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

In a previous era, stars like Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo ꧒earned fortunes to race at the sharp end of the championship.

But Miller insis🅺ts 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 the sport in 2023.

Miller suggests the declining 🎀pay-packets are a result of the manufacturers, 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 Ta💮les podcast🧸.

“Now guyဣs 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 forward is to ride somethi🤪ng different. They have set the bar there.

“The market has dropped.

“Marc is stil▨l Marc, and Pecco is still Pecco. But take it back 1🐻0 years? It’s hard to say, being a rider, but there is nobody trying to poach your rider.

“Unless a rider wants ꦑto 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 b💫ikes a♐re so strong. They set the bar. ‘You want the opportunity to ride this bike?’

“It’s unfortunate for the g꧙uys because they are not being paid accordingly.”

Jack Miller: 'Market value' decreased for MotoGP riders

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

He said: “The cream will always rise to the top in terms of ri🔯ders. 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 they’re chasing - th🍒e results.

“Unfortunately soꦿme of them aren’t getting paid what they should be, to risk their life, essent🐲ially, every weekend.

“They have a limited time to make m꧑oney. [Money paid to riders] has dimiꦑnished 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 t🐷ime in the premier class.

Miller’s career at MotoGP level seemed to be over last year when he lost his factory KTM seat to P🐬edro Acosta.

Alternatives seemed to have dried up until the Pramac team swapped Ducati f♓or Yamaha, and rescued him.
