How Sebastien Tortelli became the man to dethrone the King of the MXGP's, Stefan Everts!

Sebastien Tortelli is a 2 time Motocross World Champion and one of the fastest gentleman to ever ride a dirtbike. He was one of the only riders to beat Stefan Everts in his prime to a World Title and was one of the only riders in the early 2000's to be able to beat Ricky Carmichael. In more recent times, he has moves to Barcelona to be the lead test rider for the all new Stark Future project. We recorded this podcast in Barcelona just days after riding the Stark for the first time.

[@wd840mxhighlights]

been waiting to hear from this legend. Thanks gypsy!

[@GYPSYTALES]

Your highlights video helped my research massive for this! Thanks for doing what you do.

[@wd840mxhighlights]

@@GYPSYTALES awesome to hear man glad I could help, cheers!

[@Gremlinsbeabout]

ive said it multiple times. This guy, is the fastest two stroke rider, of all time. hands down.

[@purplehead9511]

Tortelli was a beast and mega fast on a 2 stroke, another excellent guest Gypsy Tales 💪

[@joshboshify]

The fastest rider I’ve seen on a MX bike. Legend!

[@marcsans952]

Seb tortelli amazing career!! Top interview!!

[@andersnord8255]

Respect! What a champion, warrior and rider! We want more!

[@MrAymardo]

Thank you for having him! Such a fast and comitted rider, while being such a humble and nice gentleman. And when one of the fastest 2 Strokes rider is involved in developing "the future", you better watch out! 😁

[@jaimepalacios788]

Thanks Gypsy! This is Gold. 🤙

[@onlygazza]

Fastest man ever to sit on a mx bike, legend 👌

[@michaelgrubbs1618]

Sebastian totally reminds me of Travis Pastrana and Bubba Stewart all rolled into one

[@budsteppin99]

Got to watch him in the USA for ama motocross and I also got to see him at the budds creek usgp in 1999. Awesome style and a really nice guy.

[@evo5349]

Seen Seb at Foxhills GP and the sound was great. The Kawasaki 250 was tuned by Jan de Groot

[@tigerarmy43]

He's always been my favorite motocross rider. I would be screaming during his battles with RC.

[@matheson68]

great interview. What a rider tortelli was. I think he is going to race the Varg electric bike soon.

[@tonygee3284]

Seb was absolutely a legend to watch he was so fast ......... . 120%

[@TheBubbascrub]

Man gotta be honest loved tortelli growing up. 125 unbeatable then moved up and beat everts, then to America starts more or less last every race and ends up in the top 3, absolute beast

[@cedriclason9436]

98 was such an incredible year...

[@8931888]

Always a fan since 1st seeing Seb in French championship in 95. DeMaria was on his 1st year Yamaha ride. Both had immaculate riding styles but ST was such an aggressor. I knew he was going places. It’s great to see how both Greg Albertyn( my countrymen ) and Sebastian sussed Everts out and both got into his head. To this day Tortelli has to be the best and fasted rider all terrain . No one had throttle control to match he’s blistering pace. An absolutely master of 2 strokes on any given day

[@dnicemj]

It would be great to have Javier García vico the Spanish McGrath 🙏🙏🙏🙏plz

[@anthonymoreno57]

Here for all the Stark juiciness tomorrow!

[@joshbartel7384]

This was an amazing interview…wait, are they in a furniture store or a museum or something?!

[@theedge60]

I was at the GP of Belgium in '98. Standing at the back of the circuit it was crazy to see the lead Everts had after 3/4 th lap. Was 10 seconds. We know now why..

[@dannnyw111]

can we get villopoto on the podcast!

[@pumpvolumes]

gutted the world vets was just cancelled at hawkstone park in sept, seb was supposed to be riding the stark varg, wouldve been interesting to see

[@theadorebundy4514]

Why was it canceled do happen to know??

[@uncoant4750]

Haha couldn't click fast enough with that thumb nail.

[@michaelgrubbs1618]

Watching St. In his day in America. I want to say the only ride it is straight-up catch and pass RC. Redbud Sebastian when your bike conked out before the Finish Line jump. When you were on . nobody faster. What up with Stark

[@tigerarmy43]

I agree! I so remember that at Redbud. It was so disheartening to watch!!!

[@supergremlin6261]

The diss track story is Fuckin hilarious! Learn some new shit on Gypsy Tales, right on🤙

[@collier128hotass]

Such a good pod cast seb was a savage rider what a great insight, love these pod casts

[@astreet339]

SEB T!

[@MrCocky73]

Everts laptimes might not have the quickest time,but they were so consistently fast over a full race,from the first lap to the last lap.If only Seb understood that he didn't need to win every race to win a title

[@nathancrittenden8525]

I've seen Stefan put the fastest lap of the race in on the last laps. The rougher the better for him he was an animal

[@MrCocky73]

@@nathancrittenden8525 I know, ive seen him live when the world championship came to N.Ireland through out the years, but he wasnt always the fastest on track,but every lap he done was close to the fastest and he was relentless with every lap

[@nathancrittenden8525]

@@MrCocky73 I watched him a few times live and tbh in the later years no one had anything for him in speed or consistency he was winning easy whilst looking like he was on a Sunday stroll. The highlight for me was at the mxon at matterley basin in 06. When he beat James Stewart straight up I was there I was only about 14 that day was something else

[@MrCocky73]

@@nathancrittenden8525 I was at desert martin when Coppins and Everts had a mighty race in the second race.Everts win the first race ,Coppins won the second,Everts got the overall. It was the only race Everts lost in his retirement season

[@nathancrittenden8525]

@@MrCocky73 I remember he ruined the perfect season for him. Desert martin was some track shame it doesn't get used anymore for the GPs

[@CraigHenry-zq8jz]

Pit birra.

[@itchyfeet4205]

Tortelli was great great, but Stephan stepped down, he was NOT dethroned.
