Details about MotoGP rider pay has been shared🍰, in a rare disclosure of how much money they reall💛y pocket.

Information about the salaries and bonuses of MotoGP riders is extremely scarce.

Yamaha’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo is reportedly the highest-paid on the current grid at €12m per season, while 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez supposedly walked away from H🥃onda’s offer of €25m per seaso🌼n to join Ducati.

But the numbers at the back end of the grid are less clear, and Pramac Yamaha’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jack Miller has now spoken ab🅺out the need for a minimum sign-on package for rookies.

“It has been a talking point for us, as riders. Marc Marquez has spoken on i🦹t. Many guys have spoken,” Miller told the Gypsy Tales podcast.

“There needs to be, at least, a minimum sign-on.

“Some ofꦆ these guys are signing on🍸 for next to nothing.”

Miller was asked what the lowest sign-up dea꧒l might be fo♚r a MotoGP rookie.

“Probably 60,000. I swear to you,” he said.

Miller was talking on an Australian podcast so it seems he means 60,000 Australian dollars - equivalent to approximately £28,000 or $36,000. It was unconfirmed which currency he was discussing but it s൩till provides an insight into the numbers on of🌞fer.

Miller explained how money from elsewhere would boost a rider’s 🍌bank b🦩alance.

“You might make up [t꧃he sign-on money]. If y🧸ou’re signing up as a rookie, you are not guaranteed bonuses,” he said.

“But you will probably get, as a top-𒆙level Moto2 rider, 100,000 or 150,000. But your leather deal, your helmet🌊 deal, will make up for it. It will be better.

“But it isn’t what it used to be.”

Gone are the days when MotoGP superstars like Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo were recruited on mega-ওmillio♛n-dollar deals.

Miller insists that ⭕the dominance of manufacturers and their individual bikes has lowered the market value of the riders themselves.

He claims thatꦑ the money on offer when he꧒ started in MotoGP was better.

“When I came in, the solid b🌜ase salary was around 250,000,” he said.

“But it’s not all roses. When I came in☂, there were still guys paying for 𝕴rides in MotoGP. “We don’t have that now. It’s gone, which is fantastic. It’s better.”

Jack Miller: MotoGP “not only a full-time job”

T🀅he Pramac rider insisted🃏 that the incredible demands of being a MotoGP rider deserve a greater reward.

“It’s not only a fಌull-time job, it’s a life,” he sꦡaid.

“Every day that ⛦you’re not💯 on the bike, you’re busting your arse in the gym, busting your arse training.

“Doin🍎g all of these little 1% increments to make yourself better.

“I believe, if you are risking your longevit💯y, your body is never going to be the same.

♓“Don’t get me wrong - it’s a fantastic job and I’d do it for free, because I love it. But you are putting on a show for everybody, doing these great things, and𝔉 you should be paid accordingly.

“P🔜eople should be able to live a comfortable life. I say that now because I’ve been here for 10 years and I can go home and live comfortably.൲ I have been very fortunate in my job.

“Marc is happy to say his point on it, and he has bee🦹n paid well. But he's one of the ones who says it more than me. It’s something that our sport does need to work on. We have spoken to the organisation about it. Whether that falls on deaf ears or not is 🤪another thing. But we need to be better for the riders.

“They are very good for the riders - the safety commission is fantastic, the camaraderie has nevꦫer been better in MotoGP.”

Miller also pointed out how a lifetime of dedication to becomi𒁃ng a motorcycle racer can backfire unless thꦛe money in return is good enough.

He insisted that it can take 15 years to even reach MotoGP, during which time a budding rider has missed out💯 on other life opportunities.

“You’ve got no schooling to fa🌠ll back on,” he said. “As an Austꦬralian, you move to the other side of the world.

“Some kids ha♛ve been over ther🌺e since they were 13 or 14 years old.

“I happily help however I c𒉰an with guid𒁏ance, because I know the struggle.

“Some of these people have dedicated everything, and it’s all they know. In the past, it’s all 𝓡they need🅘ed to know.

“It’s something that the general audieℱnce needs to know.

“There෴’s no guarantee that you walk out of any weekend. 22 rounds, you rac🅠e [every other] weekend.”
