Moto GP: when Mbappé responds to Quartararo's tribute

2020-07-26T18:52:41.882Z


Moments after crossing the finish line of the Andalusian Grand Prix as a winner, the French driver mimicked the celebration


It is perhaps the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Certainly, the proof of a real and reciprocal respect between two young French champions. This Sunday, just after crossing the finish line of the Catalan Grand Prix as the winner, Fabio Quartararo stood up on his powerful machine and then, bust straight, crossed his arms. A celebration that obviously recalls that practiced by Kylian Mbappé after each of his goals. "I had a little celebration à la Kylian Mbappé", confirmed the leader of the Moto GP world championship at the microphone of Canal +.

The answer was not long in coming. Moments later, the PSG international striker responded to the pilot on social networks. “Congratulations. We can say that you have taste… ”, slipped Mbappé in a tweet decorated with smileys. One way to find a smile after his right ankle injury contracted Friday night during the final of the Coupe de France.

Congratulations 🍾🏁 @ FabioQ20
We can say that you have taste ... 😝
10/10 👏🏽 https://t.co/SzK6qivCyk

This tribute by Fabio Quartararo is not by chance. The one who has just pocketed the first two Grand Prix of the MotoGP season (and of his career) in quick succession has never hidden his admiration for the 2018 world champion.

"I really like the impression of ease that Kylian gives off"

"The start of Kylian's career is impressive," said the native of Nice recently in an interview with France Football magazine. I've been following football for a few years now and what he does is amazing. I think he has already marked all of France and a good part of the world by accomplishing all that. Personally, he impressed me on several aspects but I really like the impression of ease he gives off, especially when he eliminates his opponents. I also like the serenity that it sends back and I find myself in it. Pressure is what tires us the most. Personally, I had to see a psychologist who helped me calm down and take it upon myself to handle situations calmly. With him, it seems innate. I have already attended a few matches at the Parc and you can feel that he is only focused on the game, that he is in his game all the time. "

Another point in common between the two French champions, they burned the split times and reached the peaks of their respective sports very young. They do not like to have their performance reduced to their age. "It's true that I saw an interview with Kylian in which he said he didn't have to talk about his age, and I think it's the same with me", affirmed Quartararo for his part. .

Aged 21 (Mbappé was born in December 1998 and Quartararo in April 1999), the two French prodigies have the future ahead of them. For the greatest happiness of the French sport.
