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.

today on posts that are for me and me only but i hope you get my vision, i present to you:

Songs in Spanish I think Käärijä and Joker Out members would like:

Käärijä:

BZRP Music Sessions #51

This song is sooo cunty + the references in the lyrics/rhymes are INSANE, Jere would go so fucking hard with this I don't have proof but I don't have doubts

Kali Uchis, Peso Pluma - Igual Que Un Ángel

Girlypop song, cute beat, the lyrics of the chorus literally being "god's favorite and she knows" (because she is god's favorite). Deffinitely not influenced by me showing pictures of Jere to people irl and them saying he looks like Peso Pluma (he doesn't)

Bojan:

Soda Stereo - De Música Ligera

Tbh all of Joker Out would love this song, it feels very them, but Bojan gives vibes of a Cerati fanboy that would hear you mention Soda Stereo and would ask you to name 3 songs by them and this was probably the first song he learned how to play on the guitar. Very good song, a classic, if you haven't heard this one yet, please do

Romeo Santos - Propuesta Indecente

I'm laughing so hard at myself going from 90s latam rock to bachata but hear me out. Bojan likes to dance, bachata is a genre with a pretty intricate dance that Bojan would learn to surprise girls with at parties. Also bachata just feels very him??? and this song is iconic and it had a pretty popular meme back in the day he would still quote today

Jure:

Cuarteto de Nos - Enamorado tuyo

This is such a good vibes song, makes me happy listening to it, and I feel like Jure also likes these types of songs. Good, chill vibes

Los Enanitos Verdes - Lamento Boliviano

Another classic latam rock song, a general vibe, everyone knows the lyrics. I feel like Jure would really appreciate the drums on this one (also he would do the joke of "bolivian lament? fuck yeah, I would also lament it if I was from there" <- as a bolivian, I get him)

Kris:

Miranda! - Don

Kris is one of the girlies, this song is for the girlies. He would scream the chorus at the top of his lungs and would probably learn the guitar solo just to show off.

Belanova - Rosa Pastel

....... no I'm not giving Kris the songs meant for the girlies whatareyoutalkingabout

But in all seriousness, this song is so perfect for heart breaks/wanting to be angsty but make it pretty that I feel like Kris would have looped this song so much it led him to writing NGVOT, plus just imagine him vibing to it, it fits him so well

Nace:

Luis Miguel - Ahora te puedes marchar

We know Nace likes citypop, now what if I told you that Luismi is considered citypop by some and was pretty big in Japan in the height of citypop??? Yeah

Quevedo - Columbia

Nace would vibe to this at the club so hard, idk he gives the vibes that he would like Quevedo (and not inspired by a jance fic I was intending to write at some point ofc not 😁)

Jan:

Los Prisioneros - Tren Al Sur

Another latam rock classic, the keyboard at the beginning is pretty mysterious, feels pretty Jan coded imo

Natalia Lafourcade - Hasta la Raíz

One of the most beautiful songs I've listened to. I feel like Jan would appreciate the technical aspect of the song more for some reason, probably what he listens to when driving

[bookwyrminspiration]

im the only person in class today 2 hours one on one language instruction (yippee!) (i'm dead on the floor)

[sundial-bee-scribbles]

"my education is my highest priority" everything returns to vocaloid

[sadlynotthevoid]

So, for my English class we had to read the great gatsby (the short version, anyways).

I had no idea what the book was about beyond that it was very gay for some reason.

Ngl, the moment Gatsby started talking about the army and told him that Jordan was going to tell him about something, I thought it was going to be about spies. I thought he was a spy and he was recruiting Nick.

Anyways— that's it.

[korvax404]

I did so well in my french speaking test today that the teacher had to invent a new level

I kid you not, he said 'look, this doesn't exist, but I'm gonna give you a-' (draws a cute little + next to 'stretch') '-stretch plus.'

Chat I'm going places and those places are EUROPE fuck this island

[steelthroat]

for the astrology ask game taurus, sagittarius aaand 9h ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ

Hallooo!

Okkk let's see:

-Taurus: mhh sushi and pizza....but I love fruit more than anything. Especially that kind of super sweet grape used to make wine *smuah* and apples. And lemons, I love lemons.

Also jelly, it doesn't matter which kind of jelly I just love it a lot... God I want some jelly now whyyyyy

Hmm idk I love food it's one of the best pleasures in the world. So yeah idk I love all the food ✨️✨️ I will be the joy of your grandmas, I will never deny them.

- places I'd like to visit in the future:

Ireland and Scotland: please they're beautiful and so rich of history and things to see and the nature and and-

France: I love France a lot... and admitting this just made me lose my Italian citizenship. I also hate it for its politics and many other stuff... but God isn't it beautiful.

Mexico! I've wanted to go there since I was little! My parents went there for their honeymoon, I fell in love with it when I watched the "Beverly hills chihuahua" movie (you can laugh ahshfhfhfh) and the culture and places look so interesting and beautiful to me! And I know about all the problems etc but still a beautiful place that deserves to be seen and treasured imo

Japan: I am very curious about it. More than the cities I'd like to visit the countryside, the semi-forgotten spots, because I've seen some pictures and it's absolutely breathtaking.

Greece: THE HISTORY! THE ART! THE CULTURE! THE ISLAND WITH THE CATS! Please I could finally see all the things I studied/am studying!!!!

Spain: I'm going there just for "casa batllò" and anything touched by Gaudí, because my love for that man is endless.

Whatever place has more examples of brutalist architecture. I love brutalism. Talk to me about brutalism. Best architectural style ever and I'm dying on this hill.

9h- what languages would you like to learn

ALL OF THEM. No seriously, I love learning new languages and unlocking new thinking patterns (it comes with the package!!!). Atm I can speak fluently Italian and English and with a bit of practice also Spanish (I haven't practiced it for the last 2 years and I'm a bit rusty with the speaking, but reading and listening I'm fine).

But also I want to learn French and German, they're my top priorities.

If I get the occasion I'm going for Russian, Chinese and Japanese too! Haaaaah if I hadn't chosen Art (and writing) as my main passions I would have chosen to study Languages and Etymology!!

ALSO SIGN LANGUAGE (idk which one but the feeling is there)

[argothiathedreamer]

I've become someone who sits around watching Lucha Libre matches from the 90s when she can't decide what else to do.

[royalarchivist]

Phil: Chat why are we spamming flags? [Laughs] I'm not gay or bi. I appreciate- I appreciate the potential support, but I'm neither of those things. It's just me and Fit fcking around. It's just- [Laughs] It's literally just me and Fit fcking around.

Is it Foolish? Is Foolish saying s- ohhh what is happening, hold on. [Checks in-game chat] No it's not Foolish, you're just saying things. I'm just an ally, Chat. I'm just an ally. I'm just very comfortable with my sexuality. Jesus Christ.

Ope, flowers. Boop de boop!

[camelspit]

[darklight-owl]

Look at this fucking thing I found

[queerofthedagger]

a couple of days ago i finished the spanish duolingo course so after some back and forth, i started on french, and not to repeat myself but it really is wild how much you subconsciously keep of a language if you ever engaged with it at all. like. i had three years of french at school which was literally over a decade ago, but between that and my latin and spanish, it's just coming back SO easily. the language brain is just WILD. my most beloved

[vzajemnik]
