168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fabio Quartararo’s new Yamaha contract involves some big money.

Quartararo is now the highest-paid MotoGP rider 𝓰after penning fresh terms to stay with Yamaha until the end of 2026,  report.

He will be🌜 paid a basic salary of approximately €12m per year, the report states.

That’s more than double the pay-packet received by Francesco Bagnaia, the factory Ducati star and reignin🎀g champion.

MotoGP riders have performance-based bonuses structured into their contracts, including for rac💧e wins and title wins.

But Bagnaia, even if he pockets a bonus for winning the championship this year, would not match Quartararo’s basic 💎income of €12m, before the Frenchman is paid any bonuses.

Marc Marquez was previously the highest-paid MotoGP rider until he left the final year of his €20m-per-season H൲onda co🐻ntract.

Yamaha’s big-money offer to keep Quarta𒀰raro was his best-paid option.

Committing to Yamaha r﷽epr🀅esents a major piece of the 2025 rider market puzzle.

He is the 2021 MotoGP cha🦄mpion, and he narrowly missed out on retaining his title on the final day of 2022.

But his Yamaha’s performance has decreased massively♔ compared to the 🌞dominant Ducatis.

By signing on again with Yamaha, it is unlikely that Qu🥀ar⛦tararo can guarantee the chance to fight for the title in the next year or so.

He might even have to wait for the n♚ew regulations to kick in, in 2027.

Behind-the-scenes, the renewal of Quartararo’s contract is just one step in the right dir𓄧ection for Yamaha.

They had already recruited two top Ducati engineers - M🌞assimo Bartolini and Marco Nicotra - who have been cre🍬dited with having an impact already.

And with the benefit of the new concessions rule, Yamaha do have ꧟the possibility to increase their competitiveness🌳.

But 𓆏it won’t be an overnight job and there is likely to be hardships before they fight for the title🍃 again.

But with Quarta🐷raro, they have guaranteed thꦕemselves two more years at least. Although those years come at a massive cost, the highest-price of any rider on the MotoGP grid.
