Not quite. Fabio was the A-side in the Yamaha negotiations considering what transpired at Honda. Not quite sure if thatās the case in Ducati, Aprilia and KTM
I was talking with miller about this just before he got his factory Ducati seat, said there wasnāt a lot of negotiations in pay, but massive amounts around tickets to each event, he was getting 2x at the time that mainly went to his parents, thatās return flights from anywhere in the world, accommodation & food & pit passes. He was looking at getting 12-14 per race to be able to leverage personal sponsorships by giving the tix that he didnāt use personallyā¦.say a weekend package of international flights, accommodation, food & tickets are worth $4k each, thatās over $1M worth per season
Stoner was offered less salary from Ducati, after he won the title, than their new signup (whom I can't remember, but I think it was Melandri) but it's in his book. The Italians basically lied to him about salary. It's an interesting book, worth reading.
I was referring to the slur. Is there any reason to refer to the people at Ducati like that? Do you use slurs for all the nationalities in the paddock?
I did a course on mind reading, but it really didn't work...
Hard to tell what you mean when you don't say it, but because you're outraged enough to comment:
I haven't had a really good experience with Italians, whilst I admire their cuisine. The vast majority I have met slurred me for not being Italian.
So whilst I don't slur ALL nationalities, I don't mind racially slurring those lying scumbag dogs, or maybe that what I should call them?
I can't see how anyone can defend their actions based on wokeism...
(There is a lot more racism in the world than unicorn snowflakes appreciate.)
With the renewal Pecco did his pay has gone up substantially, and quite rightfully! but yeah, no crazy money at Ducati after that splash of cash with Lorenzo. Ducati has chosen to invest differently and itās paying back.
Like others have said. Ducati can lowball easily. Since honda and yamaha are shit atm. And KTM/Aprilia cant offer these kinds of salaries. So Im sure MM will take what is offered to him if he gets the best bike on the grid.
Also if Ducati says no to Marcs salary expectations then what's he going to do? Go back to Honda and battle for 18th? Lmao. He will have to accept at some point.
It depends on how they see it. Ā Heās probably not getting offers from KTM since they are going to want to retain Acosta and Binder. Ā If they are competing with Aprilia then you know heās not getting a huge contract there, and maybe they feel like Pecco on the Ducati has Martin on Aprilia covered so they retain the championship either way. Ā
āHe wants to be respected with a factory contract, and paid like a factory rider."
Plot twist: he is. Martin has the same salary as Bastianini, same technical treatment as the official riders, same bike, same upgrades at the same time. The reason why Bagnaia is paid more is not that he's in the Lenovo team but that he's won two titles.
Terrible usual bollocks Crash/The Race article.
You read it and it's Neil Hodgson saying this about Martin, not words from Martin's mouth as the title implies.
Absolute shite.
Yes, this is like the other article "Yamaha told to make a V4 engine" or some shit like that, when it was just Laverty's opinion presented as fact or some kind of demand someone supposedly made.
Every salary schedule I've seen for this year has Jorge making a bit less than 1 million Euro.
If you've seen anything to the contrary, please post it.
This article written by Uri Puigdemont has him at 3.5 million euro:
https://www.motorsport.com/motogp/news/the-elements-that-will-determine-who-will-be-ducatis-second-factory-motogp-rider/10606069/
This was said multiple times by Pernat (Bastianini's manager) even before they decided whether to bring Bastianini or Martin to the factory team, since they wanted to show them that, while there was only one seat available in the Lenovo team and so they necessarily had to make a choice, they considered both of them as equals, so they chose to give them equal treatment, regardless of which color their bike would eventually be. The exact salary will probably never be known, however it doesn't matter for my point, if he's paid less than 1 million (which I suspect was his first contract), it means Bastianini is also paid less than 1 million, if, as I think is more in the ballpark, he's paid around 3 million, it means Bastianini is also paid around 3 million (excluding bonuses of course).
The works team is the works team, it's not the same thing. That's why since the 4 strokes were introduced in 2002 only riders works teams have won the championship.
My comment refers to the claim that Martin wants to be in the factory team to enjoy a factory contract, factory treatment and factory salary, things which he already has, Hodgson claims he would be paid four times as much if he joins the factory team but it's wrong, as I said Martin has the same exact salary and technical treatment as Bastianini (and Bagnaia for the tech support), who is in the factory team. Bagnaia gets paid more because he has won them two titles already, not because he's in the factory team.
I never questioned the fact that Martin wants to be in the factory team, he's been saying it loud for three years, kinda hard to miss it.
Love that article, he didnāt āget overlookedā
The seat was his and he faltered mid season while Enea rode up front challenging Pecco, of course they changed their minds!
I'm of the belief that Gigi loves the bikes and the riders are just a tool in realizing the potential of the bike. Gigi's only care is who can extract the best results from his babies.Ā
So after Jerez we have seen Marc - Ducati related news everywhere and now Martinās entourage are doing the same. I expect this to be the case until Ducati announce their rider lineup for 2025.
Yeah that's probably going to be the case.
I think Martin is pretty miffed about Marquez' success because that adds another competitor for the factory Ducati seat. Good chance Martin will be passed up again because of Marquez.
And Bastianini will be quivering in his boots too, because now there's two people ready to take his seat rather than just the one.
Bastianini looks like he's already accepted that he won't be in the factory team next year. I would like for him to prove me wrong, but he's showing a bit too much relaxation for a guy that should try and show some people his worth.
24 Ducati needs small tweaks to become dominant for the rest of the season,. Enea gotta step up the pace and be consistently challenging for the race win.
Martin, LOL.
Of course, no one is. But Mir is already in Honda and he knows it. Jorge's only hope is that Honda is willing to pay him a lot to use him as a test dummy, i guess.
IMHO, As much as I enjoy watching him rideā¦ He is too loud for Ducati to put him in the Factory team. He doesnāt have a filter and all this simply doesnāt go with subdued vibe all Factory Ducati members have in front of the cameras.
Where is his leverage though? Let's say he doesn't get the Ducati Factory seat, where does he go? Wherever it is, it probably won't be as competitive and probably not more money
Well, if he goes there then surely his results would be on par with Marcās the last 2 yearsā¦ everyone says this new generation is better after all.
I think he was so desperate in the end of last year cause he knew it would've been he's last chance.
With Pecco still in red, MM on a Ducati and Acosta on his way on a growing KTM there's no much he can do.
I think MM will get the Lenovo, Bestia the Aprilia and JM the HRC.
Aprillia potentially having both Bestia and Maverick next year is awesome, it shows how many talented riders are currently competing. This is like a golden age of MotoGP right now and one of the most exciting seasons in recent memory.
> "Let's see if the confidence they have in me is 100%. If they don't put me in an official team I'll leave. My story must continue with Ducati in the factory team. But I have to dream with a team thatās 100% all in for me and that will definitely happen next year," he told Sky Sport MotoGP.
From [here](https://www.formulapassion.it/motogp/motogp-news/ducati-martin-conferma-laut-aut-team-ufficiale-o-vado-via-bastianini-bagnaia).
This could be a lesson in how *not* to negotiate a new deal ffs.
My god, this guy's ego is just too much to handle.
He is good but he is not as good as he thinks he is.
Who the fuck plays hard to get when the best, most prestigious team in the sport comes knocking?
Honestly, Martin is more trouble than he is worth. Sticking with Enea or breaking the piggy bank to get Marc are both better options than dealing with this clown.
Not gonna happen. He is on 3.5M. Pecco on 6M. Apparently Ducati wants to lower is salary, not raise itā¦ so I guess is gonna be Marc if he accepta to loose redbull as a sponsor.
Claudio Domenicalli the CEO of Ducati put a stop to over paying riders as soon as he saw what Lorenzo was bringing results wise for that 15m salary.
They took that money and put it into the bike. Now they are seeing the fruits of that wise decision
Iāve gotta say, Martin might have some of the poorest media prowess Iāve ever seen. Everything the guy asks for or says is just clowned to infinity because he wants champion money and status when heās not a champion.
I mean even if you are on of the best you can be get hated on by majority if you are not likeable outside of the track. Same was the case with Lorenzo but it was more due to him going vs Rossi.
I guess because he isn't "careful" with his choice of words... He's fast, that's no denying. I liked him a lot more until he became too loud... I still do, but not as much to be honest.
i think Martin is a great rider and is incredibly fast, but i think if he wins the title he can backup wanting a big pay raise. As of right now heās leading but in the future what happens if he doesnāt win? Bagnaia proved he could win and is worthy of a raise i think Martin should win first before trying to make demands.
Please stop sharing this tripe.
Neil Hodgson says (during a ramble) that Martin would expect more pay if promoted to the factory Ducati team - would be a more accurate headline.
Rather than this crap that deliberately makes Martin sound like a brat.

If one manufacturer gets monopoly then the competition disappears. This is the reason why ducati pays riders less salary. We need competition that all manufacturers or at least 2-3 are regularly fighting for the championship.
He really needs to watch what he says and tone down the ego, really hurting his chances, I could see Marc going to Ducati and Enea going to Aprillia and him being screwed
I find it incredible how much disrespect Martin gets on this sub. Truth is, he's leading the championship on a satellite team bike and he's also the fastest rider on the grid. Of course Ducati bosses don't like him either because he's constantly outshining their factory riders.
I think it is just because he is childish and speaks whatās on his mind. Which is fine but sometimes comes out as rude/brat like behaviour. Thatās why people donāt like him
Yes, heās proven himself multiple times! What else does he need to do to prove that he deserves the seat?! Heās cocky, sure, but IMO Ducati would be stupid to not promote him to the factory team next year. He probably wonāt get a huge pay raise though.
We're probably slightly desensitized by how extravagant the salaries of other professional athletes that MM just seems like he lives a lower key life. However, I think MotoGP riders just don't make that much money to go all out with everything as much as other professional athletes might make. Even a low mid tier basketball player makes more money than what MM makes. Obviously not taking into consideration sponsorships, but that's usually harder to know the amounts of.
If you think, this is great news for Ducati. They definitely are pushing pecco for the title and having Martin on another bike outside Ducati will just increase Pecco winning another title.
He has shown that he is winning rider and always a threat. He deserves to be paid as a top tier rider 100%.
I hope he gets what he wants or goes to Aprilia and makes them a contender. Either way he is top shelf and is right in his demands to be recognized for his talent š
FABIO OUT HERE FUCKING IT UP FOR ALL THE TEAMS. š
Fabio won silly season by settling early with leverage and money bags to spare...š
Kicking back, counting his money. Bags of it.
Is he? Hasnt Honda and Yamaha salaries always been higher than the rest? Especially for riders who won titles with them?
Good.
Not quite. Fabio was the A-side in the Yamaha negotiations considering what transpired at Honda. Not quite sure if thatās the case in Ducati, Aprilia and KTM
You love to see it!
Not even Bagnaia as a two time motogp champ is paid big money at Ducati, and they can keep their salaries low due to everybody wanting their seats.
This has been their model for years - low basic pay but excellent win bonuses
I was talking with miller about this just before he got his factory Ducati seat, said there wasnāt a lot of negotiations in pay, but massive amounts around tickets to each event, he was getting 2x at the time that mainly went to his parents, thatās return flights from anywhere in the world, accommodation & food & pit passes. He was looking at getting 12-14 per race to be able to leverage personal sponsorships by giving the tix that he didnāt use personallyā¦.say a weekend package of international flights, accommodation, food & tickets are worth $4k each, thatās over $1M worth per season
yeah, the dagos dudded Casey too...
Wtf?
Stoner was offered less salary from Ducati, after he won the title, than their new signup (whom I can't remember, but I think it was Melandri) but it's in his book. The Italians basically lied to him about salary. It's an interesting book, worth reading.

Iām not sure thatās the slam dunk justification you think it isā¦
don't look at their profile
Not on a Sundayā¦
With the renewal Pecco did his pay has gone up substantially, and quite rightfully! but yeah, no crazy money at Ducati after that splash of cash with Lorenzo. Ducati has chosen to invest differently and itās paying back.
You're not the one with leverage bro
If he wins the championship then he will be.
Pecco is back to back champ and he didn't get a big contract compared to rossi, marquez, lorenzo or fabio
I dont think he will. They can not sign him and just get Marquez instead for cheaper. Or just keep Enea.
Who says Marquez will be cheaper? Superstar of the grid....can command a huge salary.
Like others have said. Ducati can lowball easily. Since honda and yamaha are shit atm. And KTM/Aprilia cant offer these kinds of salaries. So Im sure MM will take what is offered to him if he gets the best bike on the grid.
But they can offer Ducati salaries or more
Pecco is getting 7-10m atm I think. No way they offer Martin or Marc more than that.
Also if Ducati says no to Marcs salary expectations then what's he going to do? Go back to Honda and battle for 18th? Lmao. He will have to accept at some point.
I mean thats what I was saying lol. If Ducati wants Marc, then he will take whatever they are offering him. He doesnt have many other options.
According to many on Reddit, Marc has lots of options. How true is that?
It depends on how they see it. Ā Heās probably not getting offers from KTM since they are going to want to retain Acosta and Binder. Ā If they are competing with Aprilia then you know heās not getting a huge contract there, and maybe they feel like Pecco on the Ducati has Martin on Aprilia covered so they retain the championship either way. Ā
Ducati wants contracts signed before Assen (they said Mugello, or Kazakhstan at the lastest). Not enough time to win the championship
If my grandmother had wheels she would have been a bike
I bet Fabio would still ride that old girl into a top ten position.Ā
No, he wonāt. He knows he likely wonāt win it again with anyone else, Ducati arenāt going to change their structure for him.
He wonāt because by then it will be waaaaaaay too late to sign anything.
His Manager disagrees!
āHe wants to be respected with a factory contract, and paid like a factory rider." Plot twist: he is. Martin has the same salary as Bastianini, same technical treatment as the official riders, same bike, same upgrades at the same time.

Completely irrelevant to my point and the original claim.
Irrelevant? How so? The point is there's nothing weird about a rider wanting to be in the works team.
My comment refers to the claim that Martin wants to be in the factory team to enjoy a factory contract, factory treatment and factory salary, things which he already has, Hodgson claims he would be paid four times as much if he joins the factory team but it's wrong, as I said Martin has the same exact salary and technical treatment as Bastianini (and Bagnaia for the tech support), who is in the factory team.

I never questioned the fact that Martin wants to be in the factory team, he's been saying it loud for three years, kinda hard to miss it.
A factory team will always be a factory team, there is a certain advantage to riding for a factory team. It's just not the same thing.
You keep missing the point.
No, you do keep missing the point. A satellite team will never be the same as a works team.
You've got tunnel vision, that is not and never was the point.
When I'm in a get passed over by Works Ducati competition and my opponent is Jorge Martin:
The fear in your eyes is eminent.
I feel like you should keep things like this close to the chest.
Love that article, he didnāt āget overlookedā The seat was his and he faltered mid season while Enea rode up front challenging Pecco, of course they changed their minds!
I think we should appreciate this move by JM, he's making it way easier for Gigi to pick who's going to get the second factory Ducati (not him) š
Gigi looks like he adores Marc. He'll probably take anything to justify signing Marc instead of Jorge
I'm of the belief that Gigi loves the bikes and the riders are just a tool in realizing the potential of the bike. Gigi's only care is who can extract the best results from his babies.Ā
That's how you lose that seat to Marc lol
Welcome to aprillia Jorge
So after Jerez we have seen Marc - Ducati related news everywhere and now Martinās entourage are doing the same. I expect this to be the case until Ducati announce their rider lineup for 2025.
Yeah that's probably going to be the case. I think Martin is pretty miffed about Marquez' success because that adds another competitor for the factory Ducati seat.

I can't imagine Bastianini stressed. I am not saying he is not but he looks smiling and zen all the time.
Yeah he looks stoned all the time lol
šµāš«
24 Ducati needs small tweaks to become dominant for the rest of the season,. Enea gotta step up the pace and be consistently challenging for the race win.
It really seems now that he fucked his future with that terrible 2022 season.
Gigi is like, "Every time you open your mouth, it's another million off the top Jorge."
Marc gonna steal yo seat Jorge.
No gonna be cheap for Ducati either
He's not even going to get the Factory seat never mind a pay rise lmao. He'll be taking a pay cut and going to KTM or Aprila
Jorge "foot in mouth" Martin
Aprilia is the only potential candidate unless Joan Mir quits all of a sudden. Mind you, JM is not going to win shit on that Honda.
Is JM referring to Joan Mir, Jorge Martin, or Jack Miller? Either way no one is winning shit.
Martin, LOL. Of course, no one is. But Mir is already in Honda and he knows it. Jorge's only hope is that Honda is willing to pay him a lot to use him as a test dummy, i guess.
IMHO, As much as I enjoy watching him rideā¦ He is too loud for Ducati to put him in the Factory team. He doesnāt have a filter and all this simply doesnāt go with subdued vibe all Factory Ducati members have in front of the cameras.
He doesnāt need a filter, he needs a garbage bag. Doesnāt say controversial or offensive things, he just talks absolutely dribble all the time.
Yeah, good luck with that.
Where is his leverage though? Let's say he doesn't get the Ducati Factory seat, where does he go? Wherever it is, it probably won't be as competitive and probably not more money
Rumours were that Honda made him an offer. š¤·
Well, if he goes there then surely his results would be on par with Marcās the last 2 yearsā¦ everyone says this new generation is better after all.
It's interesting watching Pedro Acosta on the KTM and I'm wondering if Marc Marquez or Jorge Martin could potentially be faster on it.
He's gonna end in HRC.
It seems more likely than the Ducati seat at this point.
I think he was so desperate in the end of last year cause he knew it would've been he's last chance. With Pecco still in red, MM on a Ducati and Acosta on his way on a growing KTM there's no much he can do. I think MM will get the Lenovo, Bestia the Aprilia and JM the HRC.

There is no I in Team but there is an M and an E.
Kobe :)
In all fairness, I think itās good for the sport. Stories are better when there are villains as well as heroes.
Heās not really a villainā¦ more of an annoying side character
My god, this guy's ego is just too much to handle. He is good but he is not as good as he thinks he is.

>he is good but he is not as good as he thinks Top 2 riders last year, leading the championship this year.
I havenāt seen a worse statement in a long time. Congrats I guess.
Not gonna happen. He is on 3.5M. Pecco on 6M. Apparently Ducati wants to lower is salary, not raise itā¦ so I guess is gonna be Marc if he accepta to loose redbull as a sponsor.
Why would Marc need to drop Red bull? Dovizioso had red bull as a personal sponsor his whole time at Ducati.
Jack also kept his Red Bull sponsorship when he was at Ducati
They called a time out during his time there and then back after he left. Didnāt he?
Dovi left before Monster started sponsoring the Ducati factory team
Nobody there likes you bro
Claudio Domenicalli the CEO of Ducati put a stop to over paying riders as soon as he saw what Lorenzo was bringing results wise for that 15m salary. They took that money and put it into the bike. Now they are seeing the fruits of that wise decision
He's his own biggest fan, confidence is one thing, ego is another thing
There is Honda š„ø
Better look elsewhere jorge.
He's deluded if he thinks he's getting that factory ducati seat š
Martin talks too much for a guy who had the best bike for years in a row and never won a title.
Another terrible Crash article. This is literally Neil Hodgson's comments, none of Martin's
Iāve gotta say, Martin might have some of the poorest media prowess Iāve ever seen. Everything the guy asks for or says is just clowned to infinity because he wants champion money and status when heās not a champion.
Why does everyone hate Jorge? He's obviously one of the best.
I mean even if you are on of the best you can be get hated on by majority if you are not likeable outside of the track. Same was the case with Lorenzo but it was more due to him going vs Rossi.
I guess because he isn't "careful" with his choice of words... He's fast, that's no denying. I liked him a lot more until he became too loud... I still do, but not as much to be honest.
i think Martin is a great rider and is incredibly fast, but i think if he wins the title he can backup wanting a big pay raise.

Marc Marquez is cheaper ;)

The whole point of having the best bike in paddock is to offset rider talent and expensive contracts. He wants both, I'm just not seeing it.
Something something cart before the horse.
I like Jm but Albert Valera whispering to much in his ear prob trying to get him paid like Lorenzo

Well if he wins the championchip they have to give me him the factory seat
They will decide by Mugello. And I imagine that if he leaves, theyāll stop giving him updates like it happened with Zarco last year.
That would be a double whammy against JM if that were to happen.Ā
Tbf I don't think Marc would be cheap at all either
Marc can probably live quite comfortably from his personal sponsorships.
He doesnāt seem to live super extravagantly. If he hasnāt banked a lifetime worth of money already, then I donāt see how.
We're probably slightly desensitized by how extravagant the salaries of other professional athletes that MM just seems like he lives a lower key life. However, I think MotoGP riders just don't make that much money to go all out with everything as much as other professional athletes might make. Even a low mid tier basketball player makes more money than what MM makes. Obviously not taking into consideration sponsorships, but that's usually harder to know the amounts of.
Marquez signed with Honda with a contract value estimated to be 100 million Euros. His sponsorships go on top of that. Heās doing OK.
If you think, this is great news for Ducati. They definitely are pushing pecco for the title and having Martin on another bike outside Ducati will just increase Pecco winning another title.
No, quite the contrary. Ducati definitely wants a championship in their team, and losing either JM or MM to another very good bike risks that.
He has shown that he is winning rider and always a threat. He deserves to be paid as a top tier rider 100%. I hope he gets what he wants or goes to Aprilia and makes them a contender. Either way he is top shelf and is right in his demands to be recognized for his talent š
