Alejandro Talavante a obtenu un triomphe très important à Arles avec quatre oreilles face à un grand lot de Jandilla dont deux toros de haut niveau.
Discreet performance from José Maria Manzanares and Diego Ventura won a trophy and lost the big gate during the last kill.

Jandilla is an example among all ganaderos for the class and bravery of its toros with regularity in exemplary performance and an exceptional percentage of large toros. "80 years of selection work" explained an admiring Robert Margé in the callejon.

Valencia requested an indulto refused by the palco for a grand toro which allowed the triumph of Roca Rey. They still won three good bulls out of four in Arles with two high-level braves. Talavante's first, marked with Vegahermosa's second home iron, and his last toro, awarded an indisputable posthumous vuelta.

What beautiful moments Alejandro Talavante and Jandilla offered for this Easter Sunday.

The protégé of Simon Casas began his two faenas by toreing on his knees to immediately seduce the tendidos. Taking advantage of the class of his two opponents, an inspired Talavante offered magnificent series which captivated the public. Obviously, his left hand, which represents a real war treasure, occupies a special place with this ability to extend passes to infinity with unique slowness and verticality.

His inspirations always surprise and impact like his kneeling sequences, his manoletinas, his arruzinas or the finale of his second faena from below in genuflection.

But he also completed his usual repertoire of two impeccable swords and right-handed series under the wind and rain, facing the last toro, with total relaxation, seeming to give in.

In the end, he obtained four ears of immense weight and his bullfight in Arles will remain one of the great moments of time 2 024 in France. In a period where the fashion is for elongated faenas, Talavante proves that we can combine intensity and condensation.

Diego Ventura was able to accompany Alejandro Talavante through the front door. Faced with a first toro from Los Espartales at a weak gallop, the Portuguese displayed his technique and provoked his opponent in compromised terrain to tear off a first ear. His second toro offered him more options and Ventura had the opportunity to display all the beauty of his repertoire, notably with one of his star horses, Bronce. But failures at the conclusion caused him to lose two additional ears.

The visit of José Maria Manzanares to Arles will not remain for posterity. His first Jandilla was embedded and developed violence. The second had great qualities. But the Apolon of Alicante did not provide sufficient ingredients to connect with the public and got angry throughout the bullfight after Eole.

There will remain a few classy gestures on the right hand and use of the other hand very sparingly. In this discreet performance, Manzanares can congratulate himself on having regained all his effectiveness with the sword.
