February 2014 (text from Mat Oxley's The Valentino Rossi Files: Everything I've ever written about VR: From 2008 to now):
During the winter the nine-time champ spent more time than usual thrashing round his dirt track ranch, keeping himself mentally and physically sharp and getting used to a motorcycle moving around beneath him. He knows that Marc Marquez’s ability to ride on the ragged edge with a more muscular, more sideways style is changing MotoGP, so he needs to change with it. Rossi may never look as spectacular as Marquez on a dirt bike or a MotoGP bike, but both his former and current crew chiefs believe he can do better than he did last year, when Marquez made him look rather second rate.
Rossi on inviting Marquez to the ranch:
"Yeah, for sure, a lot of time. But I think that Emilio [Alzamora, Marquez's manager] is not very happy that Marc come because he said that after we make a race and maybe it's dangerous." (x)
A Sideways Glance at Misano 2014, including pre-event karting on Wednesday night where Marquez reportedly struggled:
Misano 2014 (text from Mat Oxley's Valentino Rossi: All His Races):
^ Márquez won the first ten races of 2014 and this was the first time all year he was beaten in a straight duel. He couldn't handle Rossi's pace at Misano, so he ended up losing the front and falling.
Valentino was fast throughout practice and secured his first front-row start of 2014. [Rossi was asked after qualifying about the threat posed by Marquez and Lorenzo, identifying Lorenzo as the favourite before adding, "But you never know with Marc. He's a bastard."] In the race he rode better than in years, hanging his upper body inside the motorcycle more than ever before to increase turning. He snatched the lead from Lorenzo and then fended off Márquez, who struggled to find enough grip to match Vale. At one-third distance the world champion pushed it too far and slid off, so Vale cruised home 1.6 second ahead of Lorenzo. His crew had done a great job of creating maximum grip via adjustment to chassis balance and electronics set-up. His 107th GP victory showed he was once again as fast as anyone, because when he won at Assen 2013 he didn't have to beat Márquez, Lorenzo or Pedrosa, who were all injured. "It's fantastic to come back to victory again," he beamed after his first win with [new crew chief Silvano] Galbusera. "I knew we could fight and I pushed from the start. I always work hard and never give up and trust that days like this can happen."
^ The breakthrough win at Misano. For the first time since his return to Yamaha he had gone head-to-head with Jorge Lorenzo and Marc Márquez and beaten them both. From this moment another world title was a possibility.

Aragon 2014 press conference:
Rossi: Revenge at the ranch! No, first of all, we enjoy a lot, because have a lot of riders and also from superbike and a lot of bike on the track and was a good day, yeah. Marc was very fast, already fast like me at the first time, as always, and I think he did the best lap time but I won the race so is 1-1, so is... come si dice, pareggio pareggio [tied]. Marquez: Yeah, yeah, was really nice, you know, I was really [impressed] to see his circuit, his home, because in the future I would like to have, because was impressive and riding there was all the riders was really nice and... like Valentino says, we were there fighting together like in Misano race more or less, but yeah... the important thing is that we enjoy it and was really nice to ride there with him and also with the other riders.
Valentino Rossi, Marc Marquez and the Ranch
#idol tag#//#2014 ranch#one thing i do find interesting about the ranch visit is that vale's not really spoken about it again#my scientific analysis is that the presser vibes for the rest of 2014 were good but make a sharp-ish downturn Pretty Early in 2015#comp tag#brr brr

was vale watching the podium? cause if yes then that's no doubt why marc was making sex faces during the national anthem. not only did he win on the track closest to vale's home while he knew vale was watching but he also made facial expressions that vale hasn't seen in yearsss but sometimes still sees in his nightmares
he actually had a helicopter come and fly him the 17km back to the ranch like he disappeared in a valentino rossi shaped puff of smoke he was DONE
#girl if marc equals his titles it is so joever it has never been more joever... i would like 2 see it#motogp#callie speaks#asks#vale watching marc look like hes getting sucked off on the podium in MISANO and getting flashbacks to the two weeks in sept 2014#where it was like charity karting meet/misano 2014 (vale WON that race btw. shifting of the tide +only nonhonda at that point..)/ranch visi#and feeling that wonderful mixture of horned up and annoyed that marc inspires in italians... chest BURNING...

The Jenna Ortega thing always bugged me. Thank you for telling me writers were pissed about that. Like girl, you're freaking 20. Shut up. You really gonna be that arrogant right out the gate? Fuck off. Go write your own movie.
and she just......kept talking??? there was like a week in time where everything that kept coming out of her mouth was worse than the thing before. i remember my entire feed of fellow tv/film writers on twitter were all like "WHERE.IS.HER.PUBLICIST?!" studios probably still like her but writers are the ones who write characters and stories so...she picked the wrong group of people to antagonize so thoroughly
#ive heard she's not great to work with in general so we'll see how far that gets her in life 🤷��♀️#stop writing people's full names in ask jlksfhgljksdhfgjksdfg#HAVE WE FORGOTTEN ALL THE RULES OF ENGAGEMENT ON THIS RANCH ALREADY#we can shit talk all we want but tumblr is broken and the last thing i want is some of her lunatics in my inbox#its not 2014 lol#we dont live that life anymore#jortega#anonymous#answers
