Easy, have them both on performance based contracts with decent but not huge salaries

I don’t think anyone would reasonably expect Davies to be paid more than Deegan at this stage. 
However if Star doesn’t do whatever it takes to keep Davies happy, they’re crazy.

Too early for this. Deegan going to 450s soon. Eventually I think Cole ends up at Kawi 450.

Results. And so far the guy leading the series has had better results. 

That's the way math works. 🧮

No idea why I’m typing a serious reply, but Star has one mission: sell Yamahas


Being that Deegan is out performing everyone else on that team on the track - consistently, year over year, has been loyal to Star, has brought 3 #1 plates home, has put a YZ250F in Monster/Star colors on Fox News, puts Star in the spotlight multiple times a week on a huge YT channel, in a billion ads, and has sold a metric shit-ton of said YZ250Fs…


Deegan.

Deegan.

I’d say at this point in their careers Regan is worth 2-3x more. CD is crushing it and is a great interview but does not have the reach. The  sport is soo small that deegs has more eyes than almost anyone at this point in time.

Davies to HRC for a 450 contract when Hunter decides to hang up the boots. I can dream can’t I?

Deegan is earning way more than Davis at this point. Deegan's Star salary is based on his past and potential results. He has Championships already and will win more in the future. His social media has fuckall to do with his Star base salary as the OP is insinuating.

Deegan's social media will give more clout ($$$) with his side endorsements.

Davis' base salary will go up significantly next year. The kid is 17 and is quite possibly another Jett.

I don't see that happening simply because if Star goes that route, another one of the OEMs will absolutely step up with the huge salary + good bonuses (which may actually happen anyway).

If you took Brian's dick out of your sycophantic mouth you'd see Davies is already a better SX rider and will continue to be going forward - including in 450s. Haiden is a good SX rider but a much better outdoors rider. In terms of contracts, being great at SX is what matters to the teams.

At least give Davies the different colored helmets and boots.

Surely Mitch has already paid a visit to the team accountant right?

Isn't Davies on a multi year deal already?

Yup, his multi year contract was signed with Yamaha when he was still a amateur. So I'd guess his contract would have included two years at Star as a Pro. I'm also guessing his contract will be up at the end of 2026. 

If he keeps doing what he is doing then the offers are going to be stacking up on his desk.

ML may have better insight as to his current deal.
