If you were Francesco Bagnaia, would you pick Aprilia's bike or Yamaha's money?

clutchbucketmoto7mo ago

Always take the bike - he’s getting 3.6-4M per year with bonuses etc + a bunch of money with endorsements outside of his base contract.. makes more endorsement money winning on an Aprilia..

If you're going to pension, than choose the highest salary even though lower salary.. Since your career will end soon. But if you want career improvement, than choose better machinery, even though lower salary, if you're doing good, your salary will rise eventually. So yeah, maybe Martin wants to have early pension.

Edit: If you're going to pension, than choose the highest salary even though having slower machinery.. Since your career will end soon, you'll have more savings for the future. But if you want career improvement, than choose better machinery, even though lower salary, if you're doing good, your salary will rise eventually.

Aprilia

Aprilia any day. Yamaha have shown no signs of positive progress since 2021, whereas Aprilia have consistently improved!

It's hard to be confident in Yamaha given where they are right now, but equally I'm concerned about Aprilia's lack of resources for 2027
