FABIO QUARTARARO | Childhood, The thrill of becoming World Champion & Stories from the TwoJeys Villa

Fabio did an interview with two friends of his here. Considering his haircut and the fact that he asked Jorge (Lorenzo) about Dubai, I'm pretty confident in placing this somewhere in February of 2024.

Obviously non-exhaustive list of what was talked about in the video. A bunch of stuff we already knew (especially in the beginning) and a couple of new elements.

Was asked about the story behind the “El Diablo” nickname, which, we all know by now (devil on the back of one of the helmets he had as a kid competing in Spain, Spanish kids started calling him “diablo” because of that).

Asked about how he started with bikes, talked about his dad doing some races and said he started riding peewee bikes when he was 4.

He said that when he got into MotoGP, about 95% of people didn’t believe that he should have gotten the chance to be there.

The hosts talked about how sometimes in this context, the son/father relationship could get toxic with fathers pushing their dreams onto their son. Fabio said that it was never the case for him but that it was important for fathers to not push their kids into motorcycling if they weren’t interested.

They talked about how Fabio still manage to wave at and interact with people and stuff right before races meanwhile other riders are entirely focused on themselves. Fabio said that if he focuses too much on himself, that’s how he gets nervous. He enjoys until the moment he puts the helmet on, then it’s different.

Fabio enjoys having friends & family with him at races and he said that he always makes the most of it and that it always gives him a good energy.

He’s a sore loser and at first he struggled with the bad results (especially last season) but he’s learned how to handle those emotions now and believes that there is always something to learn even in the bad results.

Jorge Lorenzo appeared and Fabio asked him about being back from Dubai.

They asked Fabio about his dreams now that’s he’s already completed one (becoming world champion) and Fabio said that obviously he wants a second title but on the personal side, he’d like to have his own clothing brand (but for now he’s focused on his sporting career).

When asked if he will still be riding when he’s 40 years old, Fabio said that probably not (he remembers that Valentino retired at 42). He sees himself retiring young, not more than 10 years from now. Also said that 31-32 could be a good age for him to retire.

[on the matter of being afraid while riding & injuries] : “When you’re on the ground, you’re bleeding, and the first thing you’re thinking about is how much time do I need to get better and ride again?”

Fabio said that going up from 300 to 360 kph on the straight is not the most impressive thing but what is is slowing down from 360 to 80, and then going back up to 360 so fast.

“If everyone on the grid had the exact same bike, where do you think you would be this year?” “Fighting for the title until the end, for sure.”

He was asked about Marc and whether or not it was true that Marc could break later than everyone else, and I’m going to write the whole answer down because once again, Fabio was being Marc’s number one fanboy and I adore him for that : “Marquez, para mi, mira que realmente me gusta Valentino y todo pero para mi Marc es el mejor de la historia. Ha ganado a lo mejor menos titulos pero Marc, desde que llego a MotoGP hasta ahora… Me recuerdo en 2014, gano las 10 primeras carreras, dices “a ver este tío quien es?” y lo mas fuerte es que lo haces en agua, en seco, con viento, condiciones malas, buenas. El tío va siempre muy rápido. Y esto es para mi un ejemplo de como… como piloto. Y dices, como es posible, su agresividad. A lo mejor, yo soy mas suave pero cuando lo ves parece que va un segundo y medio mas rápido que tu.” 

= “Marquez, for me, look I really like Valentino but for me Marc is the best in history. Maybe he’s won less titles but Marc, since he’s joined MotoGP until now… I remember in 2014, he won the first 10 races, and you wonder “this guy, who is he?” and the most impressive thing is that he does it in the water, on the dry, with wind, good conditions, bad ones. He’s always really fast and for me he’s an example of how to be as a rider. And you wonder, how is it possible, his aggressiveness. Maybe I’m more gentle with the bike but when you look at him it looks like he’s going a second and a half faster than you.”

Fabio said that popularity wise, things changed after his first win and he can feel it when he’s in Le Mans and Barcelona, the number of french flags and people wearing his number.

At some point, they (assuming officials) told Fabio that he couldn’t wear his pearl necklace because what if the necklace broke and the pearls went on the track?

Fabio met the guys from TwoJeys (the guys interviewing him in the video, the pearl necklace is from their brand) in Ibiza in July 2021 so they asked about the experience and Fabio said that it was the first time he realized what it was like to enjoy/make the most of holidays (it was his first time there and they spent 3 days together).

Fabio talked about the pressure of having swapped seats with Valentino (and said again that Valentino was his idol growing up).

Valentino took care of Fabio’s merchandizing for two years and he also invited him at the ranch when he was 15. Fabio said that the first time they were riding at 1pm and the others would wake up at noon, eat and go but Fabio woke up at 7am already hyper excited to ride.

They asked Fabio who ever contacted Fabio and had Fabio being like “wow, this is happening” and Fabio said it mostly happened after he got his first win, mentioned Neymar and also having a conversation with J Balvin.

Biggest sacrifice he’s had to make was living in Spain without his parents when he was 14 (and until he was 18).

Celebrity crush? Kendall Jenner (hasn’t talked to her).

Regretting a tattoo? One that he has had covered.

Where do you see yourself growing a family? In France, but in the future.

I do sort of wish western anime fans would analyze anime and manga from a framework of japanese historical and cultural context. Specifically a lot of works from the 90s being influenced by the general aimlessness and ennui that a lot of people were experiencing due to the burst in the bubble economy and the national trauma caused by the sarin terrorist attack. I think in interacting with media that’s not local to our sociocultural/sociopolitical sphere it’s easy to forget that it’s influenced and shaped by the same kinds of factors that influence media within our own cultural dome and there ends up being this baseline misalignment of perception between the causative elements of a narrative and viewer interpretation of those elements. It’s a form of death of the author that i think, in some measure, hinders our ability to fully understand/come to terms with creator intent and the full scope of a work’s merits

K2 for echorexfives? 👀

Rex would like a refund on his ARCs. Or a nap. Either is fine.

Just imagine for the second one that Rex is on an official holo call or something XD

Help me get back into sketching through some of these polyam/platonic pose prompts :3 (I'm still slowly doing these, they help powering through this little artistic crisis I'm suffering rn)

anyone else ever feel like they can never say what they mean when they talk to other people. like i'm just making noises with my mouth that vaguely resemble what i'm actually trying to communicate.

Just looked up the word "frown" because i wasn't sure about spelling for a moment and-

WHAT DO YOU MEAN FROWNING IS WHAT YOUR BROWS DO NOT WHAT YOUR MOUTH DOES???

why is this:

called a frown if it doesn't even have eyebrows

Bruh this is why my autistic ass struggles so much with facial expressions, wtf do u mean it's eyebrows that show frowning

I practically never emote with my eyebrows unless i'm doing something deliberately like raising them or scrunching my nose, how was i supposed to know other people do that and what it means

another thing that gets me really emotional about annabeth's adhd in the show is how she so often gets sucked into her own brain, thinking 6 steps ahead, or trying to follow her plan which she has yet to voice out loud, and then unintentionally is a little bit mean on the outside. like, she put percy under the impression that they couldn't be friends because of how she was treating him. she was literally just so in her own head that she didn't notice. she was cold on the bus and snappy on the satyr path because she was working with a lot more context and understanding of the mythical world than percy... which was probably too overwhelming in her own head to sort out and express out loud, too. she was snappy at grover at the arch because they were still trying to find sanctuary from echidna and she was their navigator to the temple. she became conscious of her attitude only after she could somewhat get out of the headspace of navigating. you can SEE on her face that she doesn't even fully understand these moments and that she doesn't mean any harm. you can tell that she was really hurt when percy made that comment about never being friends. if she could control it, things wouldn't be this way, and that's exactly how disorders work.

it's not just some superpower that she can think so quickly and critically--she also pays the price in other ways because this thinking is constant. the reality she experiences is then different from what's going on outside, and that can be so confusing and exhausting to manage. it's a toll on her, and so many of leah's little facial expressions make it easy to believe that annabeth's had her moments of "my brain is broken" too.

In the novel, the couple has a happy ending. We didn’t in reality. I couldn’t understand how lonely she felt, and she returned to Korea without a word to me.
