And the rest !

I don’t know exact figures but I know it’s £1,500 minimum for a point 😅 probably closer to £2,000 but I was being cautious 😂

Sportowefakty are saying 240,000zl which roughly is £48,000 which is £2400 a point. I know you have to take what Sportowefakty write with a pinch of salt, but i reckon they are not far off with that figure. A mind boggling sum !

Which when you break it down into it’s simplistic terms is £6850 per minute, not sure I’d get out of bed for that to be honest 😂

 thats crazy.

Par for the Polish course...

Hence they are very protective of "their" riders...

They usually publish the salaries of the top ten riders at the end of the season...

Many, many 100,000 Euro is the norm....

cant understand why you would want to risk it in uk when you can earn that much, just riding in Poland.

I agree, however, you can do testing without too much risk or consequence, (you are never getting dropped are you?), and beating others will always be a positive which improves confidence...

And, for the top lads, it is a pretty "easy" (as much as it can be for a Speedway rider), very decent return for six months work..

how much you recon its cost him while injured. Just watched a interview with leigh Adams he recons a reason he didn't win a world title could of been riding in too many meetings. ie chasing the money.

Because believe it or not some riders actually do enjoy racing their bikes, winning is very addictive, it doesn’t matter who,when, where or how nobody really does speedway just for the money because if you don’t love it you won’t earn any money at it

i do fully understand that, i used to ride myself, but never made any money. and back in the day for every 20 of me probably only 5 made a living out of it.and when i mean a living they would still need a job in the winter. those in Doyles position probably 200 + full time . my point was he's near end of his career, and he might last longer with not as many meetings. but still make enough money, we all know your only a split second from serious injury. i suppose its all about the odds. and let me tell you you have to love it more when you dont make any money, and still do it.
