Hmm second best earning? I dont think he will make more than Tim or Jeffrey
Meanwhile, Febvre just keeps motoring along on the Kawi and wondering what all the fuss is about and why that Prado kid is such a pussy.
Someone from the inner circle told me its around two million, that is more than Jeffrey at HRC if the rumors about his salary are correct. At the end he will probably make more due to the nice bonuses, but its crazy how far Louis Vosters went to get Maxime Renaux to his team.
That's a lot of money for someone who can barely ride in the top5 and only stands out because of his crashes.....,he should have kept coldenhof must better results for less money

Pussy's can't win in lommel....
That’s what I heard as well. I think that 959 will be the best payed rider for 2026 if he moves to Vosters.
Just don't forget he will have to redeem his contract with Yamaha for 2026...
I think that Vosters will pay for that right? It’s around a million or so?
Still not sure if it’s a good decision for Renaux, money wise it’s a good upgrade probably.
But you also hear that valin is leaving Kawasaki, so we can’t take you serious.
Renaux is a bit of mystery. So much potential but it just clicks on rare occasions, as in first race in Argentina. Consistency is not his strength as he’s always ends up crashing or get in other troubles. I don’t see that a ride at Ducati will be the right solution but if the salary rumour is true it will be nice for him.
Good for maxime if he is going to get that type of money , having AC on his side will be a plus for him and the development of the bike. Time will tell but yeah maxime get that bag upfront.
Old news.
Not so "old". Renaux's future is uncertain between Yamaha and Ducati for a few weeks now.
Have the people that think the current KX450 is an un-rideable pile of crap actually ridden the stock bike? I have and it’s a very good bike. chassis is actually excellent. Is the belief that it gets worse in the hands of a profession race team? Give me a break.
I agree with you, as those are all rumours and not confirmed until official press release. But if I hear something and someone else as well, then there is probably more then just a simply story around the paddock about Renaux.
Valin is still strange to my eyes, doesn’t he have a 2-year deal with KRT? Or was it a 1 year with option or something? Anyone knows?
Already done mid august.
Febvre still has a REEEEEEEED BUUUUUUUUUUUTT after so many motos and GPs and seasons where Prado kicked his ass.
No matter how much he's paid, poor Maxime.
Pit Row
Whats going on between Vosters and Coldenhoff?
Wonder why he is going balls out to get Renaux, and let The Hoff slip away after a season like this.
That's not what I've been told. But you could be right, who knows...
Valin is under contract with Kawasaki for 2026 season.
Coldenhoff's priority, a few weeks ago, was to find a deal in USA to run the Great Outdoors serie in 2026... MXGP championship wasn't his first choice for next year, then.
I’m just giving you a hard time man. But as far as I know, he’s signed with kawi. Not sure if it was a renew or a 2 year deal
And imagine how must that feel after being beaten for a few seasons by Prado... Not just for Febvre, but other guys as well.
I would guess Coldenhoff doesnt want to ride the Ducati at any price, and no other teams have a spot.
Vosters and Coldenhoff have a lot of respect for each other (that is what I hear) but know each other weaknesses. Vosters will do everything to make this Ducati story a succesfull story. Coldenhoff on his part knows that he always needs a few months, sometimes half a season to get on par with a new bike or sometimes even with a new generation of bike from the same manufacturer. Put this together and both know their story ends. If Renaux needs half a season, no problem, he becomes 26 next year and they will call it a building year. But what if you lose half a season with a 35 year old Coldenhoff?
@Renner153 Are there rumors in the USA about the second MXGP rider at Yamaha? Because I heard that Monster would like to have an American, but that seems a bit unrealistic if they also want someone who's capable of riding top 5 on a 450...
I have not heard. I don’t have much contact with the Yamaha team. I couldn’t imagine anyone from over here that could be a top 5 rider.
Time to call Ty up.
I dont know Valins deal. Only thing i can add is that it would not be a strong move by kawa to put a rookie on a factory mx2 bike and then not have control over the rookies next contract year('s). So i would be surprised if Valin is free for next year.
What is up with Max Werner and what is he going to do in 26?
3rd to reisulis and Valin in emx125, rookie year top 10 in emx250 with top 3 finish and this year now 5+ sec of the pace?
