Espargaro: MotoGP must improve contract respect between teams and riders
Jorge Martin of Pramac Racing commented on the recent contract discussions in MotoGP, saying that contracts are often broken by the teams, not the riders. He believes that if both parties agree to mutually terminate a contract, like Marc Marquez and Honda did, it can be a positive thing. However, he also highlighted instances where teams have broken contracts due to a rider’s poor performance or injury, which he believes is unfair. To prevent this, he suggests that there should be better protection for riders’ contracts in MotoGP, either through the International Race Teams’ Association (IRTA) or the formation of a riders’ association similar to F1’s GPDA. Ultimately, he emphasizes the importance of respecting contracts in the sport.
