"We Don’t Get Anything!" - The Real Reason Riders Are Leaving MXGP

[@briancastora769]

Now we know why the gates are never full in MXGP

[@DC-ng2db]

Pretty sad when the Monster card girl makes more money than the dude winning the GP. Luongos suck..

[@ReformedSteven]

Got to meet Jorge at SF supercross last season. Super cool guy, shook my daughter’s hand, gave her some stickers and took a photo with us. His mom and dad were there and we got to say hi to them and have a brief conversation. Really nice people. 🙌

When I heard the riders don’t get any prize money few years ago I thought it was a joke lol for what these guys put themselves threw and go threw far as injuries and riding with broken bones and torn ligaments!!! PAY THE DAM RIDERS! You make more than enough and these guys are making you money! Moto and supercross are already under paid as it is compared to other sports it’s time riders start getting what they should. For gods sake it’s the hardest sport on earth no if ans or buts about it! HARDEST SPORT ON EARTH!

Infront, and the Longo family have been ripping the riders off for years and pocketing the cash. it's about time the teams and manufactures band together to and demand a better structure, and pay the riders, who are the show what they are worth.

[@Erik-rp1hi]

All the good MXGP riders need to come to USA.

[@bobbyjohnson1297]

been this way for years. Kind of suprised so many people had no clue.

[@brianmerrill1227]

That is crazy to see spots open on the GP gate.

[@OneSon744]

In my electrician's apprenticeship we called it "get burned while you learn."

[@michaelgrubbs1618]

Yah. The other thing is,,,,, pay to race,,,,, and bring the customer to the show. You pay. Or should they pay. Dudes race to catch themselves on fire. Thats it.

[@joigus]

"Outrageous" does not even begin to desbribe it. Politicians, bureaucrats and business sharks sucking every last euro from families and kids and small businesses with a lot of dreams who put everything they have on the line for a sport they love.

[@louiedangelo3843]

Sad to see how motocross is being destroyed by the greedy son and father loungos and infront, somebody needs to stop them from destroying the sport so many love because of their own personal greed. Sad state in MXGP right now.

[@fiddysent2798]

Because the people running the show are rinsing all the bob deniro out of MXGP. Thats why the greatest MXGP riders go to the states and there are 20 riders on the start in the World Championship. If there aren't 40 riders on the line at the Australian GP then that will show you how much the organisers are ripping the money out of the sport in entry fees. Ruined Motocross

[@androo357]

Remember when supercross pulled from FIM? Starts to make more sense now.

[@zdiver1]

That sounds like when I qualified for the Boston Marathon had to pay my way from Phoenix but the top runners from Kenya were taken care of with airfare rooms and food and cash.

[@rg807]

Marathons pay decent prize money for the top runners. I think both the men's and women's winners get $150K each. GP's without prize money is absurd. Where is the FIM?

[@michaelgrubbs1618]

It used to be 60% usa, 30% euro, 10% other. It is all. and should be based on. all performance. My man Prado go for it

[@Btonasir]

Crazy u can tell all this is true and real man’s was frustrated talking about couldn’t wait to get up outta there to US😂

[@allmtbnzscottbrownhill2896]

The gates in MXGP are never full so clearly they are doing something wrong. Not paying riders is probably part of that. Maybe old Davey Combs isn't to bad lol

[@Billyipod]

Man is so sad, in spain regional championships have at least a minimal reward, so technically the spanish champion makes more money than the mxgp champion, the only thing i can think about, is where can i watch in europe the next ama or sx seasson? 🤣

[@tjroe5190]

Mxgp needs reworked or they will continue to loose top level talent to America's

[@1PADRAIG]

What the Point of calling it A GP anyway. Grand Prix is a name rooted in competitions, alluding to the winner receiving a prize (i.e. money), trophy or honor.

[@barcuda1250]

Thats the biggest scum business ever everyone needs to not support mxgp

[@louiedangelo3843]

When the upper crooks only care about their bank accounts. MXGP needs change if not it will be done in a few years, somebody needs to stand up to the loungos and infronts crooks.

[@zee.___moose941]

Your sick of hearing the bikes 😂😂 it's so true . Bikes are so loud and the loudspeaker alllll dayyyy looooonnnngggg. I go w my brother and we can't even have a conversation all day.

[@kroutmoto]

Pala is still at level zero.

[@RaceIndigo]

Sooo...unfuck the privateers now?

[@GYPSYTALES]

Go back to my original video, and every video after that; which clearly states that Motocross needs privateers. I don't know how many times I have to say that for people to get it. There can be 20 factory riders on every gate of Supercross and there's no way you can fill 80 gates outdoors without privateers. So yes... It's still fuck the privateers in Supercross. Last time I looked, MXGP was motocross.

[@premix3663]

we use to have to sit and watch the women nationals im glad they cancled that
