quadrajet Posted June 25, 2004 Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 (edited) I apologize if this has been discussed before, but I've had a hard time finding very much (if any) information regarding this topic. I know the top motocrossers get paid a LOT of money for what they do, and I guess rightly so, since they get a TON of TV and magazine coverage. That being said, I'm curious how much a professional trials rider usually makes during the course of a year. I know that there are endorsements and salaries paid by the sponsors, also what kind of money do they win at the National and International trials competitions?

boofont Posted June 25, 2004 Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 Judgeing by the Porsche Dougie had at the SSDT I suspect the wages are a bit better than the average paper round! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toofasttim Posted June 25, 2004 Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 (edited) Good question, I know that when Burgat signed for Fantic (about 20 yrs ago) it was rumoured to be for a six figure sum. Boofont, don't forget that Dougies a canny property developer on the Island, how much is from trials I haven't the foggiest.
