Otomotifnet.com – Until now there are still many who are curious about the salaries of MotoGP racers.
Talking about MotoGP racer salaries, don’t be sad if it turns out that in 2022 it is less than in previous years.
This is clear because several figures with big names whose salaries are also large, no longer appear in the 2022 MotoGP world championship.
Take, for example, Valentino Rossi, who retired at the end of the 2021 season ago by defending the Petronas Yamaha SRT team.
Despite defending the satellite team, Rossi’s salary at that time was paid by Yamaha directly with values ranging from 10 to 15 million euros per year (worth Rp. 162 to Rp. 243 billion, an exchange rate of 1 euro worth Rp. 16,227 as of 18 November 2022).
Then in the previous seasons, for example, there were also big names like Jorge Lorenzo who got big salaries with the same value range as The Doctor, both when defending Yamaha, Ducati and Honda.
Other racers with big salaries are Dani Pedrosa who retired in 2018, and Andrea Dovizioso who had received a large salary from Ducati but had to be willing to cut his salary while defending RNF Yamaha.
Meanwhile, currently there are only a few drivers whose salary is more than one million euros (Rp. 16.2 billion).
Here are the top six driver salaries in MotoGP 2022, reported by Motosprint:
1. Marc Marquez (25 million euros / Rp. 324 billion per season)
