but unfortunately in this period I have one race per weekend

so it's really difficult

work on the videos, so while that's work-in-progess

I'll give you this one which is

just as interesting

given the results on the costs to get to Formula 1

and of course you asked me

you gave us the video on the costs to get to Formula 1 and you don't give us the video on the costs to get to motogp?

so, here we are. I like this curiosity of yours

because for those in the industry

it's just something you know, but apparently

many people don't know this background

cars is a sport exclusively for very rich people

while bikes, despite being expensive too,

are more affordable

first of all because there's a bit more

meritocracy, just a bit I said

don't get started with the comments now,

but let's analize in detail the costs. Let me start by saying

each rider can have his own path career

there is not a definite growth towards superbikes or motogp that's written in Pdor's stones

if you don't know who Pdor is

I'm sorry, I don't know what to say

who dares

interrupt the sleep of pdor?

son of Kmer

of the Istàr tribe

of the desolate plain of the Kfmir, one of the last seven sages

Bvùr, Ganèr, Astafarìn, Tutun, e Tarìn

GOT IT?

We were saying. Careers can have different

scenarios, so a rider can

for example arrive in motogp doing supersport 600 stock 1000 motogp

instead of

doing moto 3 moto2 and motogp

as for example it was for petrucci years ago that he got second

in stock 1000

he switched to Sacchi's iodaracing

then after two years of hell in that team

he went to pramac and managed to get seen

having said this, let's pretend we are 8-9 year old boys

who want to start and want to climb to the top to get to motogp

we start our career from the Italian minibike championship.

the cost for a season is around 10-13 thousand euro

It always depends on the trips, the tests, and everything else

but let's say that's the cost

depends how young we start

but in that category you stay up to 12-13 years old

so since we started when we

were 8, by the age of 12

we'll have spent €50.000

this I'll show you now is an example of Italian championship

minibike

Once we turn 12 have to look around and

decide which high-tire bike we want

the choices are: pre- moto 3,

or supersports 300

my humble advice is that if you have the means

it's best to go on the pre-moto 3,

because even though it is true that the supersport 300 allows you to ride with less money

than the pre moto3 and moto3,

but it is also true that it is a very ignorant bike

that does not absolutely prepare you to switch to a 600

or a 1000

because there are people

who did this jump. It implies a very unnatural driving

which will make the young man start

from scratch once he gets onboard a

bigger bike. Instead, the aim of the lower categories

is to train the young men

so they are ready when they'll get onboard a bigger bike

taking the cue from what they learned before

if from pre moto 3 and moto 3 you learn a great

riding fluidity, and great stretching,

along with a strong driving sensibility,

because these are race bikes

which make you feel what's going on under the tires,

this doesn't happen with the supersports 300

anyway, back to us. let's pretend

we are luck and have a good budget to get on board a

pre moto 3 at the Civ

I know someone is now gonna say there are the minigp before

but I believe that's a step that can be skipped

and that's pointless

EXAMPLE OF PREMOTO 3

"race #3 from the Mugello

the titles are already assigned, at round 9

here at the Mugello, the saturday race,

the title of the two-stroke 125

for Leonardo Tacini

the cost inside a top team is around

€50-60k per season

you're inside the civ, so

it's a good window, but still

it's a lot of money

you have to start to bring home good results, 1) because

you have to lower the costs and the necessary budget

2) to find sponsors

in these category the age is from 12/13

to 15. Let's say that

we stay here from the age of 13 to 15. This translates into

€160k

once we turn 16 we start to

do things seriously. We have to decide if we want to

go to superspors 600

and turn towards the world championship, superbike,

or italian level,

but there's little chance to go anywhere,

or moto3,

but since we're analyzing the path towards

motogp, we're gonna keep going down this road

so

we decide to enter moto3,

this is an example of the italian moto3

the costs here with a top team

are about €100-110-120k

I know. It's starting to get expensive

in terms of costs. But we have to say that

the winner of the Italian moto3

if he's lucky and it's a good year where

there are opportunities open at the world championship

like spots and saddles, he could find something

cheap, or free

but sometimes, to accept situations

for free, you go into teams that

unfortunately turn out to be not fit at the world championship

and after one year

no one will remember the rider

because unfortunately this is a sport where we recall

only the last race

and we forget how fast one guy was the year before

so from the Italian moto3

at 18, we go towards

the world championship

let's assume we're not lucky and have to pay

just to keep talking about the costs, one saddle

at the world championship, in a good team,

for a rider with few results but nothing too great,

can cost from €250k to

€300k, per season

Yeah. It's getting

pretty serious

At this point we have say that

if we're good and we get

at the top 4 or 5 at the world championship

the next year

we'll have a much better contract

or we might even get paid

because unlike the cars, where no matter what

you just pay, always, aside from

a few spots in F1, in the world categories, when

you show your worth, and you're in the top

4/5, of your own category,

at world level, you start to earn

some money

the biggest contracts

that there are, and have been,

in moto3/moto 2,

in the lower category of motogp

get to €200-250k

but again, we're doing a video on the costs,

so let's pretend we're players

and we want to continue our adventure

despite not having great results

the world moto3

is known to all, I believe, but anyway,

if you don't, here's an example

After having spent a few years in moto3,

spending €300k each season, we decide to go

to moto2, again, not supported by our results

to keep talking about the costs

because if you have the merit, in moto2,

you can go for free,

or by getting paid

here's an example of world moto2

we do our two years here

so get to 22/23 years old

where to run in this championship

we spend about

€300-350k

the costs are very similar

to the moto3, also because the top teams

those in the top 3, don't even consider

those who pay, but just those with talent

so even if you wanna pay, it'd be

very hard 'cause you wouldn't be taken in

at this point we're 23. Let's recap

and see what the total is

From 8-12,

€10.000 per season, for minibikes €50.000

From 13-15, premoto 3,

about €60.000 per season,

total: €180.000. From 16-17 Italian moto3,

about €110.000 per season, so for 2 seasons

it €220.000

3 years of world moto 3,

about €290.000

so let's say about

€850.000 for 3 years

from 21-22, 2 years in

moto2,

about €300-330.000 per season

so that's about €600.000 for 2 years

Super Total: €1.900.000

for sure it's not €6.250.000

of the cars, that we saw last time but still

as Maccio Capatonda would say "sò soldi"

give me a loan

tell me how much you need

€66/67

that's a very low amount!

it's money!

Anyway, we're close to our destination

the motogp. But again, we don't want to

get into it with the merit

but understanding the costs. Let's say we want to

do a motogp season to treat ourself

it would cost us about

€600-620.000

€650.000. We can't know precisely

but rumours have it

that one of those paying seats

costs about that amount

so between €600-650.000

there's no need to say who are the riders

because we see them every year

the riders who bought their spot

although sometimes the spot

was obtained not thanks to the results

there are positive surprises, like Abraham

who despite not so great successes

does better than many others. Great, I hope I was able to solve

some of your doubts. Like I said before

there are other paths,

aside from this path towards the motogp

you can go through the stock 1000,

the supersport 600 to then go to moto2, to then go

to motogp, like Morbidelli did back in the days

when the stock 600 was still around, or like

Petrucci did, who did stock 1000 and motogp

you have to see the opportunities that arise

the value for money and

many other variables. I hope you liked this video
