Respect, dude working hard, hope he gets a chance at a fully sponsored ride or with a factory! Will keep an eye out for him next season more. US prize money is better, (cough cough) I dont know how bad it is in GPs, this info in the US and GPs seems almost impossible to find. Dude better wake up on that one, SMX is better if you qualify, who knows how long that series will even last, but you have to race SX and MX to even make qualifying, realistically esp for a non US rider! The costs alone for a privateer licenses, entry, paying for entry of your mechanic, crew passes etc, that's all before bike, parts, fuel, travel, accommodation, parking, its a pay to play industry how its setup in the US, because you have a pro license, gives you no concessions! Unless you are on a good support team that does all that for you or a factory team. That's just some that's obvious, there is more, I have seen one privateer break down his costs and it was around 1500,- 200 per round and they were close to him in costs to get to the race and he was skimping as best he could with support. Contingency money is available, but when spread overall its still little, better than nothing but something! Just go to the Vital MX forum and search MX payout, last I could find was 22 vs 23, you cant get this info off AMA website or MXSports unless you have some access. MX outdoors 2023! 25k payout per round for 450 class, total. placing in 23. (USD) 1st - $3k, USD 2nd - $2.5k 3rd - $1750 10th - $720USD 20th - $520 For example Jett got 9th in an SX race he got paid in prize money $2900 this is Jett. Note: that's prize money, not his contracts by factory and sponsors, he's the best in the world an 9th pays $2900 in a stadium full of 60,000 plus fans! You think the money is great, people need to wake up, if its great then things are far worse in GPs and the sport in general than we think.
Somebody needs to sign him up
He deserves so much more respect. Big fan
Agreed! Not easy what he is doing.
