Egalement juste pour info à partager avec tout le monde voici les termes habituels que contient un contrat de pilote pro aux US.

Coté pilote

1. The rider shall ride the team’s brand of motorcycle in the agreed-upon schedule of events (typically the AMA Supercross series and AMA Nationals, plus three other events to be named later).

2. The rider shall ride to win, but if he’s not in position to win a championship, he will ride to benefit any other team member who is in position to win a championship. That means moving over for your teammate (which is illegal under AMA rules).

3. The rider shall keep himself in top physical condition. Should the team question the rider’s physical or mental condition, the rider must submit to an appropriate examination (the team will pay the doctor bills). Failure to take the medical exam is grounds for termination.

4. The rider is required to submit to a drug test with 48 hours notice. The test can include blood and urine samples, but is not limited to those.

5. The rider shall, at all times, conduct himself according to the highest standards of good sportsmanship, social convention, moral conduct and maintain reasonable grooming standards.

6. The rider shall wear apparel approved or provided by the team at all races and personal appearances. Any outside apparel contracts not approved by the team will be considered null and void. Apparel means head-to-toe. All approved clothing will be listed at the start of the season in a contract amendment.

7. The team has sole control of endorsements, sponsorship or licensing of the rider’s name, photograph, signature, likeness, voice and personal characteristics. The team’s ownership takes precedence over any other sponsorship/endorsement/licensing contract.

8. The rider shall not directly or indirectly endorse any product that is in competition with a product promoted or sold by the team. This includes ATVs, motor scooters, personal watercraft, motorcycles, accessories, parts or options sold by the team. (While at Team Honda, Jeremy McGrath appeared in a photo in Jet Ski magazine riding a Yamaha Wave Runner and got in trouble.)

9. The rider will work as an independent test rider in the development of the team’s production and racing motorcycles. Testing will be limited to three days a week (the team promises to give the rider two weeks notice before the testing date).

10. The rider will make himself available to promote the team’s bikes, product line and services for up to 35 days per year. This can include public relations, autograph signing, dealer shows and pre-production work.

Coté employeur

1. The team will pay the rider the agreed-upon amounts.

2. The rider will be allowed to keep any and all prize money.

3. The team agrees to make every effort to provide the rider with a competitive motorcycle.

4. The team will furnish a professional mechanic to maintain and transport the motorcycle to scheduled events. In many cases, the rider can name his own mechanic.

5. The team is not required to provide race support at events not on the agreed-upon schedule of events. The team doesn’t want to have to send its semi-truck, mechanic and works bike to a podunk race in the middle of winter.

6. The team has control over the rider’s time, at least to the extent required to fulfill all public relations, testing and racing obligations.

Apres il y a toutes les closes particulières que peut négocier chaque pilote.
