They publish the top earners numbers usually at the end of the season.. Usually a fair few with £600k plus... Which is why it pees off the Poles when their riders get injured riding overseas... Riders will use their signature money at the start of the season, to build not only their Polish kit, but also their GP kit, and their kit for whichever other leagues they race in.. Also. Look at any rehab that needs doing. Invariably it is the Polish team footing the bill, regardless of where the relevant injury happened.... It is big money, big pressure, big jeopardy, big consequences over there... Just how a professional sport should be.. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite the same... You don't have 12,000 screaming fans on your back if you lose, and also don't get the defining races, some of which you may have lost, being shown on the national news' sports round up...

I know i mean the wages put it all in context. Guess thats why Bewley is so adored because he gives it his all every race. Well maybe bar ipswich away last year :). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are getting good gaurenteed money for just turning up though, they don’t have try a leg if they can’t be bothered it’s just very good pocket money.Probably pays their Mechanics and Tuners wages for the season.
