watching all in right now and uhhhhehgsgjhh

do you guys ever wonder if valentino considered texting marc after his injury? do you think he hovered his fingers over the keyboard of his phone. shaky but not nervous. just uncertain. just peeling his brain apart for somewhere to start, anywhere to end. it couldn't be elaborate, whiny, dramatic, but how could he ever condense their story into one simple message? and the more he would think about it the angrier he would get. until eventually his fingers would twitch for the home button and he would be gone again, mind changed.

do you think he even still has his number saved? under some vicious, cruel name that he conjured on sneered lips with his friends one night? but it's still saved? it's still there and it may be blocked and muted and defaced but it is still. there?

haunting his contacts? because he can tuck him away into the furthest corners of his mind, he can spit at the idea of him, curse him over and over but he cannot get rid of him. in the same way that marc can pack his memorabilia of rossi up into a box but cannot throw it away.

I think for me it's very difficult because, eh, from outside you don't know very well what's happening, but looks like at the moment - so after the crash, looks like the injury was very bad and he needs a bit more time, but he's already here. So, is good if he can race.

Post-withdrawal announcement:

Already is impressive to see Marquez like this, after an operation, because usually normal people is lying in the bed and sleeping, like this, so without move! But you know, ride a MotoGP... especially with this condition is an extreme thing. You have to be good, so maybe is too much.

This type of injury, when you already make the operation and after you broken the plate, is a disaster, is very bad. So you need a lot a lot of time for recover, because you have to recover at 100% before you start to make any effort. So he need more time.

I can't believe I remember an era of Motogp where the only Academy associated people in Motogp were Vale and Franky (his most promising child, runner up in the championship). When all 10 of us on here would talk about how "Oh the academy kids will make it big one day, we'll have them all in Motogp together soon."

A study by More Than Equal (which for some reason requires a company name to download, despite its importance to people who aren’t in a company) has found that commercial prejudice is the biggest cause of women not getting through the lower tiers of motorsport. It has also found that lack of awareness (with nearly half of motorsport fans surveyed not being sure if women were even allowed to compete in F1, let alone businesses) due to a lack of visible and consistently demonstrable trajectory into professional racing series were a big factor. Thus, some companies that weren’t being prejudicial were nonetheless not backing women because they could not see any chance of a return of investment. It’s worse in motorbikes: 81% of fans aren’t sure if women are allowed to race in World SBK, despite it having the best record for women of all the professional series questioned (in that Ana Carrassco has already won a championship in that series). For MotoGP only 22% of fans thought women were allowed to compete.

Every series has a lot of work to do

Also note: given that 80% of fans think there will be a woman in F1 in the next 10 years, about 30% of fans think that the FIA is going to change the regulations to allow a woman into the series to make that happen. This represents a pretty spectacular fail on the part of the FIA, given that women have raced in F1 in the 1950s and 1970s, and attempted to qualify all the way into the early 1990s. Note the latter date is just before the really big sponsor money started to become compulsory for teams to compete in F1 - 1992 had some teams racing solidly in the midfield on a $15 m budget, but by 1998 that wouldn’t be enough money to keep a F1 team running for a whole year. Other reasons women struggle to become professional racing drivers: - women get less track time (thus less practise) then men - lack of role models (hampered by women being particularly sceptical about existing and previous social schemes like #WeRaceAsOne. Also note: over 80% of male fans and over 90% of female fans believe the racing is automatically worse in enforced single-gender series, which prevents people in F1 Academy and the former W Series from being seen as role models in that context) - lack of gender-specific training available (i.e. the specialised training expected of racing drivers is all based on male models) - rampant stereotypes against women (about 20-25% of men, and 5-20% of women, believed each of the stereotypes surveyed. Note that even one stereotype by the wrong person can be enough, and no data existed on what percentage believed at least one stereotype, as data only displays on a per-stereotype basis) - a culture that is unwelcoming to people not exactly like those already “accepted” - a culture that is sometimes discriminatory against women in terms of microaggressions - lack of research into whether mechanical biases exist in the cars in terms of suitability for anyone outside an unnecessarily narrow range of physiques - a perception that motorsport is extremely discriminatory by sporting standards (perhaps to a greater extent than is warranted even by the above statements) - unsurprisingly given the above, a smaller pool of talent to pick from at every stage

The consequence is that the gender imbalance becomes about 40% worse between FIA karting and lower-tier non-karting series, and another 40% worse between lower-tier and professional-tier series. This despite Hintsa, arguably the best organisation in the world at preparing motorsport competitiors physically, noting that women are as capable of hitting the physical and psychological benchmarks required as men. Be warned: there will be backlash if more women enter motorsports. Yes, over 40% more women will deepen their attachment to motorsport - but between 8 and 18% of men will reduce it (probably in a very noisy and nasty way, given the other findings). The report is not close to perfect - the way it’s presented shows its own biases and weak points in terms of communication equality - but it sheds a light on how far motorsport hasn’t come since 1997. 26 years ago, the first major research about women in motorsport identified four main obstacles to women competing: - Sponsors refusing to back women - Stereotyping - Peer pressure, primarily due to lack of understanding - Over-scrutiny of results Compare the two lists and see the similarities.

I know they are not a trend now, but I remember I used to have fun with this, so I did it

(x) pecco marc and martin are accurate but pedro would be a wannabe rapper and enea would be either a mechanic or a promoter who badly flirts w you to convince you to go to his club. in this last case he also has a second job which is beach lifeguard who sleeps all day in the chair and lets you die
