#yay pecco!

[verdemint]

sooooo this is the translation for the icon interview with Pecco and a bit of Enea + (my little notes) (for @vr46ridersacademyofficial and whoever wants to read about pecco being a neurotic bestie and a "true rock" nerd)

Genius and moderation: Francesco Bagnaia’s winning qualities. He’s the champion who says about himself that he’s shy (and that already sounds like an oxymoron); then you see him race, and you ask yourself if he hadn't been just joking…

To win a MotoGP world championship, the highest class of motorcycle racing, you need a lot of talent, to win two of them, and one after the other even, you need to be extraordinary.

The third centaur who was able to do something like that is Francesco Pecco Bagnia (don't pretend you don't know who I'm talking about!). The third after Valentino Rossi, his idol and mentor, and Marc Marquez, his next year teammate in Ducati. And, because the hunger comes while eating (lol that's prob just an Italian idiom and it means that when you start to eat you start to get more hungry too, so winning is making him more hungry for more victories), Pecco is trying to do the same this year with the new Desmosedici GP24.

“Motivation is not something I’ll ever be lacking” says Pecco wearing the new glasses carrera Ducati (lol)

When I asked him to draw an imaginary identikit about himself to start our interview he replied: “I’m shy, very determined and an hard worker”. You can feel all of his Savoy (i guess coz he’s from the Savoy region but idk its more of a stereotype for people in the north of italy, being serious and quiet) essence - a mix of being a very private person, and also respectful and polite - that’s his own signature “ethics/moral code" and style. “It’s difficult for me to clash or argue with someone. If I’m angry or annoyed or nervous I keep that inside of me.” That's true in the paddock and outside.

Who better than him is the opposite of the cliche “to be a pilot you must be crazy”?

“Being lucid is the most important thing in this type of sport. The instinct can make you go fast, and maybe there’s a bit of madness, but during the race, everything you do has to be calculated, and every decision is considered and thoroughly thought through. Nothing is left to chance. And seeing red on track/not being lucid is what makes you do mistakes.”

Most people would think you have to live a life full of sacrifices to become a champion, but Francesco lives that life differently. “Everything I’ve ever done, I’ve done it cause I wanted to, I’ve never missed out on anything, not really. I’ve chosen to go train on track instead of going out with my friends most of the time, but it’s because I truly believe you’ll always have time to do all the other things you want to do.”

Respected by everyone in the paddock, Pecco is also praised by Enea Bastianini, his colleague and teammate, also born in 1997 but nearly 12 months after Francesco. 

“He has the type of determination and awareness that when he decides to do something he’ll go and get it. On a more technical side, his braking is super effective with the types of tyres we’re using.”

Their relationship is really good and Pecco says “Enea is one of my many rivals. The only ally I have on track is myself: I motivate and help myself”- he displays a strong sense of duty and responsibility- “cause I’m also the most self-critical person in the world.”

And maybe it is this moderation (I guess she’s talking about the self-criticism bit) that becomes a strength for the natural-born rider Pecco.

Francesco Bagnaia is cast in the same mold as another Italian sports prodigy ( shes trying to say the have similar vibes lol) Jannik Sinner, and not coincidentally Pecco is also a big fan of Jannik (he also carries Juventus in his heart, and he received a personalized jersey in December from the club).

“(Sinner) appears as a very “clean” person, it makes you want to support him. I’ve always loved tennis and thanks to him I’ve become an even bigger fan. I play tennis especially during the winter, I take classes three times a week”

Francesco always brings the same things to all of his races and most between the all: “Socks just under the calf, however it has nothing to do with superstition” and also music.

“I listen to music as soon as I wake up. I love old rock, the true rock. Favourite rock group? Led Zeppelin, of course, and I also really like Greta van Fleet.”

Around the circuits, his sister Carola, assistant and media manager, follows him like a shadow.

“I would like Domizia with me at races more often, her presence is a necessity for me.” Pecco and Domiziaa are gonna be married in a handful of hours (July 20) after seven years of engagement: “Organizing the wedding was easy: there is no comparison with the World Championship. Maybe Domizia thinks differently about it.”

What does Francesco Bagnaia see in his future? “A successful career and a large family. And still riding a prototype bike: if not until I’m 37, the goal is at least 35.”

Pecco really is Vale's daughter that decided to break the generational cycle

[fall0utmind]

hello! here to yap about your fic which sounds excellent™ 10/10 concept

who reaches out first? does valentino realise How Bad it truly was and feel bad for not getting in touch sooner? or something else? 👀

Hi,

Yay, im so glad you think so!!

Okay so in my head (I haven't gotten to this bit yet) Vale 100% thinks this is all a set up, marc trying to get media sympathy etc (absolutely delusion stuff, you know how it is). Anyways, it's like pecco, who's with marc at the press conference when it all goes to shit. So, pecco is like, um, I dont think this is fake. Marc is in PIECES trying to get through the race weekend (in ITALY, no less).

Throughout the weekend, more and more stuff comes out (Marc's mental state after 2015, the extent of his arm injury, including his very dodgy relationship with the pain meds, etc) and Vale's theory is falling apart before his eyes. Eventually he realises he's a fucking idiot and tried to talk to Marc. Cue miscommunication, Marc thinks vale is going to rub it in, call him pathetic etc and just runs away... vale is like wait what, stewing in guilt that he made Marc feel like this.

So eventually he manages to get through to Marc, corners him because the guilt is eating him alive and he wants so bad to remain aloof, but he's just found out the love of his life almost died, like multiple times, and it could have been Vales fault? So yeah Vale corners Marc and although Marc is super distrusting at the start, vale is grovelling, doing everything he cam to make things better. Taking nicely ro rhe media, texting Marc, telling the academy to be nice to him, speaking up about his own mental health.

Very slowly (he was really hurt before, he has thick defenses now), Marc comes around and realises vale isn't trying to hurt him 🧡

And they live happily ever after ✨️✨️

Happy and excited kidfic anon here with an idea yay

Maybe they meet again and Cele is looking for excuses to get away and Bez goes dead serious like "no, shut the fuck up, it's not embarassing, but we need to talk about our nipple piercings and the fact that I like yours" or something

Now, hold your horses for a bit, Bez is absolutely not making the first move in any of this. He is very aware of his feelings for Cele, and soon enough he's aware that Cele probably likes him too, but he is not taking any step towards a relationship first. He simply is very aware of what having Teo means, and Cele is younger than him and he doesn't want to (what he believes) "lead him on" because he has responsibilities Cele doesn't need as a 20 yo, and he also knows he feels very deep for Cele (specially after seeing him with Teo) and he is scared of opening up too soon and Cele moving on and leaving him and Teo behind.

He still would be a menace because he is Bezz after all and he loves Cele's attention, so he would run shirtless and make sure they meet Cele on the stairs when Marco comes back from school and if some days he ends with leftovers and he casually drops them off for Cele, then that's a happy little coincidence.

And ofc we'd have Luca and Pecco, even Vale, asking Marco about his cute boyfriend and trying to make him realize that he can go for it, that he deserves having someone that adores Teo as much as he does.

And after Cele takes the first step there would absolutely be a lot of talk about nipple piercings *wink*

Found so much more crisp packet Pecco yay!

[verdemint]

Anyway, pecco and casey actually have more things in common than people want to believe! Their reaction and feelings towards the media are both pretty similar, they hate to be misunderstood and they’re scared of the power of the media, still they react sometimes in opposite way to their instinctual hate for the media. Also the media/fans response to them is both very similar and the opposite at the same time! Pecco being considered a bike merchant and casey a lil prodigy fighting against the horrible bikes, but at the same time people find them both cocky and weak-minded idk this is mostly a rant about how im always shocked at how much hate all the ducati posts comparing pecco and casey get, and I guess the comparison is not the best BUT their relationship with medias and fans is actually pretty similar.

Anyway i find them both fascinating yay
