’ s nickname is ‘ Falcão ’, which translates to ‘ Hawk ’ in English . It ’ s his nickname because that ’ s his second family name , and fittingly , an animal that Oliveira would identify as is in fact a hawk . Why ? Because hawks are fast , precise , and analytic .
the MotoGP™ paddock , a lot of people can speak at least two languages – their native tongue and , normally , English . However , Oliveira speaks five languages : Portuguese , English , Spanish , Italian , and French . Quite the skillset Oliveira possesses then , considering his degree in dentistry and his obvious ability on a MotoGP™ bike .
one of us will have received advice on numerous occasions throughout our lives , but what is Oliveira ’ s best advice that he ’ s been given ? To always give your best , and if your best isn ’ t enough , be happy that you did what you could .
racing fans always remember their first time being trackside to watch their favourite riders live . Oliveira ’ s first race as a fan was at Estoril in 2005 , when Alex Barros beat Valentino Rossi to victory by 2.7s .
songs and favourite artists are always popular things to know about someone . For Oliveira , two artists / bands are top of the pops for him : Portuguese singer Rui Veloso , and the world-famous Coldplay .

popular question when learning about someone is what their favourite TV series or film is . Oliveira ’ s favourite TV series is The Office ( US version ) – a great choice – and his favourite film is also a top pick : Gladiator .
need to have strict diets for obvious reasons , but every once in a while , a cheat meal is needed . After a race weekend , Oliveira ’ s go-to is a McDonald ’ s , with his favourite cheat meal being a double cheeseburger .
Oliveira had to choose a former rider to be his personal coach , the 27-year-old would opt for Valentino Rossi or Dani Pedrosa – the latter , of course , works closely with Oliveira in the KTM ranks already .
a MotoGP™ rider , Oliveira gets to visit plenty of different countries and cultures around the world . His favourite place to visit is Japan ’ s capital : Tokyo !
finally , if Oliveira could play a character from a movie or TV series , then which one would he like to play ? Peter Parker in Spider-Man . Again , a great choice ”
