Due to the payment issue. It has not always been like that. That changed when the Italian mafia bought the whole MXGP circuit. It used to be stacked of people wanted to qualify as well, and now there are not even full gates. The price for participating used to be 50€\$ and if you qualified u got your money back, and the better result the better u got payd. Just like in the us. When the mafia bought the circuit riders had to pay 1500€\$ in cash to race. Even in the European championship which is supposed to be the “low budget version” you have to pay almost the same amount in cash to race. It has ruined motocross in Europe unfortunately. Now the only riders who can race is those who are fortunate enough to have parents ore others with deep pockets, just like the rest of the Motorsports 😑
Im 2 minutes into video while making this comment and seeing some comments. People saying they are not paid enough. Well look at this video. He has personal sponsors. Who are they? He is in front of a camera and should have a shirt and a hat on showing his sponsors. If i see privateer sponsors i support them and try and mention how i found there company. Nascar f1 sprint car drag racing every time a driver is in front of a camera they plug there sponsor. Want the sport to grow act accordingly
So mxgp is giving the guys a platform to self promote. There are guys in America that is a top 20 rider and they are great at self promoting themselves and use the racing as a promotion machine and make bank.
Cudos for interviewing one of my countrymen! Go Tønel and Norway
