As in Formula 1, an outright pays on an outcome known only once the race is over: winner or podium. MotoGP prices usually differ more between operators than football ones, because the volume staked is smaller and bookmakers copy each other less — so comparing matters more here, not less. By the rules, if an entered rider does not start, a bet on his name is normally voided and refunded; but the exact rule is written by the individual operator, and is worth reading before, not after.
