Valentino and his thoughts on a corner named after him lol
I’m happy for Pedrosa, who has his own corner, I’m happy for Lorenzo, Marquez … but I wouldn’t like to have a corner named after me, “Valentino Rossi”. Because if you think about la Arrabbiata, the Dry Sack, the Lesmo 1, these are names for corners … if you arrive at the “Valentino Rossi” … I don't know, it sounds like entering a restaurant
fidanzatini fidanzatinando at la 100km dei campioni once again, no one is surprise
Girl behind the camera: "Can we have a comment on this outfit?" Bez: "Fit check? Very beautiful as always, stylish, all white, elegant, royal ... savoia!" Pasini: "Ciao! You're the most stylish couple" Bez: "If this race was about style/fashion we could be fighting for the podium" Pecco: "No, we're just like Bottura (italian chef) (i guess? thats what he said? si mangia le parole), we're off the charts" Bez: "Too much" Pecco: "No, off the charts" Bez: "Too much ... the problem is this is not a style race ... so we'll see!" Luca: [to Pecco and Bez]"Beautiful, beautiful" Pecco: "It's a good point to start, being beautiful" Bez: "Absolutely" Girl: "Wait let me do a full shot" Pasini: "Look at Pecco's boots, Pecco's white boots that are not gonna last. As soon as he steps on the ground they won't be white anymore" Pecco: "Wait.. wait...☝️... it was a deliberate choice coz after training they're gonna become the same colour as the rest of the pants" Bez: "Ah it's camo … you've opened up my mind!" Luca: "So he (Pecco) must have been carried here in someone's arms (coz the boots are still white) but now he's gonna have to step/put the boots on the ground!"
cute bez and pecco video from la 100km dei campioni weekend I forgot to post: Bez went to watch Pecco's race coz Pecco was such a flop at quali he had to do both Americana races lol
Translation Bez: I made a terrible choice coming here, I was so wrong … but now I’m here so it’s not like I can go back I: What are u doing? Are you watching Peccone’s Americana Race? Bez: I’m watching Pecco and the other guys … and I suffer from the cold
he then regrets it coz it was freezing cold ups
beznaia nation i got u! this is from friday I think? maybe saturday? anyway they ask Bez about his """"close"""" relationship with Pecco lol (once again, I think this is like the 9th time)
Translationnnnn
I: And then there’s your friend Pecco … do you ever give each other pieces of advice? B: Yes, of course it happens, we see each other every day. We’re very different from each other, you know? We’re very close but we’re very different from each other character-wise… he’s always calmer, more of an “analyser”, detached. I try to be rational, but a lot of times “mi ci butto di faccia” (=I jump feet first into things) I: Yes, of course B: So sometimes I give him advice about what I would have done in his situation, and he does the same with me…but we have such a good relationship that, when I tell him something, he knows he would never act the same way as me but at the same time he also knows what “message” I’m trying to make him understand. And the same thing for me. I: That's when you know you have a certain bond/understanding with each other
In honor of the 100km dei campioni this weekend, we have to bring back Pecco and Bez as teammates last year (spoiler they flopped)
Translation B: “Okay guys, we’re here in the changing rooms at the ranch, I'm here with my teammate Pecco. Let me introduce Pecco to you guys, here’s Pecco-” P: “Pecco Checco” B: “- unfortunately tomorrow he’s gonna abandon me, but today I really pushed him to do some good lap times…” P laughing: “What are u talking about?” (cazzo dici in italian is much more poetic) B laughing: “You did 3.8, right?” P: “I did 3.8 but not on that lap with you!” B: “Ah it wasn't that one?” P: “Anyway…” B: “See? He doesn't even want to give me any credit!” P: “Anyway … I’m happy coz in this team we’re both at the same level, we’re the fourth best team here but with the potential to end up second in the race” B: “And most importantly, we’re the prettiest!” P: “That’s obvious” B: “Also look how tanned my teammate is, guys look” P: “Should we flex a little bit?”
I really like this part of Vale's interview about parents and children in an insane, competitive and dangerous sport like motogp.
He also talks about how he could never understand his mother before seeing Luca on the grid; he knew she was of course scared, but he never truly understood that feeling until he found himself in the same situation as his mother before: watching his brother, Luca, racing.
Anyway I did a brief translation!
I: Can I ask you about your relationship with your brother Luca … you had your dad, Graziano, but who’s more stressed? You with your dad Graziano or Luca with you? V: So, allora, maybe my brother with me … coz with Graziano in the end it wasn’t that bad, even tho the relationship between a child and their parent when the child becomes an athlete, a high-level athlete, becomes difficult. I: Why? What are the things that make that relationship so difficult? What is it? Is it the father’s demand/pretense? V: First of all, this is a sport with bikes so a parent is of course scared; it’s not like football or basketball, parents here are scared. So every parent is a little bit in between, between wanting their child to become a strong rider, a world champion even… and at the same time they know that’s dangerous … so they’re there, in between. Then sometimes it’s about children trying to fulfil what their parents couldn't do … so maybe the fathers arrived till a certain point and then maybe they hope for their child to be the one, the one that's actually gonna make it. So it’s not an easy situation. But I see with our riders, with my brother … with my mother even … I saw how scared she was when I was leaving for races, but I had never truly understood her, I was looking from the other point of view. I was the child with their mother saying “go slow!”, a very normal situation- I: Even before a grand prix? Your mother was saying “go slow” even before a Grand Prix? V: It was always “Be careful! Win, but be careful!” I: “Win, but be careful!” V: Yes, “Go fast but be careful”... “Go fast but not too much” *laughing* But now that I see my brother on the grid, I understand my mother. It’s scary. And one can say not only bikes, there are many dangerous sports but still. I: Also the story of parents being coaches for their children, especially in tennis, for example … parents that are also their children’s coach V: Yes, it’s very difficult. With my dad, for example … a parent always wants to teach their children or give their opinion, but I didn’t find myself very at ease with that. He was always coming to the races to cheer for me and everything, but I’ve always tried to keep him away from my working team … my team and I working in the box together. Also, you know, in motogp during the race you’re on your own, but it’s still a team sport, like a football team
ahhhh I've read this Migno interview and it's so interesting! Go check it out!!!!
Anyway at some point they ask him to describe his academy friends with their best characteristic, his answers are pretty interesting to me, sooooo I did a brief translation of that part!
BULEGA “Pushatore”, because when we play Call of Duty he “pushes”. For the Call of Duty fans, he attacks without waiting. Playing Call of Duty with Bulega is always an adventure. Talking about bikes, I would say blacksmith: he brakes hard and he keeps “beating the iron” even in difficult moments. He had his bad moments, and then the opportunity to do better and he did it MORBIDELLI A smile that shines with energy. Franco works well when his life is positive and carefree. If we were at the sea in Cattolica or Miami, having just stepped out of the sea, with a mojito and then immediately joining a race, Franco would win every race. In motogp today is really difficult to bring that carefree attitude/relax, but when he's gonna do well, you can read it in his eyes, his smile and then he goes fast. MARINI Disciplined. He’s also a beast. I see him as someone who took his own choices, took his own roads, and he kept going with no fear and without needing anyone. Its maybe less “flashy” than others cause he has a different character, but he’s an incredible professional. When it comes to discipline and determination, he’s someone from whom I can only learn. BEZZECCHI “Champ” because we call each other champions: “Ciao Champ”. I need to specify this, cause otherwise annoying superstitious people are gonna come for us: we call each other that regardless of the results during races. The other word that comes to my mind is “hungry”. Bezzecchi is hungry. BAGNAIA Pecco is a gentleman. He’s a gentleman in his manners, in his lifestyle, in his modus operandi. And then he gets on his Panigale and does things that are absolutely insane. He’s a gentleman who goes fast. I like him cause he always knows what he wants and what he needs. VALENTINO ROSSI Valentino for me has been so many different things. He determined so many things in my life. I was present with him in a truly fundamental time: since I was 17 or 18 till today. I’ve learned so much from him, personally and professionally. He gave me the opportunity to ride a bike and follow my dream as a rider. I can only thank him. Around the world, even in the most remote places, you can find bikes with the number 46. They make inflatable toys of Valentino Rossi - not of others. That really makes you understand that he’s the greatest of all. And now like Maradona, Michael Jordan … last one: Andrea Migno A music lover. I can’t do anything if there’s no music. I love finding out new music, discovering it. I listen to anything. Nowadays im a little bit more into West Coast and US rap, before that I listened to Battisti, I’ve just discovered a really great song by Al Bano. I move through all genres.
So this video is my beznaia thesis! You can really see their dynamic and how they work with each other. This is just after India last year, Bezz won the race (his third of the year) and Pecco crashed out of the race. You have Bezz "trashtalking" Pecco a little bit to cheer him up, but it's not mean, Pecco is clearly in on the joke. And then the interviewer is trying to get Pecco to talk about his fall and pecco is kinda uncomfortable/pissed off and Bezz tries to direct the attention of the interviewer back at him, letting Pecco go. And then we have Bezz talking about his friendship with Pecco and how much Pecco is a real friend to him.
