168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo’s new Yamaha contract involves some big money.

Quartararo is now the highest-paid MotoGP rider after penning fresh terms to stay with Yamaha until the eꦗnd of 202ཧ6,  report.

He will be paid a basic salar♐y of approximately €12❀m per year, the report states.

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

MotoGP riders have performance✃-based bonuses structured into their contracts, including for race wins and title wins.

But Bagnaia, even if he pockets a bonus for winning the championship this year, would no💜t match Quartararo’s basic income of €12m, before the Frenchman iꦚs paid any bonuses.

Marc Marquez was previously the💫 highe𒆙st-paid MotoGP rider until he left the final year of his €20m-per-season Honda contract.

Yamaha’s big-🌺money offer to keep Quartararo was his b🍷est-paid option.

Committing to Yamaha represents a major piece of t💙he 2025 rider market puzzle.

He is the 2021🍨 MotoGP champion, and he narrowly mis🍎sed 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 wi♑th Yamaha, it is unlikely that Quartararo can guarantee the chance to fighღt for the title in the next year or so.

He might even h🍰ave to wait for the new regulations to kick in, in 2027.

Behind-the-scenes, the renewal of Quartararo’s contract is just one step in the r🐟ight direction for Yamaha.

They had already recruited two top Ducati engineers - Massimo Bartolini and Marco Nicotr꧃a - who have been credited with having an impact already.

And with the benefi♍💯t of the new concessions rule, Yamaha do have the possibility to increase their competitiveness.

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

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