Enea Bastianini’s salary and Ducati contract contains a clause which may be incentive to beat teammate Francesco Bagnaia

The 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:2023 MotoGP rider line-up will feature the two young, exciting Italians as teammates in Ducat🙈i’s factory team after Bastianini earned the step-up from Gresini to join the 2022 world champion.
Their personal relationship - and Ducati’s team orders -✤ is a key talking point ahead of the new season because Bastianini has already shown willingness to go🐎 wheel-to-wheel with Bagnaia.
Carlo Pernat, Bastianini’s manager, explained🦂 the terms of his deal with Ducati: "The contract expires at the end of 2024. If he makes first, second 🔴or third, his salary triples.”
Pernat revealed Bastianini’s other income: “But it's not just ꦉDucati, ꩵwe have Alpinestars, KYT with decent figures. And other sponsors that are equivalent to other bonuses.
“Between first ꦰand second there is a big differꩲence."
The final incentive for riders to finish even slightly higher may ultimately trump team orders when th♔e season gets underway, particularly for🎉 someone like Bastianini who is hungry for his maiden championship and is riding a bike which is the envy of many of his rivals.
Reigning cham💯pion Bagnaia may discover that the biggest obstacle to retaining his title is actual🔯ly on the other side of the same garage.
"That 𒉰rivalry was built by Ducati unconsciously,” Pꦇernat said.
“At a certain mom🌃ent there was talk of teamwork, but at that moment a dualism wa𝕴s created.
“Enea was playing for the world championship, or at ♛least [within] the first three positions. In the financial field it is worth a lot of money.
“Many times I asked Ducati t𒆙o guarantee us at least third place, but there was always a postponement."

Bast𝄹ianini was snapping at Bagnaia’s heels at Misano, even when his future as 50 percent of the factory Ducati line-up was guaranteed.
"Enea is a tough guy, he is not there and will n💎ot be there at team games,” Pernat saiꦫd.
“They are two completely different riders: Bagnaia is fast and consistent, Bastianini is more like 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Casey Stoner, a tightrope walker, overtaking clean but at times when it is mo𝔍re difficult to pass. It will be a good battle, but it's normal."
Pernat said about the changing life of a MotoGP man🅺ager: "Managing a rider is like managing a company, several riders came to me, including Dennis Foggia, many parents of 12-13 year olds.
“The life of a manager is very hard, I am 75 years old! Our generation was on the handshake, on frie🅰ndly contracts. Today you make a contract with you⛎r lawyers, but they can change at any moment."
