YOGYAKARTA The nicknames that are pinned to MotoGP racers are sometimes unique, strange, until they seem not connected to the profession they live. However, it actually becomes an added value for them. There are many nicknames for MotoGP racers that might make you surprised.

Although strange, the nicknames given by fans to the racers are actually a hallmark of their own. Their nicknames history is also different. Here are some of the nicknames that were successfully summarized, taken from various sources.

Who doesn't know Valentino Rossi. This racer even has fans in Indonesia. In the MotoGP scene, Rossi is nicknamed The Doctor. The nickname pinned to him certainly has nothing to do with Rossi's profession.

Apparently, The Doctor was given to Rossi because the Italian rider initially wanted to become a doctor. But there are also those who say that the nickname exists because Rossi always thinks hard and works hard on the circuit. Rossi's work ethic is said to be like a doctor.

Marc Marquez is nicknamed The Baby Alien by his fans. The nickname for Marquez even seems far away. Apparently, the beginning of Marquez's nickname was because of his greatness in winning world competitions at a young age. Even though it seemed strange, Marquez did not mind Alien's nickname being pinned to him.

The nickname for Fabio Quartararo is even more terrible, namely El Pascal, which means the Devil. This alias name is considered quite scary, but this name is actually a characteristic of Fabio Quartararo. It turned out that this nickname was given to him long before he entered MotoGP. The Yamaha rider explained that El Malay had been pinned to him since he was a child. At that time he had a helmet with a devil image that became his trademark.

Maverick Vinales got the nickname Tog Gun from his father, Angel Vinales because he was inspired by the main character named Pete Maverick Mitchell in the Top Gun film. In the film, one of the characters plays the role of fighter pilot American F14 Tomcat who has high speed.

In real life, Einstein is a scientist who discovers the famouscatal theory and genius. But Miguel Oliveira actually got this name because he often celebrated victory by sticking his tongue in front of the camera at the moment of his victory at the 2020 Stiri MotoGP and Catalan GP.

Miguel Oliveira is also considered a smart racer for continuing his education in the dental department even though he competed on the circuit.

The nickname King of Fall was issued to this Spaniard because Pol Espargaro is considered to fall frequently during the first half of MotoGP 2021. On the official MotoGP website, it is said that Espargaro has fallen 13 times since the series opening Qatar GP until the final Dutch GP. This nickname is still related to Pol Espargaro's profession.

Jorge Lorenzo's name is also quite familiar to the ears of the Indonesian people. The nickname Por Fuera for Jorge Lorenzo exists because he often overtakes his opponent from the outside. Por Fuera itself is taken from the Spanish which means the outside.

Lorenzo's outside patrol first appeared when he won at the Brazilian GP in 2003 in the GP125 class. At that time he won the race because he managed to overtake Casey total and Dani Pedrosa at once from the outside.
