The list estimates that the 22-year-old made $4.2 million during his title winning season, compared with $20 million for golfer Gr𒁏eg Norman, who topped the list for the eleventh year in succession.
However, Stoner began 2007 - only his second year in the premier class and firs🐼t with Ducati - having never won ൩a MotoGP race, making his signing something of gamble by the Italian factory.
That was reflected in Stoner's salary and sponsorship ea📖rnings, both of which should rocket in 2008.
F1 driver Mark Webber was the top Australian motorsport earner🦩 wi💝th an estimated $8.4 million income, good enough for third on the list behind footballer Harry Kewell.
The second richest motorsport representativཧe was AMA Supercross/🎶Motocross star Chad Reed, who banked an eye-opening $7.8 million for sixth position, while former AMA Superbike champion Mat Mladin was ninth on ?6.6 million.
Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years and has 🍃seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury is🧸sues.
