01x08 - Succession

[bunniefuu]

So, Mauri, there's only this one left.

There they are.

- Can you see how big it is?
- Here it is! Let's go.

There's nothing left.
There's only one hat.

This one. That's it, Marcello, that's it.
We're done.

32.

44, 45,

46. Valentino, ready.

Thanks to him, a lot of people

got interested in motorcycling.

It really did a lot of good to our sport.

At any race,

80% of the audience
will be supporting him,

and the 55 other riders will have to share

the remaining 20% of the fans.

Valentino is the Michael Jordan
of motorbike racing.

That's how it is and always will be.

I believe we should

take advantage of this reconstruction.
It's really important.

A big part of the past will be lost
and then rebuilt.

And our task is to relate the beauty

of the new generation,

those who ride today.

He's the one who made me want

to become a MotoGP rider.
When I was 6 or 7 years old.

I said, "I wanted to be like him".

Nobody will ever fill
Valentino Rossi's shoes.

NOLAN DEL MADE IN ITALY GRAND PRIX

It's match point day!

Tension is at its peak at Ducati.

This is the day to prevent

Fabio Quartararo
from scoring his match point.

Tension is high for France.

And perhaps at the end...

Ready, set, go!

Pecco's ahead.

He's going for Fabio Quartararo.

He's in 17th position.

Come on, Quartararo!

I told him to be careful at turn 15.

To be careful at 14 and 15.

He was protecting himself
from outer attacks.

He was doing well up to now.

Onto Rossi.

Is the helicopter on Quartararo?

Yes, they've warned them.

Send reactions. We need reactions.

Fabio Quartararo is charging again.

That's some great braking.
Fabio's through. Watch out!

- He's working his way up nicely.
- Come on, Fabio!

Get through inside.

Quartararo gets through!

He has to come off him
with a good turn at Tramonto,

so he gets out of the slipstream.

Bagnaia's been absolutely perfect

since the very beginning of this race.

Five laps remaining!

I'm with Quartararo again.

Fabio Quartararo

is the world champion!

He's the first and only Frenchman to have
ever won this title in the premier class.

Three, two, one, he's World Champion.

Show his face.

There were four laps left,
I had no idea what I was doing.

I kept thinking
about all the good times I'd had

with my family,

especially with my father,

and all the kilometres we'd done
to get here.

Fabio did it! Fabio did it!

Fabio did it!

World Champion!

It's amazing!

- What's on your mind?
- Nothing. I don't know.

I don't know what's on my mind.

- How are you feeling?
- I'm beat.

It's normal, the adrenalin is dropping.

- Congrats, Champion!
- Thanks!

- Sure! Enjoy!
- Thanks!

Your parents,
Étienne and Martine are here.

What did they say to you?

This must be huge for your whole family

because they played a part in this.

Yes, they played a huge part
in this and...

I'm sorry.

Don't worry about it.

Well done, son! Congratulations!

We did it! We did it!

We're all going to cry!

Márquez wins the race.

Bagnaia loses it, and the possibility
of contending for the championship.

It's Valentino Rossi's last race in Italy.

This race was the scene
of problems and losses,

victories and defeats,

and dramas of all kinds.

And how did it end?
With Bagnaia hugging Quartararo.

This shows the incredible people

we are surrounded with.

Great! Awesome!

Congratulations! Oh, guys, awesome!

Bye, see you later!

We can feel

this huge party vibe outside.

But we don't feel like partying at all.

This was really painful for him.

Winning the championship

for his last MotoGP season
would have been extremely special for him,

especially in Misano,
for his last Grand Prix at home.

Watch out,

I'm going to burn the house down!

It was burning everything,

but he just let the flames...

What a show-off!

- Shouldn't you turn them over?
- Yes.

Just leave a bit and serve everyone.

Hats off to the chef!

There were three saleswomen

and one of them said to me, "Is he...

an American singer?"

The American singer for her was Fabio!

A rapper.

The others were like, "Really?"

They thought he'd just released

a new song.

And he turned up
with his hungover voice saying...

What hangover?

I didn't sleep in Misano.

I must have slept four hours tops.

You need to enjoy yourself.

Fabio's going to Portugal.
When are you leaving?

- The day after tomorrow.
- After tomorrow?

So?

No pressure.

That's it.

I did what I had to do.

Man!

This is k*lling me.

Get on your hands and feet,
like when you plank.

Then take the ball...

And you'll make me lean into the turns.

Yes, if it turns left,
I'll push you to the left.

- I see. Like that?
- Yes.

Get down.

So...

- Get down like that.
- Not a complete lap!

No, we'll only do half.

Up to the crash.

No. Let's do one half, then the other, OK?

More or less.

Now, close your eyes.

I want you

to try and remember...

If you put the sound on,
I'll remember it clearly.

Yes, but that's the sound of your bike.

- Yours.
- Yes.

OK, but I want you to try and remember

everything that happened
from the moment you fell

until you finished physiotherapy.

When I heard it was in Portimao,
I didn't want to race.

I'd rather have caught Covid
than race there.

Just concentrate. You can do this.

- So?
- That sucked.

- What?
- The crash.

What I'm scared of is

freaking out when I get there.

Right here, right now, I'm fine.
But when I get there, I'll freak out.

But you'll see the turn.

Of course I will.

ALGARVE INTERNATIONAL CIRCUIT
PORTIMAO

BREMBO ALGARVE GRAND PRIX

At a psychological level,
the first round is like...

Yes.

I'm nearly there. I want to make it.

And Enea's end of season
is quite spectacular.

Bastianini is now on third position.

Fantastic, he's right behind.

After the two falls in Misano
and his two podiums,

I got 32 points back.

So obviously, we're going to fight for it.

This year,

2021 was pretty surprising,
on the rookie front.

Bastianini put a lot of pressure,
he really stepped on it,

even if his bike
wasn't as good as the others',

including Jorge Martín's.

But what Jorge managed to do,

pole positions, podiums,
and even winning a race...

...is pretty unusual

in the MotoGP world.

I think we've had the best rookie season

of the year,

whether we win or not.

And that win will always hold
a special place in my heart.

We know who the MotoGP World Champion
is.

But they still have to crown
the best constructor, team,

independent racer and rookie.

And of course, the winner of the race!

Pecco will try to break the group.
He'll attack from the word go.

If I wear out my tyres, I'm f*cked.

Yeah. But above all,

watch carefully

what they're doing.

It only takes one little change to improve
tremendously. You have plenty of time.

Come on, resist, man!

That was close.

The riders' championship

is what you race for.

The team races for it as well.

But the constructors' championship

is a very important trophy.

At the end of the day,
the whole team wins the title.

The rider's OK. Just gained a position.

Bastianini on 9th position.

That's our goal.

It would be important
for the rookie title.

Red flag!

You're amazing, kid!
I'm so happy for you, man.

Let me see, let me see.

Nine points.

We gained two points.

It's what we needed to do today.

A race to end it.
We're fighting for rookie of the year,

we couldn't hope for more.

We can do better on three or four details,

but let's not forget

that we're still rookies.

How were we feeling
before you got on the track?

We were freaking out.

We started off on second line,
we fought for it.

Can we do better? We always can.

But we need to be happy
with what we've done.

My goal on Sunday, in Valencia,
won't only be to finish in front of him,

but to fight for the podium.

But that's entirely up to me.

Great, awesome, princess.

A new and rather severe case of diplopia.
Double vision.

Seeing double.

The very worst for a pilot.

The disorder arose following a fall

during an off-track practice session
ten days ago.

Nothing new for Márquez, though.

Back in 2011,
he lost the Moto2 championship

for the same reason.

Is double vision
a serious problem for a rider?

Yes, it's very serious.

Because if he suffers from another injury,

he could have issues
with his eye movement.

It could last only a few days,
but it could also go on for months.

When you happen to see a bit of light,

it goes off again.

You can't believe it,
you wonder what you've done wrong.

You're obviously tired,
because you can't be here,

trying the new bike.

It's not the best of times,

but we find some sort of strength

by thinking "that's the way things are,

it will get better".

- You want them all there?
- Yes.

- In chronological order?
- Yes.

What's missing?

The two Hondas and one Yamaha, right?

Should we line them up?

Yes, I think so.
That way, it leaves enough room

to go round this way.

Couldn't we just put
the front wheel there?

No, not there.
I want the motorbikes to come up to here.

We must move them forward.
People won't be able to come through.

If not, they'll be too far back.

They need to be here.

Because the people will be outside,
they won't be able to come close to them.

Impressive, isn't it?

Seeing a big shot of racing history.

MOTUL GRAND PRIX
OF THE VALENCIAN COMMUNITY

Valentino Rossi's

last dance,

after 26 world championship seasons.

We came a long way, and what a way,
for what Valentino has given to us!

- Thank you, Vale!
- Vale!

Stunning, thank you.

You did a wonderful job, guys,

I really mean it.

Big up to you all.

The idea of bringing back
all the nine bikes.

Let's put these up to here.

This was the fastest Yamaha ever.

Seriously.

When he first tried this bike he said,

"I'm going to win ten races with this."

And he won ten of them.

Thank you, guys. You did a great job.

He's going to be so happy. Yes, yes, sure.

He'll be absolutely thrilled.

f*ck, bro...

We need to... Uccio, come with me.

Let's have a chat.

This is from the first championship.

Let's see if I still fit.

Always great to see it.

The Honda 500.

Oh my goodness.

It's f*cking beautiful.

I was supposed to ride it
but they didn't give it to me.

I find it surprising
that Honda never got him a bike like that.

It used to be more of a matter of...

of courage, of heart.

Now, I see it more like a regular job.

Racing is worth it if you're competitive.

If you can be amongst the first five.

Otherwise, it's not worth it.

It's going to be difficult, not having him

in the paddock or meeting up all together

in his motorhome at night.

Because...

He's helped me so much.

He's helped everybody in the Academy.

When he spends a day
with all of us at the Academy,

it is really inspiring.

It shows you
how much we work every single day

in order to be better
than the other riders.

And then, as soon as we're done,
we go to dinner together.

We are a group of riders,

who have been training together
for ten years, so far.

That's thanks to Vale who,

back in 2013,

decided to create this group

and named it VR46 Riders Academy.

Luca Marini, Maro,

and Franco Morbidelli, Franky.

The point is trying to help
younger Italian riders get to MotoGP.

Marini, my brother,

was a Moto3 racer in the CIV. Migno,

Franco Morbidelli, rode a 600 in the CIV.

But Pecco Bagnaia

was a real rookie.

In 2013, my first year in Moto3,

I couldn't handle

all the pressure.

I was afraid of not succeeding in it.

And I think

various things changed in my mind.

Then I managed to get to where I am now.

Next season,

Bagnaia and Morbidelli
will contend for the championship.

They might help us get over

Valentino's absence.

Because there's a little bit of Vale
in both of them.

Great!

A picture with... One, two, three, four.

I'd like to return the favour one day.

I don't know how, but I will.

In the qualifying sessions, thirteen

is really important.

You need to get the right speed and angle.

- 13 is OK.
- To give it a boost.

- I can handle it.
- You need to go fast.

If you don't get the right angle,

you'll get stuck.

- Play around a bit.
- Don't worry.

- I had to be here.
- Welcome, Mum!

- Is that his brother?
- Yes.

The first six turns are quite easy.

Then, I'll step on it.

That's why you need to be in first line.

- I get you.
- I'll leave it here.

Off to work!

Zero, zero!

Zero, he's so fast!

T4. Go, go.

Here's Miller.

We smashed T4.

Come on!

- Jorge is very fast on the straights.
- The little one.

Unbelievable.

A kiss!

sh*t! 30.8.

Great!

Great!

Yes.

Hi!

They won't let him in?

He'll sign with a spray can?

Really? That's difficult.

Is this wall painting going to stay?

It's going to stay?

Forever?

Great. Amazing!

- Do you like it?
- It's awesome.

- Do you recognise yourself?
- Yes!

I look better there than in real life.

Also younger.

- How long did it take to do it?
- Five days.

Five days.

Awesome. I like it a lot.

- My pleasure.
- Great, great. Good job.

What colour would you like? Yellow?

OK.

Great.

Awesome.

46. Brilliant.

WHAT IF IT WERE ALWAYS SUNDAY
THANK YOU VALE

Hi, guys!

Vale...

- How are you?
- Nice to see you.

It's Ronaldinho, bro.

It's not Ronaldinho, it's Ronaldo.

Please!

What the hell?

You know I didn't recognise him.

Me neither.

I had dinner last night.
I went to bed. I couldn't get to sleep.

My stomach was k*lling me.

I started throwing up.

I was sick
for four or five hours straight,

I couldn't sleep.

I got hold of my father around 4 am.

He brought me some medicine.
I got a couple of hours sleep after that.

We'll see if I can do this.

It's tough, I'm not feeling well.

Danilo Petrucci.
What a nice hug between these two riders.

They have shared a lot,
and they are now quitting.

We won't see them
next year, unfortunately.

- What a start!
- That's good.

Come on!

Definitely not our year.

Vale!

Let's go!

- He's doing a great race.
- Yes.

- P10.
- An incredible top ten.

A dream.

I don't know how the kid does it.

Is he moving up on him?

I don't care how he does it,

but it would be amazing
if he could make a podium.

Martín will end the season
as rookie of the year.

He may be three points behind Bastianini,

but he's in a great position right now.

He caught up a bit.

Come on!

Guys... Last lap.

Our heart is broken

in a day meant

for joy and happiness.

We have to thank Vale for being with us.

With a 46 on his helmet!

What a performance!

Here's Bagnaia!

Martín is rookie of the year.

How he grasped the bike!

Here we are. Rossi's last few metres.

Here's Rossi!

It's over! Thank you,

that was fantastic!

You were fantastic!

I've run out of words!

We lacked adjectives 20 years ago,

and we still haven't found any.

Thank you, Valentino!

All the MotoGP group

just stopped here.

All the MotoGP group just stopped here

to join this celebration

of happiness
and to congratulate Valentino Rossi,

who, just a couple of minutes ago,

ended his career.

My love!

It was amazing,

especially in the box,
with all my friends, my team.

We had a party,
just like if I'd won the race.

I'll miss it.

I've always been a rider
as far as I remember.

I've felt like a rider since I was five.

And I still feel that way.

I personally do not consider myself

an "orphan" of Valentino Rossi.

I'm not upset
because he won't be with us anymore.

I am glad I was there
to see him do what he did.

I'm now looking at his legacy.

I want to see the future generation.

- Amazing! He did it!
- That was incredible!

When Doohan retired,

they said it was the end of this sport.

Then Valentino arrived.

He's retiring, they're saying
it's the end. But others will take over.

I love you, bro.

I love you.

Here comes Jorge Martín!

Yes!

One day,

things will click.

And that day,
I'll make a podium or even win.

Everything will change after that.

We can do it! We can do it!

When I signed with Aprilia
five seasons ago,

I was the black sheep of the paddock.

But this has been Aprilia's best year ever
in the premier class,

as if to say: "See, you were wrong!"

The best team in the whole paddock!

It wasn't our year.

We've learned why we've fallen,

why we didn't get good results.

And we'll use all of this for next year

to get the best out of Alex.

Thank you!

Next year,

Fabio will be there for sure.

Fabio did it!

He's MotoGP World Champion!

So will Pecco.

Here's Pecco!

Pecco wins!

- Mir...
- Here comes Mir!

Here comes Mir in turn 15!

Jack...

Franco...

If you ask me who my biggest rivals are,

I'd say Marc. He's on a whole other level.

Marc Márquez wins this one!

581 days after his last win!

My day-to-day life
is more and more normal,

but my motivation to ride my bike
is still there.

OK, I've won the title,
but I don't only want to win it once.

I may be World Champion now, but in 2022,
I won't be World Champion anymore.

In 2022, we'll start again
with a clean slate.

Anything can happen.

And that is really cool.
