Another thing re: Dovi that adds a little pizazz a little je ne sais quoi is that he has been a dad for really long. I don't think any other rider has children of the age that Dovi's daughter is, casey being the only exception but his daughters were raised after he was done with his career. Like Dovi was actively a father while also riding, and seems to be close to his daughter in a trademark dad to Teenage girl way. It's compelling to me that this is an active family man with a child at home that wasn't a baby and was still participating in scary death sport spectacle. I want to hear what you think about that.
YEAH.. became a dad at 23.. and separated from her mom shortly after her birth right. my thoughts on this are more along the lines of that specifically bc i find it fascinating that hes managed to stay involved with her despite that, like by all accounts its already hard to be an involved parent when you're that busy as an athlete and traveling so much. then you of course also have the gender disparity there, some current on grid dads are Not shy about talking about how proud they are to offload all the childcare to their partners LOL nasty asses. but it seems dovi had her with him so much and like you said was actively parenting as much as he could while riding which is bonkers!! he couldve just..not. like many others do. i love this quote its so dovi. immediately talking about the planning and logistical side of it all
Tumblr media
yknow its funny bc ive Been in the dovi mines just by extension of trying to gobble up as much about marc and related to marc as possible. but he didnt Click for me until i watched him buy groceries and go for the stuff on sale and do the dishes and cook for himself and his friends and clean and tidy up lol i agree w u i think hes so compelling bc hes really the anti-thesis to the usual male athlete
