MotoGP 2024. Final ranking vs driver salaries for the 2024 season

Francesco Bagnaia stripped of his trophy. The Italian rider, despite his success this Sunday in Barcelona, ​​for the last race of the 2024 MotoGP season, lost his world champion crown to the detriment of the Spaniard, Jorge Martin. This success of the driver of the private team Pramac is first and foremost that of the Italian brand Ducati, which takes the first four places in the championship.

This assumes a form of logic: even with the best pilots in the world and salaries distributed accordingly to their status, there was little or no way to fight fairly. The two French entrants, Fabio Quartaro on Yamaha and Johan Zarco on Honda, are well placed to know this. The second may, however, harbor some regrets at seeing the title fall to Jorge Martin with whom he teamed up at Pramac until last season.

Ducati's coronation inevitably causes differences in the 2024 MotoGP championship

Based on this constant difference produced between the machines, the comparison of the final ranking and the salaries of MotoGP 2024 riders is necessarily unbalanced. Sometimes in very high proportions. The remunerations given are individual estimates, independently of possible contractual renewals during the season. This was particularly the case of the 2021 world champion who, after much hesitation, chose to renew his confidence in Yamaha, to support the manufacturer's progress and perhaps return to the top of the discipline.

In the ranking of the most notable performances, obviously the new champion Jorge Martins, as well as another from Ducati, Enea Bastianini and the young and promising Spanish rookie, Pedro Acosta on the KTM.
