Jack Miller has shone a spotlight on the money that MotoGP riders are paid.

In a previous era, stars l🐭ike Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo earned fortunes to race at the sharp end of the championship.

But Miller insists the salaries🔜 for riders on today’s grid has fallen since the heydays of Rossi and Lorenzo.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo is reportedly the highest-paid rider today on €12m per year. 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez walked away from Honda where he was the top earner in th🌺e sport 🔯in 2023.

Miller suggests the declining pay-packets are a result of the manufacturer♈s, and their specific bikes, becoming the dominant force in MotoGP, rather than individual riders.

“The riders back in the day - the big three or four -🅘 were being paid incredibly,” the Pramac Yamaha rider told the Gypsy Tales podcast.

“Now guys who are rookies - or established riders, myself included - are signing for peanuts. Simply 🎀to get on the bike or get your foot in the door.

“The only other way to make decent money or to go forw🌠a𝔍rd is to ride something different. They have set the bar there.

“The market has dropped.

“Marc is still Marc, and Pecco is still Pec🔯co. But take it back 10 years? It’s hard to say, being a rider, but there is nobody trying to poach your rider.

“U꧙nless a rider wants to go - like myself or Enea from Ducati - nobody is trying to poach them. You don’t feel like you’re losing them to a competitor.

“The bikes are so st👍rong. They set the bar. ‘You want the opportunity to ride this bike?’

“It’s unfortunate for the guys because they are not being paid aꦿccordingly.”

Jack Miller: 'Market value' decreased for MotoGP riders

Miller explained how the desperation of riders to claim the best possible bike has driven down their bargaining positions in contrℱact talks.

He sai꧃d: “The cream will always rise to the top in terms of riders. But, when you take away options, or options aren’t🌠 there because somebody is so much ahead of the rest, then it decreases the market value.

“The🐼 guys want to win, to do their best. That’s what theꦅy’re chasing - the results.

“Unfortunately some of them aren’t 💟getting 🔜paid what they should be, to risk their life, essentially, every weekend.

“They have a limited time to make money. [Money paid to riders] has diminished a lot🙈 in the past 10 years."

Miller is a veteran of MotoGP into his 11th year.

He has represented Honda, 🦩Ducati, KTM 🌜and now Yamaha during his time in the premier class.

Miller’s career at MotoGP level seemed to be over last yeaꦿr when he lost his factory KTM💦 seat to Pedro Acosta.

Alterna♒tives se⛦emed to have dried up until the Pramac team swapped Ducati for Yamaha, and rescued him.
