from the wall and swatted at your ass, a shriek falling from your lips before you answered.
"Fuck yes. You always make me this wet baby."
"That's what I like to hear." he gruffed before ducking his head and going straight for your clit. Slapping your hand against the wall, a breathy gasp fell from your lips as you other hand pulled at his hair. He was always full of surprises when it came to anything, but especially in the bedroom. He knew your body like the back of his hand and knew when to go hard, but also when to slow it down to egg you on a little bit.
You felt him groan against you when you pulled his hair, the vibrations causing your body to holt in response and almost fall forward. His hand was still sprawled out against your lower stomach and he loved to feel your stomach twitch every time he sucked on your clit just right. His tongue and his fingers seemed to work in tandem with each other, finding the perfect rhythm that made you want to pull your hair out and scream from pleasure.
"Oh my god I love your fingers..." you sighed out, letting out a devious little giggle when you felt him add a third finger to your pussy. He changed to scissoring them inside you and you whined at the stretch it provided you.
"What is it about my hands, hm? You like the way I use 'em?" he teased, kissing his way up to your stomach and standing up to tower over you. You gave him your best innocent eyes and nodded your head, biting your lip when he increased the pace of his fingers inside of you.
"Yeah? You like the way I choke you?" he ghosted his fingers around your throat, eyes almost black with lust as he looked at how large his hand was compared to your small neck.
"Fuck yes." you whined, grabbing the back of his neck to pull him into a heated kiss. After a few moments, he pulled away just enough to smirk against your lips and speak in a devilishly low tone.
"And I know you love it when I do this." his hand collided with your ass, the echo ringing throughout the room along with a sharp squeal of approval from you.
"Because you're such a naughty girl, aren't you baby?" he chuckled, your wetness dripping down onto the floor at this point.
"Only for you daddy." you whined, knowing what that nickname did to him. He groaned out lightly against your lips before removing his fingers from you and stripping you of your top. Taking your left nipple into his mouth, he tugged it between his lips before biting down lightly, loving the way your back arched off the wall into his touch.
"You are so fucking beautiful." he groaned before moving to your right breast and leaving a purple mark on the skin. Before you knew it, he had put both your legs over his shoulders so that you were almost touching the ceiling of the trailer and your pussy was right at his face. His fingers spread your lips apart and he wasted no time in getting to work. Once his lips were wrapped around your clit, one arm stretched up to wrap a hand around your neck while the other one gripped your breast firmly.
This was what you lived for. Being ravaged by Alex was the sexiest thing that you've ever seen him do. Once he got it in his mind that you were his, he would stop at nothing to prove that to you and have you shaking underneath him just by a single look. At the same time he treated you like a princess, he would turn around in the same breath and have your panties soaked with just one sentence, look, or touch. After 3 years together, the lust from both of you never dissipated, and by the looks of your legs around his shoulders right now, you didn't think that was going to happen anytime soon.
"O-oh fuck. Oh my god, Alex! A-ah!" you whined, feeling your pussy tighten around nothing when he squeezed your throat just hard enough to get your toes to curl. When he was going this hard on you, he didn't bother to respond to your moans with words, no. He responded by actions. Either speeding up what he was currently doing, or adding something new that only made you pleasure ride. And right now, he chose the first option.
In response to your moans and whines echoing through the room, he increased the speed of his tongue, and it almost felt like hw as spelling out the alphabet expertly on your clit. Alex never disappointed when eating you, and today was certainly no exception. You felt his tongue poke at your entrance before he angled his head to where he could fuck you with his tongue for a moment, a delicious sounding moan reaching his ears in response.
"God I love that tongue... Oh! Right there, ahhh." you hissed when his tongue snaked back up to your clit and began to flick it rapidly. You felt that all too familiar fire burning in your lower stomach, and it was getting harder and harder to contain at this point.
"More baby... I want more." you begged wantonly, needing just a little extra push to get you to cloud nine.
"As you wish princesa." he smirked at the way your stomach visibly twitched at his pet name for you. His hand that was on your neck came down and so easily inserted those two delicious fingers back inside you, his other hand still holding a firm grip on your breast.
"Ah fuck! Oh my god I'm gonna cum!" you moaned, toes curling as you felt the beginnings of your orgasm rip through you. Alex took this as his cue to up his game even further and take his hand from your breast down to swat your ass multiple times. Between the wonderful sting from his hand on your ass to his fingers working wonders inside you and his tongue claiming you as his, you fell apart before you even knew what was happening. Toes curling, back arching off the wall, breath hitching in your throat, and your hands gripping at whatever part of him you could reach, you came undone for him. He swore that was always the most beautiful thing he ever saw from you.
"Oh god... A-Alex stop I ca... I can't." you whined when he removed his fingers from you and kept lightly licking at your clit.
"Hmm... Remember when I said that I'm going to fuck you until you're screaming for me?" he pulled his head from between your legs and looked up at you, a dangerous glint in his eyes.
"You haven't screamed enough for my liking." he smirked, dropping you so that your legs were not around his waist as he walked you to the bedroom and laid you gently on the bed. He placed his lips on yours and smiled lightly at the way your hips twitched when you felt his dick brush against your sensitive core.
"Then make me scream daddy." you lilted in his ear, a growl falling from his lips before he brought his hand down to guide his cock inside you. From you still coming down from your previous orgasm, you were still super tight and that drove him wild. A loud groan ripped its way out of him as he threw his head back, holding his hands at the backs of your knees to keep your legs spread wide for him.
"Aww is he giving up now?" you pouted lightly, teasing him to get him going and make him rougher. "Such a talker, but he can't walk the walk." He rolled his head down and opened his eyes with a new fire in them.
"You better watch your mouth young lady." he snapped his hips forward, slowly dragging them back and then snapping them forward once more. Your thighs were already shaking from oversensitivity, but you relished in the feeling of it.
"Or what?" you taunted, coming face to face with him as he lowered himself over you.
"Allow me to show you, since apparently I'm too much of a talker." he pecked your lips before standing back up at the edge of the bed and pounding his hips into you. You were so glad that this bed was sturdy, because he was fucking you so hard that the mattress was moving off of the box spring. Skin slapping filled the room along with you breathy moans and his occasional groans of approval from how good you felt around him. His hand released your left knee and came to slap at the back of your thigh before going back to your throat just like earlier. Your small hands wrapped around his arm as he squeezed lightly on your throat, strained whimpers falling from your lips when his other hand came to rub at your clit.
"You gonna cum again, hm?" he asked, tilting his head down at you and smirking when you were rendered down to only a whine for a response. With his hips or fingers never failing at speed or precision, you felt your ears ringing and your toes go numb as your legs closed around his hand between your legs. The grip on your throat was released so that he could force your legs apart once more, his fingers never stopping the friction on your clit to fuck you through your most powerful orgasm yet.
"That's my good girl. God look at how wet you are, jesus christ..." he groaned, watching as he milked your orgasm for all it was worth. The remnants of your high was very evident on his dick and dripping down his thighs, the sight alone enough to make him that much closer to his cloud nine.
"Fuck you're gonna make me cum babygirl, ugh..." he groaned, pulling out of you and jerking himself off. You swatted his hand away and took over, his breath increasing when he felt your touch on him that always held some sort of power over him.
"A-oh fuuuuck." he hissed out, your eyes watching the way his abs flexed when he breathed in and out right before he released onto your stomach. As soon as he was finished, you took your finger to gather some of his cum off of your stomach and brought it up to your mouth to swallow it, giving him innocent eyes.
"Those eyes do not match what you just did, you little vixen." he smirked, grabbing your jaw lightly between his fingers and kissing you intensely. Pulling away, he rested his forehead on yours and smiled at you.
"I love you." Looking up at him with your legs still wrapped around his waist, you smiled and rubbed your thumb across his slightly red cheek.
"I love you too honey." you pecked his lips before he rested his head in the crook of your neck to catch his breath. After a few minutes, he went to go grab a towel to clean you up.
"So I take it that outfit was a good idea?" you asked, snorting out a laugh at the look he gave you when he walked out of the bathroom with the towel in hand.
"If you wore that all the time, I would eat you for breakfast, lunch, and dinner." he chuckled, wiping your stomach off and throwing the towel in the dirty laundry.
"Well... You might just be seeing more and more of that outfit then." you suggested, standing up to go shower.
"I'm sold." he chuckled, kissing your neck before stepping into the shower with you and winding down for the rest of the day.
You had to remember to thank Lucio for calling you with that grid girl offer the other day...

How you meet~ Headcannon
Fabio Quartararo:
You meet Fabio at a photoshoot. Originally someone else who worked for the brand was supposed to do it but they were sick and the shoot couldn't be postponed so you were asked to do it. You did have some experience with big shoots like that but you were still quite new to working professionally so it was a big deal to work with someone other than a model. Being unfamiliar with MotoGP you decided to familiarise yourself with it which turned out to be a bad decision as you became obsessed with watching races and following all the riders and it made you really want to make a good first impression.
Safe to say you were quite nervous by the time the shoot rolled around but as soon as Fabio introduced himself you felt better because he was so friendly and was happy to make jokes about how both of you lacked experience. The whole time it didn't feel like work as everyone there was laughing and having fun, it was probably the best shoot you'd ever done because it was just so natural and there was no fake smiles or weird poses that look unnatural but everyone seem to do. Halfway through you had a break for lunch and Fabio came to sit with you and got to know you better as well as checking out some of the photos you'd taken which he complimented you on which no one else has ever done before. After the shoot he invites you to dinner and then you begin to hang out more until he finally asks you on a proper date.
Marc Marquez:
You meet Marc when you start working for the repsol team as a pr manager, to start with you worked for his brother Alex when he was part of the team but once he left for lcr you were told you would be working for Marc upon his return. This was exciting for you but very stressful at the same time as Marc is a big name and so there is a lot of media appearances to keep up with and manage especially after he was away from racing for so long. It was so hectic that for the first few races of the season you barely saw Marc as you were running round doing a million other things and so his crew chief was helping you out with making sure all interviews went ahead without a hitch.
Eventually once things calmed down you got to spend a bit more time focussed on Marc which was nice as it meant your job was less stressful and you got to finally get to know one of the best riders in the paddock. You already knew a bit about Marc from what Alex had said but what you didn't expect was for him to know some things about you but turns out since Alex found out your would be doing pr for Marc he told him some of the things he'd learnt about you. Marc was very sweet and if it had been a long weekend he would get your your favourite drink to say thank you, he would also do anything he could to make things less hectic for you. All of this created a great friendship between you two that later led to more when he asked you on a date unexpectedly one Sunday after a good race.
Alex Marquez:
Meeting Alex was very unexpected but you just happened to be in the same place at the same time however going opposite directions which is how you began to talk. You were in Cervera for a few days visiting some family who had moved there when you decided to go out and explore and along the way you went to get coffee but just as you were leaving the shop someone walked into you causing the coffee to spill over you and the floor. The stranger in front of you was instantly apologetic and blamed himself while you blamed your lack of attention but ultimately it didn't matter whose fault it was.
Alex then introduced himself to you and insisted that he buy you a new drink which you tried to object to not wanting him to feel like he had to but he objected and did it anyway. Seeing as the two of you were there you decided to sit together and talk a little more as you were both intrigued to know more about each other. He was very open about what he does for a living but was relieved when you simply wanted to know more about it rather than how much he makes which only strengthened his liking towards you. Both of you enjoyed your talk so much that he offered to give you a small tour of Cervera which you accepted and so you two walked the streets together as he pointed out the best spots for different things as well as some of the places with the best views which really were incredible. After that he walked back to your hotel with you and gave you his number which meant a one off trip to Cervera turned a lot more and eventually led to you moving there.
Pecco Bagania:
You met Pecco one day while at the vr46 ranch visiting your brother who spends a lot of his time riding there. Your brother had told you about some of the guys because he was friends with them but you'd never met any of them nor did you know what they really looked like. So when you were standing to the side and someone came up to talk to you you thought nothing of it because everyone around seemed really friendly. The guy asked you what had brought you to the ranch so you told him about your brother which started a proper conversation, neither of you introduced yourselves you just kind of talked about racing and he asked a lot of questions about you in an attempt to get to know you better.
The two of you talked until your brother came over and said Pecco's name which is when it all clicked in your brain exactly who you were talking to. When you realised you got slightly embarrassed that you had absolutely no idea who he was and were just talking like you would with any other person and probably seemed like an idiot because you really should have know especially as your brother often talks about Pecco. All 3 of you talked as a group which allowed your brother to properly introduce you to each other and say about a million embarrassing things about you just to annoy you. Eventually your brother left and Pecco invited you inside to sit somewhere quieter away from the noise of all the bikes to continue your conversation, the entire time he was such a gentleman and pulled out your chair for you as well as holding doors open. Before you could leave that day he got your number and a few days later asked you out on a date which your brother teased you about for hours.
Jorge Martin:
You met Jorge by pure coincidence there was nothing special about your day nor had you done anything different to your usual schedule. It was a random Friday afternoon and you had gone out for a run like you always did after finishing work as you liked to get out in the fresh air after a long week of work, you followed the same route bad you always did and stopped in the place you usually do as it's a nice flat sport before a large hill and there is a few benches with a really great view. This time however for some reason there was a lot of people in your usual resting place taking up most of the space but you did manage to find somewhere to sit alone until a guy comes over and asks if they can join you.
The guy began to talk to you and so you began to talk too out of politeness but quickly you went from only being polite to actually enjoying the conversation and wanting to know more about the man sat beside you. Both of you got carried away in the conversation before realising you should probably get back to your lives but when you began to head the same way it was clear you were running the same route. You tagged along with Jorge for his run which was longer than you usually go for but you enjoyed being with him so much that it was worth the sore muscles you got the next day. Eventually you guys make it back to near where you live and you go to just say goodbye to Jorge thinking it would be one of those occasions that you meet someone and then never see them again but he asks for your number so you can go on a run together again. These runs together quickly turned into going for coffee then into proper dates.
Jack Miller:
Your first interaction with Jack wasn't exactly under the best circumstances but that was through no fault of his own. You were at a nightclub supposedly with friends who had ditched you the second they got drunk and found some guy to talk to like that always do and you ended up sat alone in the far corner of the bar. People has mostly left you alone only the odd interaction with your friends when they asked for something that was until this guy who was very clearly drunk tried to hit on you despite your obvious aversion to his advances. Jack noticed this from the other side of the club and decided he couldn't just leave you to deal with that guy so he went over and tried to get the other guy to leave nicely but when that failed he pretends to be your boyfriend which does the trick.
Once the guy had left Jack invited you to join him and his group of friends which you did because he seemed nice and it wasn't like any of your friends cared about you anyway. He apologised for pretending to be your boyfriend but you thanked him as you were bored of saying no to the other guy. You both sit and talk for a bit before he goes to get drinks for you both which you tried to tell him he didn't have to do but he insisted as he wanted to make sure you had fun despite what you'd told him about your night thus far. He really lived up to that promise as he talked with you and danced with you for the rest of the night until it was the early hours of the morning when you both decided it was best you go home but he wouldn't let you leave by yourself so he made sure you got home safe. Before he left you used your confidence from the alcohol to ask him for his number so you could hang out again in the future which you ended up doing but as a date instead of as friends.
Joan Mir:
You and Joan met first when you were teenagers during school as you had moved and ended up going to the same school as him. He was in a few of your classes and so you both talked casually when you worked on things together but you were never really friends. When one of your friends started to date one of his you guys ended up hanging out together a bit more in your separate friend groups but you never ended up very close to each other. Any relationship you had faded after you finished school as he started to focus on racing and you moved over to mainland Spain to go to university which made any form of contact very difficult and seeing as neither of you had strong feelings about each other you just didn't bother to keep it up for more than a few weeks.
A few years later you two happened to run into each other again when you went to a MotoGP race as it was happening near by as you had heard a lot of things about how good the races are to watch. You went with your friend who was much more into it than you were so he got you a vip pass so you got to walk around the pit lane. While walking around you saw things with the number 36 on a garage which you recognised as Joan's number but thought nothing of it until you actually saw him. That's when things got weird as he noticed you and came over to talk to you he asked how you were doing and you asked him about his journey to motogp until he had to go but he made your promise to come back later so you could talk more. You lived up to your promise and went back to see him after all the track action was over and he took you to his motorhome and got dinner for the both of you, it was a really fun night which you didn't expect as you thought it may be a little awkward after not talking for so long but you actually got along better than you did in school and worked out you actually had a lot in common that you never realised before. You both stayed talking for a few hours until it was well and truly dark outside but when you went to leave he wouldn't let you go on your own and so he drove you back home and before he left he asked you on a date which you accepted and you guys went out the next day.

You seem a little bit stressed, so going to propose a 'game'.
So to spicy up the championship, FIM/DORMA/Ezpeleta decides to throw a curve ball to the riders, so at least one rider of each manufacturer has to switch to another one for a race. Which drivers are switched, in your opinion and to which team? You can switch people also within the manufactures like someone from Ducati to Avintia, but at least one of them has to switch manufacturers. You can make as simple or as complicated as you want.
I only want to cheer you up.
anon ive been scribbling away on a piece of paper during my study break to make decision for this and i have enjoyed it so thank you <333
I kinda went all out and mixed up a ton of people but oh well :)
ill put it under a cut bc its long ahaha
Suzuki
Maverick -> moves here bc seeing him on the yam just makes me sad these days, sending him back to his roots in a team that is now world champion
Rins - stays bc i just cannot imagine him anywhere else
Aprillia
Savadori - stays bc he just needs consistency for now
Rossi -> moves here bc he brings money and Aprillia need that to bridge that last little gap at the front, also they are both Italian so it makes sense
Honda
Repsol
Pol - stays just bc i didnt want him anywhere else
Taka -> gets a promotion bc hes been solid for honda for the past year or so
LCR
Zarco -> He seemed quite good on the Honda when he filled in for Taka at the end of 2019 so i’d like to see more
Martin -> We’ve already seen what he can do in a few races on a ducati, so up the difficulty and see what he’s made of
Yamaha
Factory
Fabio - stays bc what they have going on rn seems to be working very well
Franky -> gets the promotion we all know he deserves
Petronas
Iker -> this kid deserves a better chance, he’s destroying his soul on that ktm and his boss keeps being mean about him so im saving him
Alex M -> his riding style would be much more suited to the yamaha and honeslty i just want him off the honda bc im scared he’ll have a really nasty crash
KTM
Factory
Marc -> this guy is crazy chuck him on the ktm and see what he can do, i want to know if he could outride the problems on that bike
Brad - he stays due to being the best ktm so far this year
Tech 3
Miguel -> unfortunately he gets a demotion but honestly he was having a better time last year so will he really be that sad about it
Miller -> for this one mainly im just interested to see what would happen on a bike similar to the honda which he didn’t have a good time but now that he’s older would it go better or not?
Ducati
Factory
Pecco - stays bc he looks good in red lol and i think the ducati style really suits his style
Mir -> would like to see him on a different bike that was better in quali to see what he could do starting closer to the front every race
Pramac
Aleix -> would like to see what he would do on a better bike bc he’s not really had a proper chance
Danilo -> I’ve brought him back bc he’s having an awful time at ktm and if Dovi had made up his mind about retiring earlier i think there’s a chance ducati would have kept him
Avintia
Luca - seems to suit his style, obviously hes on an older bike so i think if he toughs it out a while we could see some good results
Enea - same as luca to be honest, they both need the consistency to build up their performances
ahhhh that was long but thanks anon i did enjoy it :)

Grand Prix of Styria Preview
After what has felt like an eternity, MotoGP is back, and it returns to a track which usually gives us a brilliant race, due to the long straights and sharp braking zones! This circuit could be the weakest for Yamaha this year, so the other teams need to make the most of these next 2 events!
Ducati, as always at the Red Bull Ring, come in as favourites, and could have as many as 4 riders vying for the win this weekend! My pick for the win would be Miller, as this track should suit his aggressive style of riding. Zarco and Bagnaia have been consistent all year, and that will likely continue here, with Zarco is particular chasing his first ever win! With FP2 rained out, we only have FP1 to go off, where Ducati didn’t really show that much. Zarco was top of the bunch in 9th, however when it matters tomorrow, you have to expect that they will be back up where they should be! Marini and Bastianini are taking their time to get up to speed this year, but will want to show very soon why they deserve to stay in the top class of Motorbike racing!
You cannot underestimate Honda on a track like this, where their power could really come in handy! Marquez has had 6 weeks now to rest his body, so we could now see the true Marc, who may put a spanner in the works of other teams plans! As we have seen all year, Nakagami is doing really well on the LCR bike, and was in contention here last year! It is hard to say whether Pol wishes he had stayed at KTM, as either option isn’t exactly looking amazing! Honda had 3 bikes in the top 6 today, so look good to have another strong weekend here!
Having won a race here last year, and the fact that the KTM is a rocket in a straight line, it would be logical to expect them to be near the front this year. Yet, given how tough 2021 has been for them, nothing is a given, so if they can’t get it to work in the corners, it won’t matter how good they are on the straights! They were nowhere really today, although like Ducati, I do expect them to find something overnight, and perhaps get a rider or two into Q2. With the strength and depth of the field this year, I think it is unlikely they can repeat their success here from last year, especially as their main man, Olivera, took a rather large hit today, which could hamper him for the rest of the weekend!
Despite having the same power issues as Yamaha, Suzuki have been able to go better here in the past than the other Japanese outfit! They nearly won here last year, as Mir pulled away from the field, only for a Red Flag to come out, and today both riders have been at the front, making the most of the long sweeping turns, which favour their bike! Much like Miller, Mir’s riding style could serve him well in the race, as he always makes up places in wheel-to-wheel battles! Rins meanwhile just needs to secure some points, and gradually build up from there, after a diabolical first half of the season!
This year has been almost dominant for Yamaha and Quartararo, so it is not out of the question that they could go well here, although I see it rather unlikely, at least in terms of the win! They have not been able to change much from last year, where they struggled very badly around this track, and even saw a brake failure for Vinales. Speaking of Maverick, who knows where his head will be, as he rides for a team, he knows he is leaving, and will not be as focused on him anymore! That decision still seems barmy to me!
The factory Yamaha boys should be able to crack the top 10 in both qualifying and the race, but that could be all they get! It was finally confirmed this weekend, that Rossi will retire from the sport at the end of the year, which is really sad to hear, as he will leave behind a hole in the sport that no one can fill! That being said, we did not enjoy seeing him ride around at the back of the pack, so it was the right choice to make! In better news, Crutchlow is back in MotoGP, riding Morbidelli’s bike, as he recovers from a knee operation. Don’t expect much from Cal on an old Yamaha here, I am sure that Silverstone will be the one he is watching out for!
Finally, Aprilia are a bit of an unknown at this track, as their engine isn’t the most powerful, however, we could find the bike works well in the corners to make up for it. My guess would be that Aleix could be in the top 10 again, which isn’t exactly a wild prediction given his form this year, but it will be tough to do that, as he could get muscled about by riders with more power!
Half of the grid could probably win the race on Sunday, and many will have a good shot at it, I just hope we have a safe race, after the scary incidents we saw here last year, which no one wants to see repeated!

Wait, please explain why you ship marc and rins? I need to know 🤔
The firs time I watched MotoGP, I liked a lot Dani Pedrosa, and when I learned that he retired in 2018, I was so sad. I decided that I needed to read some fics, it didn't matter if Jorge&Dani or Vale&Dani. Somehow, I found the fic 'Someone like you' where the main pair is Vale and Jorge. I had to admit that it's not my cup of tea, but it’s well written. The author tried to bring reference from the races (2019), which is one of the reasons I wanted to watch them. In the fic, there's a moment, where Rins and Márquez is hinted, and somehow it stuck in my head. There's also a one-shot/drabble where the two of them were with Rins dogs and I felt that they could work because 'Enemies to Lovers'. I can not longer find the second one and it's more difficult because in AO3 there's no tag for it.
Once I decided that I wanted to watch races, I started to follow a Spanish YouTuber which knows people in the paddock and usually comments some of the rumours. I have to say that some things are also mentioned by the MotoGP commentators. Like for example, he was one of the first to mention Ducati's interest in Luca and that he was going to be a MotoGP rider in the Avintia/Esponsorama team or that Pol was moving to Repsol Honda team and Álex to LCR Honda. So in one of his videos, he commented the incident between Rins and Marc in Brno 2019, where Marc messed with Álex's lap, and when both went to the pits he pushed Álex. I admit, I didn't watch that  I wasn't into MotoGP at the moment, but for me, it's significant because Álex had only won one race at that moment (America 2019) and he hadn't won aganist Marc... So, as I see it, Marc was clearly targeting Rins because he sees a World Championship contender in him.
So basically I read a hint of them and the 'Enemies to Lover' trope I was hooked to it.
My intention wasn't to write an essay about it, but alas, here I am. Thanks for the patience to read it and I hope it wasn't a complete mess.

Summary: you can't run from the past, especially when it catches up to your future and changes the way your loved ones look at you forever. Happiness, Sadness, Anger and Heartbreak, that is the cycle of discovering, no matter what it is you find.
Note: This is shit, I’m tired, full of writer’s block and crying over the fact tom holland is 22, Sebastian stan is nearly 36 and I'm a lonely fish.
BTW THIS WILL BE A MULI PART SERIESSSSS
Pairings: Bucky x English!Reader, Avengers x Reader
Warnings: 1st chpt is hella angst, swearing, slight steamy shit❤️
                                               -------------------
the sound of your bedroom door being slammed open early on a Monday morning is not the way anyone would want to be woken up.
your hand quickly scrambled under your pillow hastily grabbing your Ruger LCR as you rushed up out of bed only to be greeted by Steve looking like a deer caught in headlights, not an intruder.
"Oh god sorry (y/n) ! You didn't answer my knocks and I got worried...could you please put the gun away?" his flustered face smiled at your alert features, now covered in messy hair from the abrupt awakening.
"Sure, sure, I'll put the gun away, as long as you promise not to break my door down again unless you're sure I'm dying or if Bucky falls asleep so I can draw on him, as this is the 4th time you've done this in a month! Just let a woman sleep steve, it's 6:30 am and I hardly got any sleep in the first place." You grumbled placing the gun back under your pillow before flunking back into bed covering yourself with your duvet slightly feeling the mattress shift as a sorry looking steve sat beside you.
"He's an asshole." He whispered angrily while lowering the duvet from your face
"Language!" You snapped back as you grabbed the duvet from his hands where he sat annoyed
"Not you too." He groaned while rolling his eyes at the sight of you wrapped in your duvet like E.T .
"No but seriously (y/n), he's a highly trained assassin but can't seem to see that he's consistently flirting with a girl who's head of heels in love with him and hen goes on to 'have fun' with other women right opposite your room while your sleeping, it's ridiculous." He sighed while running his hands through his blonde locks.
"Who said anything about love." Your face filled up with a rosy pink blush as you sunk further into the mattress.
"Sure (y/n/n), sure, but you need to get up we have a meeting, see you in a bit." He laughed and kissed your forehead, meanwhile you just groaned when just walked out of your room stealing the duvet as he went down the corridor.
Roughly pulling up your shorts before putting what you believe was Steve's hoodie on, you made your way downstairs and into the conference room. Stepping through the glass door your eyes scanned the table as a half-asleep Natasha sat next to an empty seat between her and hyperactive Peter, Bucky perked up at the sight of you walking in before mumbling something under his breath as he noticed Steve's jumper loosely wrapped around your tired frame.
"Couldn't find your own clothes in time doll?" He sassed while looking you up and down, you simply gave him the finger, not having the physical or emotional energy to deal with him.
Making your way to the black leather seat Nat mumbled a 'Good morning' to you while passing a to-go cup of (y/f/d), putting a smile on your sad face. While getting comfy your chair you happily sipped the liquid as Tony and Steve finally entered the room.
"Morning children." He heckled while slamming some files and a 'Captain America sucks' mug on the table causing Steve to roll his eyes and sit in the chair next to him.
"Kid, you got any homework?" Tony questioned peter while sipping on his coffee,
"Uh-um no Mr stark why ?" The boy stuttered as his eyes flickered up at his idol.
"Because ladies and gents we are going travelling !" Tony shouted while spinning in his chair.
"Were you dragging us to now Stark." Sam groaned at him.
"England." Tony stopped spinning in his chair, his face slightly fell when he looked at your shocked face, your drink suddenly escaped your mouth and splattered all over the table.
"What!" You yelled at a very apologetic looking Tony.
"Sweet, where in England we going !" Clint questioned while Sam and Bucky put their hands on his shoulder to stop him bouncing due to the coffee.
"bloody hell! Oh god please tell me it's somewhere like Manchester? Sheffield? Oh, I know Cheshire is lovely this time of year." Your eyes pleaded into his hoping he wouldn't say what you thought he would.
"London..." As soon as those to words left his mouth your face looked like a kid on Christmas who got no gifts.
" Fuck me " you mumbled while crashing back into your chair, head in hands on the table.
" When ?" Bucky cheeked
" Oh come on tea and crumpets! I'm sure there's "part of London you've not seen? Time to live." Bucky commented only to greeted by your head slowly raising out of your hands, eyes glaring straight into his.
"Well considering the fact I lived there for 21 years I've seen plenty enough Barnes." You spat back at him with shock still on his face. To say that everyone but Tony knew basically nothing about your past was an understatement, when Tony brought you into the tower he just said: "She's a Badass, British, Bombshell" and that was it.
"Now, why are we going Tony." You asked the man, voice not as witchy as before.
Tony began explaining why the hell you were going to London and you tried to focus but all the time your mind was freaking the hell out so you only picked up certain pieces of his rambling. In the end, all you knew was that the London branch of Stark industries received a message for help from someone important, Tony said he couldn't remember who, and it required the 'special skills' of the Avengers, so that meant in a couple of days you'll be killing some people.
After the meeting everyone went back to there daily routine, Nat and Clint went out to get lunch for the team, Sam and Steve ran like crazy men, Vision and Wanda did weird Vision and Wanda stuff and Bruce and Tony did whatever the hell they do in that lab, while you simply wanted to go down to the gym and beat the shit out of interns and boxing bags.
You hands slammed into the nearly broken body bag that loosely hanged on its chain. Rage filled the air as sounds grunts and bangs echoed across the empty gym. England was your country, London was where you were raised most of your life but America,  most specifically the Avengers base, was your home. Of course, the idea of being back there scared you, knowing that people over there know you not just for your work with the team but your previous life but the idea of maybe seeing your father again and being back in home turf made you somewhat happy
"You know you shouldn't take your anger put on innocent boxing bags" the rough voice of the infamous Bucky Barnes silenced the slams of your fist.
"You shouldn't be telling me how to control my anger" trying to brush off his comment you began regaining your stance as he walked closer towards you.
"Hey, I'm just trying to be nice here. You seemed really upset early today " His voice was less sassy now, his frame filled your peripheral vision as he stood next to you.
" Barnes I appreciate you trying to be a better person but don't try it with me because I know you honestly don't give a fuck about me" anger filled your veins once again as the memories of your first time meeting him race oast in your mind.
"You think I'd on care about one of my teammates?" A mix of shock and anger in his voice caught you off guard as he now turned to try and look at you straight in the eye.
"Yeah of course you do but that's all we are, teammates, you made that clear when I first got on the team and even though I might not have had the horrible experience of  being hydras weapon for half of my life I've been and seen enough shit to know I shouldn't chase after people who hurt me." you spat back as you began punching again, the sound of his body mving made your hert rest hping he was eaving, but the feeling of a presnce right behind you and firm hands gripping you shoulders made you freeze in shock
" Your knees should always be bent. This gives you more power, more balance, and more mobility." Buckys rough voice spoke in your ears, your breath slightly hitched as he pushed you down making your knees bend more.
"Your hips should always be relaxed and heavy which gives you even more balance and more power. Fighters that tighten up their upper body will usually carry their hips which makes them fall off balance easily and also burns energy faster." His head slightly tilted down to your collarbone causing his warm breath to brush over it as his hands slowly slipped down to your hips guiding his hands along them making them looser, you would have normally kicked a guy in the balls by now but this, this was interesting.
"Well, this is new." Finally, you spoke, but the sarcastic comment came out like more of a breathless whisper.
" You see (Y/L/N) I hate a lot of people but don't hate you. I'll let you figure the rest of us out" and suddenly he was gone, his firm chest that pressed into your back was walking out of the gym.
"Bloody sexy American twat." you sighed as he left while you slid back down the bag on to the floor, heart still racing after that interaction, everyone on the team always told you Bucky was only a dick to you because the man was horrible with people and emotions, but you never believed it was that simple, and you thought that even more now.

ROUND 4: SPAIN (Jerez)
It was finally time for the MotoGP circus to comeback to Europe and back to Spain at Jerez de la Frontera. It feels like a whole new start of the season each year once the paddock is back in Europe. Jerez is the first stop of 4 grand prix which usually end up being absolutely crucial for the whole championship. On this point, the spanish GP delivered as the first real game changer in the title fight happened just a few laps before the checkered flag.
1. The Marquez Machine is ON
There’s no denying that reigning World Champion Marc Marquez is a brilliant rider but lately he just proves to be more and more astonishing than last years.
Jerez was an important venue for the spaniard as it was not always easy for him there in the past, and neither was it for the Hondas judging by Lorenzo’s incredible records on the spanish tarmac.
Beaten during FP’s and by Crutchlow for the pole position, Marquez’ race on sunday was a masterclass and exceptionally well calculated win giving him the championship lead and the first opportunity to create a gap on his title rivals.
Even though Le Mans should be open for a win from any of the Yamahas, the Honda being so dominant at Jerez (Crutchlow’s pole, Marquez and Pedrosa’s race pace) is well enough of a reason for people at Honda to be happy as it means the bike should beautifully work at most tracks for the rest of the season. That’s a prospect that should be a reason of worries for every other team boss in the paddock.
2. Iannone’s revival and Zarco’s title fight
Another race weekend and another podium for Andrea Iannone who seems to be resurected from his own ashes. Having his seat being linked to other riders might have helped a little but it also proves the Suzuki bike is definately on the good path to become a winning machine. The question that remains at Suzuki though is: in which rider’s hands ? Even with Iannone’s last two podium finishes, talks about Lorenzo taking on the Suzuki challenge keeps on going especially now that Monster and/or Movistar seems interested in sponsoring the team, was it to be with Lorenzo instead of Iannone.
It was a huge weekend for Johann Zarco has the announcement of his future move to KTM was finally made official. There, the frenchman will team up with Pol Espargaro aboard a factory team that, he hopes, will turn all around him. It’s a huge challenge that’s waiting for Zarco as KTM’s results proves that a whole lot of work has to be done before the bike would challenge for podium finishes and even more for a win against Honda, Ducati, Yamaha and possibly Suzuki. If he was to succeed though, Johann Zarco would, for sure, write his name in history.
3. Yamaha: still far from where it should be
If things are looking well for the non-Yamaha factory rider Johann Zarco, it’s a complete different story for Vinales and Rossi. Last time out, Vinales looked amazing on the bike and was clearly having fun on it which was not the case at all at Jerez. And neither was it for Valentino Rossi. In fact the italian’s frustration was so clear that he found himself being very vocal against Yamaha during the post-race media debrief. Rossi talking about a lack of support and reactivity from the japanese brand sounds a lot like what he did back in his Ducati days. Was it really frustration or something else ? Perhaps what the italian hope is that the M1 problems won’t go un-noticed after Le Mans, a track that suits them and where they have very good chances of winning.
4. Blame on You, Blame on Me, Blame on Him
What can we say about the Pedrosa/Lorenzo/Dovizioso incident ? Well just that: it was a racing incident.
 You could blame Dovizioso for making the first move that led to the crash but, even though it seemed a little bit forced as Lorenzo was not letting any open door for his teammate to pass, isn’t the whole point of racing just to try and pass the rider in front of you ?
You could blame Lorenzo for repassing Dovizioso and colliding into Pedrosa but again, there’s no racing if you never try to save your position against the other guys on track. His defensive move though led him to be in the middle of a 3 riders line up. There was simply no way the spaniard was getting out of this corner without crashing into either Pedrosa ou Dovizioso as they were all aiming for the very same racing line and corner exit from various positions on the track.
You could blame Pedrosa for passing both Ducati at once instead of being more careful but again what else was he supposed to do ? Wait for both Lorenzo and Dovizioso to get their sh$t together and pass them one at a time ? Rubbish…
The truth, at least to me, is that the crash was a very rare but yet perfect example of a multiple riders racing incident. None is really at fault, none is really all clean.
5. Honorable mentions
Cal Crutchlow’s might always complain about not being on a factory honda yet he still know how to make his LCR bike work as proven by his pole position at Jerez.
Dani Pedrosa might have not being able to finish the race, yet it still was very impressive to see him fight for a podium just 4 weeks after his hand injury.
There was still some positive for Andrea Dovizioso as he was able to fight for the 2nd place when, on friday, he was struggling to even get into the top 10. His post race interviews though, acusing Lorenzo of “blocking him” and not letting him pass... Nope, Dovi, just NO. Racing was never about “letting another rider get past you so that he doesn’t need to make a move on you”.
As Jorge Lorenzo’s future is still totally uncertain, it was a delight to see him on such a great form again. From race winner’s own words, it was like “old Lorenzo”. Could this race help Jorge’s will to stay at Ducati ?

Alex Marquez- Team member
No one prepares you for just how overwhelming it is when you go into your first job after graduating from university and believe me it is very overwhelming especially when you go right into one of the jobs you dreamed about having since you were little. That is exactly what I have done, I worked tirelessly for years to get my engineering degree focusing heavily on motorbikes and have managed to get myself a job in the MotoGP paddock as an engineer for LCR Honda which is a dream come true. I've always loved motorbikes and MotoGP so being able to work there is just so cool and feels like all the effort I put in to do well was worth it.
I arrived at the track yesterday and since then I don't think I've stopped for more than 5 minutes at once as I have had meetings to go to about plans and other things I don't understand because its not my department. There has also been a lot of induction type things to do like working with the other engineers so that they can explain exact things that I need to know about the bike that are different to the others I've worked on before. It's crazy to think that it's only Thursday and no one has been out on track yet and I'm already so busy while also kind of not having done a whole lot I mean I haven't even met who I'm working for yet which should happen today.
My alarm went off at 5:30 am which was not fun at all and I wished I hadn't set it then although I will be thanking myself later when I get a head start on my work and aren't in a rush by 6:30. All of my team clothes were hanging up in my small closet in the hotel everyone was staying at staring at me putting a smile on my face. I got ready and took a picture to send to my parents back home because I know they would have loved to be here for my first proper day and see me in my uniform. We were meant to have a team breakfast all together but that didn't go to plan and not that many people went because everyone was busy with something but I got to meet a few more people all of them being older than me and men, that is the one thing I don't like about this job is that I feel like I don't fit in as everyone else is an older man.
Everyone left to make their way to the track which is when I realised that getting there for me was going to be an issue because I don't have a car nor can I speak good enough Spanish to communicate with a taxi driver plus they wouldn't be allowed into the circuit anyway. I attempted to text some of the people I have met to see if they could help me but all of them had left which wasn't helpful but eventually my team boss told me he had asked someone to meet me in the lobby which I thanked him for. I waited in the lobby looking out for someone until a guy came through and started walking towards me, for a moment I couldn't see his face but as soon as I did I recognised him right away. It was Alex Marquez like the actual Alex Marquez the guy I have been watching race and been a fan of for years and thats when it hit me that I would be working for him which was just so weird to think about. He took me right out of my thoughts by talking to me.
"Are you y/n?" He asked
"Yes I am" I replied
"I'm Alex although I imagine you probably know that already but you're the new engineer right" he checked
"Yeah thats me sorry about all this I don't have my car with me and everyone else left" I apologised
"No need to worry I've been meaning to introduce myself anyway" he said
We got in his car and right away he started asking questions about me to get to know me better and was even very complimentary about how well I must be doing to get the job I have at such a young age which felt so nice to hear it kind of made me feel like I belonged a bit more. He was so nice to me which I knew he would be but the thing with famous people is you never know if they will act like they do on camera in real life but he definitely does he may even be nicer in person than he's comes across online.
Once we got to the circuit he dropped me off by the garage so that I could start working but not before giving me a hug to say goodbye and I got to thank him for the ride for the millionth time. I can't lie there was a slight blush on my face when I entered the garage and I knew this because there was a mirror on the wall and I saw myself in it quickly before I walked away not wanting to acknowledge the fact that I was crushing slightly on the guy I pretty much work for. It is such a me thing to do to develop a crush on someone after knowing them for a day but this time it's a bit worse because technically I do work for Alex and although he isn't my boss it feels wrong to like him in that way.
Fp1 went by pretty quickly and things were looking good although Alex wanted to change a few things on the bike so I worked on that along with a few others but most of it was left to me because they were seeing exactly what I can do even though the changes are pretty basic. As much as this testing was annoying and kind of patronising it meant I got to work on the bike which is what I'm here to do. Working also helped me to forgot about the fact that Alex was walking around the garage with his leathers unzipped although it was alway in the back of my mind as I was working.
When the bike was ready to go it was the lunch break so I got to relax for a bit before its back to work for fp2. I'm still not very close with anyone in the team so I kind of ate lunch by myself with headphones in mainly just to get a break from the chaos because I'm not used to it yet so it is a little overwhelming. I was just looking at my phone and texting some friends back home when I saw movement right in front of me which made me look up just out of curiosity and standing there was Alex with a smile on his face.
"Is it alright if I sit with you?" He asked
"Yeah of course" I replied
He sat down in front of me so I took out my headphones and put my phone away so that we could talk. I was also smiling so much at the fact that he chose to spend his break with me out of everything he could be doing it really made me feel good about myself. The two of us talked the whole time getting to know each other more and Alex helped me to feel like I do fit in here and even thanked me for all the work I did on the bike.
After lunch we walked out together and only parted always when we got to the garage as I had to prep the bike and he had to put his leathers on but I went back to work with a new found motivation and all the stress I was feeling was pretty much gone instead I felt good about myself. I worked on a few things before the practice started but this time it was more of a team effort which is all I've wanted the rest of the time, having everything be a test and having a million eyes on you makes things so much harder.
Practice was going really well until the bike slid out from under Alex in a corner and he went sliding into the gravel. When I first saw the crash my heart rate started going so quickly but when he got up afterwards it calmed down and my brain got in gear to make sure the second bike was ready to go. It was a little chaotic doing that as everyone is trying to set things up in such a short amount of time but I got freed when the other bike arrived back as I started working to fix everything that was broken which luckily was mostly just the fairing and not too much internal stuff. Alex came back and hopped on his second bike almost right away but he did check in with his crew chief and sent me a smile.
~~~~~~~~~~
Over the past few days I have spent a lot of time with Alex in breaks and after everything is over each day he invites me to hangout with him in his motorhome. It has been so much fun getting to spend time with him and even though my friends are telling me he's just doing it to be nice I don't believe them he just seems so genuine. We have become super close over the last few days and no one is treating me like the newbie anymore because of my friendship with Alex which is great because being treated like a child is just annoying.
Now it's race day so there is a whole new set of things to be thinking about and working on before its go time. We are in a meeting to talk though plans and look at a bunch of data which has always been my least favourite part of engineering but luckily thats not really my job here. The talk started with settings and things before we moved onto tyres which is when we had a lot of data to look at and that is the one set of data I had studied myself because I always heard about it when watching MotoGP and was curious. From what the other engineers were suggesting it seemed that Alex would end up dropping back at the end of the race because of wear but from what I had read if we went for the medium front and rear things would be a bit better just pushing on the first lap might be a little harder but from what I could gather things would work out.
"I suggest we go both mediums because it will wear less than the soft the only thing is pushing on the first couple laps may be a little harder but looking at lap times I think it should be all ok and we can make up any lost positions quickly" I said
"Yeah you have a point do you have that data?" Someone asked
I handed them the notes I had which were then passed around the room for everyone to study just incase I somehow got something wrong even though I know all of it is just from the timing sheets and my own words to explain it to myself later.
"I think I want to go with the mediums I'm prepared to fight after the first few laps and I think most others will do the same so the loss hopefully won't be too bad" Alex said
We finished the meetings and I felt so accomplished because it was my suggestion that was picked and I know no one believed what I said until they read it. Eventually these people will learn not to underestimate me and my ability but I know it will be a slow process although I think we are off to a good start.
Race time came around so very quickly that it felt like we had been working on the bike for 5 minutes even though it was more like a few hours. I was asked to go out onto the grid with the start up device which has always been one of my dreams because the atmosphere of the grid just seems like something you can't experience anywhere else other than right there. It was even better than I could have imagined there might be a lot of people around but I was just focused on my job and then on Alex when I got to talk to him before the warm up lap and go over a few quick things but also wish him luck.
Back in the garage there wasn't much for me to be doing other than watching the screen to see what was going on and my point was quickly proven when after a few laps Alex started making up places pretty quickly. Things were going so well until he went sliding out of his position and towards the gravel, he tried to save it but it wasn't going to happen. This time I wasn't as scared for Alex but more myself because if it's the tyres that caused him to crash I'm so dead and all the progress I've made to be trusted this weekend is just ruined. Everyone was gutted but I was nervous waiting for Alex to come back to the garage and talk to the team. He arrived and everyone checked he was ok before listening to what he and to say about what happened.
"Was it the tyres?" Someone asked clearly trying to make it my fault he crashed
"No not the tyres they were good they had a lot of grip I just went too wide I think and just lost it sorry guys" he said
I was beyond relieved that it wasn't my fault but I was also sad that the race ended the way it did  it's never what anyone wants but sometimes it happens. Poor Alex seemed so upset and angry with himself and it definitely didn't help that Marc was in second because as much as he was happy for him but he hates letting his brother down by crashing even though Marc is proud of him no matter what. I wanted to check in with him but I had to do my job and work on the bike but again not much was broken there was just a lot of gravel everywhere. While I was working someone tapped me on the back so I turned round to see Lucio Checchinello the team boss standing there, I've never talk with him before so it freaked me out a bit to see him there.
"Y/n would you go and talk with Alex about the race he hasn't given much information and you two seem close?" He asked
"Of course I will" I replied
It was a little weird to me that he asked me to go especially when Alex's crew chief is probably much closer to him and knows how to go about this but I guess I'll figure it out. I knocked on the door to his trailer and after hearing him say come in from through it I opened the door and went to sat next to him on the sofa. He still looked very disappointed and I could tell that there was something going through his mind that he wasn't telling anyone.
"I can tell something is bothering you if you want to tell me I'm here to listen" I said
"It was going so well and I felt confident and I made a stupid mistake trying to overtake where I knew I wasn't close enough and that's why I crashed" he explained
"That's ok everyone makes mistakes sometimes I'm sure everyone has done that before don't blame yourself it's just one of those things" I reassured
"I know and I'm sorry y/n I wanted to do well for you to show that you are a good engineer but I messed up" he said
"No don't be sorry you don't need to worry about me I can prove myself eventually the last thing I want is you feeling bad about crashing because of me" I said  
"I can't help it I really like you probably in a way that I shouldn't and I want you to stick around and not leave because you don't feel welcome" he admitted
"I like you too" I managed to say despite the shock of his admission
"Oh thank goodness I regretted saying that for a minute there" he joked
"Would you like to go out to dinner with me tonight as a date if you're ok with that?" He asked
"I would love that" I replied

Grand Prix of Qatar Review
After missing this race last year, MotoGP returned and gave us another great race, with signs of who to look out for in 2021.
Just like last year, Yamaha are huge threats this year, and they have shown it right out of the blocks, with Vinales in the end controlling the race to take the win. If he can stay this aggressive in traffic all year, then he could be very tough to beat on a bike which is working very well. Quartararo may be slightly disappointed with P5, given where his teammate finished, he was the best Yamaha for most of the race, but when it mattered, he could not match Maverick. The SRT boys did not have the same success, with Morbidelli clearly having some issues early on which could not be fixed, and Rossi lacking the race pace he needed, as well as being forced off line a few times. The key for them this year, will be to keep momentum up through the year, and not let Suzuki have it their own way again.
Ducati would have wanted the win today, they have won here the past two times, and it would have been a signal of intent for the year. However, as expected, their late race pace cost them, they were lucky to get two bikes on the podium, as they out dragged the Suzuki to the line. From being 1st to 4th for the first few laps, having only two in the top eight is not great. I am sure they will have their time, tracks like Austria will suit them very well. Zarco has been fast ever since he joined Ducati, and today further proved that, whereas for Miller, tyre issues hurt him today apparently, which was not the way he planned to start his campaign. In my opinion, the bike does not have what it takes to quite fight for the title still.
Not getting on the podium must be annoying for Mir and Suzuki, yet the pace is there, they were the two fastest bikes late on in the race, on a track which may not suit them the best. For most of the race, Rins looked to be the faster rider, as Mir took longer to get through the traffic, however maybe he used his tyres more, as Mir outrode him late on. I think they could be a bigger threat next weekend, if they can improve on their qualifying and be in the fight, they could be a match for Maverick. Over the season, despite Yamaha’s good start, I can’t see past Mir’s methodical, calm demeanour, getting him to another title.
Today was the final proof, that Aprilia have made a truly great step forward into this season. Aleix’s pace was not mind-blowing, it was just consistent, he was able to hold it with the Suzuki’s for the first half of the race, until they went on their late charge. That being said, as I mentioned before, this is a good track for him, so top tens may not be consistent across the year, but points should be, which would be great for them. This has done nothing for Salvadori’s stock value, with him finishing last, way behind Espargaro, have they built the bike around one rider? Or do they need to get Dovizioso in as soon as they can?
There were not very high expectations for Honda, so P8 for Pol and P11 for Bradl is pretty good going, they seemed to have late race pace, overtaking struggling Ducati’s. Considering this is a new bike for Pol, we could see further improvements from him, especially when you think that Marc was not able to win here either. LCR were not so successful, they were both in around the same positions as the factory boys to begin with, but both crashed out, which suggests they were pushing hard to stay up there. Who knows what this year could bring for the team, mostly depending on Marc’s return? Although even if he doesn’t come back, this year is looking better than last year on the whole, which is at least something.
KTM’s start to the year has been horrible, whatever improvements they have tried to make for the new season, aren’t working here at least. Coming back here again next weekend may offer them a chance to learn from it, however it could also rub salt in the wound!
Much like last year, 2021 is being set up to be a thriller, with at least three teams in with a shout of the title, maybe even more. The question now is who can make improvements for when we return next weekend, to do it all again?

Marquez: LCR MotoGP switch won't be like "starting from zero"
Tumblr media
Alex Marquez says his switch to the LCR Honda squad for the 2021 MotoGP season won’t be like “starting from zero” as he already knows the team well.
The 2019 Moto2 world champion tested for LCR in Valencia last year ahead of his factory team debut in 2020, and will work with ex-Cal Crutchlow crew chief Christophe Bourguignon in 2021.
Honda made its decision to move Marquez to LCR as a factory-contracted rider before he’d made his MotoGP debut at the Repsol-backed outfit, but Marquez has never felt like the move was hasty.
After a difficult start to 2020, Marquez came on strong in the second half of the year and scored Honda’s only podiums with a brace of seconds at the French and Aragon Grands Prix.
When asked if he felt like moving to LCR would be a reset after the progress he made at the factory Honda team, Marquez said: “No, I don’t think I will start from zero. I will have the technician, ‘Beefy’, who has a lot of experience, and everybody in Honda is speaking so good about him.
“Also, from [the] data [side] coming is David Garcia, my technician in Moto2.
“So, already I know him really well and he can also help ‘Beefy’, and they can make a good tandem to know me a bit earlier and for ‘Beefy’ I think it will be so positive to have on my side because he knows me really good.
“I know all the people. I meet them in Portimao, but already from the past I know everybody.
“Everything looks like it can switch really nice, and I’m looking forward to being in a team where maybe everything is a little bit more calm and the pressure also is more calm.
“So, I think it can help me to take the experience and keep working like we did in the second part of the season.”
Tumblr media
PLUS: The top 10 MotoGP riders of 2020
COVID-19 permitting, the 2021 season is set to consist of 20 races, with Marquez having only ridden at seven of those venues currently slated to host events on a MotoGP bike.
But, when asked by Autosport if he had to treat 2021 as a second part to his rookie season, Marquez feels the experience he gained this year will be enough to be able to adjust to unfamiliar tracks quickly.
“This is a little bit strange, because in some tracks that I wasn’t there [before] I was really fast from the beginning, the first run of FP1,” he said.
“So, it depends on the track, how you switch on at that track and how you manage that situation.
“But no, it won’t be like a rookie season. Already I have experience and already I know the bike and I know a little bit the secrets how to manage a MotoGP weekend, because it’s so difficult to manage the tyres, how to manage both bikes, you can play with the set-up on both bikes.
“So, will be interesting to hopefully go to all the tracks to take the experience, but I have experience.
“I clicked in the second part of the season, so the important thing will be to keep that click and always be in the top eight.”
