  • Pol Espargaro and Bradley Smith left Tech3 to join new team KTM Red Bull where both signed 2 year deals earning them a reported $1 million a year.

Today we take a look at the 2017 lineup of MotoGP and the salary contracts riders have with their respective MotoGP teams. most of the data is taken for trusted sources like Forbes, Guardian, BBC and CNN. Following table shows the MotoGP riders from 2017 and their salaries plus endorsement deals (if any)

( These are yearly salaries and apart from the top 4 riders most of other riders get a very low basic salary but they have good bonuses of winning races, just like the one Dani Pedrosa signed with Honda where he took a pay cut but can earn alot more by winning races. While some riders pay their way to race in MotoGP, for example Karel Abraham who is likely to self fund his season with Aspar)
