thank you sm for the love you’re giving to my last edit !!! i just wanted to share some of the first pages i used for the second collage because i think they deserve their post alone (plus as a journalist wannabe i just love these kinds of things)
my favorites. the first one is just— straight up tragic. marca knew what they were doing. ‘the fall of an idol’, that picture framed with a broken glass. poetry.
second one they were just fujoshing it out. like the black and white pics and the subtitle reading ‘the story behind the biggest fall out in moto racing’ ?? royal family drama type of shit.
third one is just funny because they are literally implying valentino has lost his sanity, not only the championship. ‘has he lost it?’ yes, MCN. in every way capable.
some italian unused ones because ….yeah.
first one has the infamous interview (indeed it reads ‘exclusive’ at the bottom) where valentino says ‘marc betrayed me and i can’t forgive him’; lol. nice ‘v for vendetta’ reference. horrid photoshop.
second one reads ‘lucid folly’ and the subtitle goes ‘race direction mistakes and the fight (like literal; rissa means scuffle, something physical) with rossi’. love how they are calling marc insane and implying him and valentino threw some punches in the back room.
third is a little bit misleading in the sense it makes you believe they are admitting argentina 2018 was vale’s fault or at least trying to be impartial about it (lol they are not). it writes ‘SHAME’ like in regard to vale’s fanthom kick but then the sub goes ‘championship ruined. marquez plays dirty and angers valentino. rossi ‘kicks’ the championship away’. love the photo and the big flashing ‘vergogna’ but alas this is always an italian motorsport magazine we’re talking about. of course they gonna fuck it up in the subtitle.
and that’s all ! thank for the attention ! ngl it was really difficult to find these and had to scratch the bottom of the internet for some. but they are super interesting !
