In a bid to support my conspiracy theory concerning the MotoGP this weekend, I have been trying to find estimates for rider value to the team by the way of merchandising sales and increased sponsorship.
Has anyone seen any figures? I would be surprised if no one had ever compiled a list comparing rider financial value, away from actual race results.

Good post. This is the true VR46, hard headed ruthless and well connected in the "Business end of things" He has an influence on the grid and off it in the back room. Arguably single handed injected some Fatto sen sazione into Moto Gp over the years, typical Mafiosa style he was" Evasione Fis Cale" floating off the Riminni coast with Ucchio whilst the chancellor thought he was living in london.
He is a very powerful guy in the MC world, no one wants to cross him as the recent fall out suggests cos they do not want to bite the hand that feeds them. No race direction, none of them had the balls to stand up and say (apart from Matt Oxley) well actually you did kick out at young MM.
I respect him yet loathe him cos he can not con me with his appy ploy, he would not like me like he does not give a shxt for any human being especially those who were suckers to adore him and make him rich. He is single minded, win at all costs very successful.
So were Josef and Adolf
Thankfully I have not made him rich buying any of his gay shxte. I wish him all the best and hope Ucchio can console him well after the Spanish Inquisition

Cannot believe that a rant against Rossi has those two names in it
We reached Godwin's law pretty quickly on this one.

This was meant as an attempt at proper discussion rather than a who did or didn't kick / Harrass who.
Rossi has a huge following. It did not dissipate, even when he wasn't winning. I have not seen any figures for how much his 'brand' is worth to a team, though they must exist.
Before Marquez no one could match him, no matter how many flags were planted. Had Rossi gone to WSB say 5 years ago I have no doubt that WBS would be the premier class and MotoGP would be some struggling support series.
