Sings4Speedway Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Its not unreasonable to think a top PL rider will get around 400 points a season including bonus points. Whilst there are some on £100+ per point most are not however £50 per point would give 20k and most are going to be well north of that. There is the dreaded expenses to deduct but when you consider tyres, fuel (bike & van), kevlars are covered it leave bike maintenance to be covered from wages/any additional sponsorship. Obviously there are plenty of other permutations to the above as its a very basic model (and ignoring out of season wages earnt) but i see very few PL riders struggling yet all too often many are still happy to wave the begging bowl about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their accountant will take care of the dreaded expenses no doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
