michael_t Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 I thought I read somewhere that GG owed Adam 110K... one could speculate that was 1/2 a years wages(or maybe a full year) pretty hard to guess. Pretty hard to guess what any of my neighbours make little lone a world top trials rider. More important to me would be if people think they are great athletes and give back to the riding community and from all accounts it sure looks like they are and they do !!!

melba26 Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Total guess but several components to pay = basic salary + bonus for position in WTC etc + personal sponsors + appearance money/prizes at indoor trials etc. Bou = 200+100+50+50=£400k Raga = 130+60+50+40=£280k Caby/Fajardo = 100+40+30+30=£200k Dibs = 40+20+10+15=£85k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heffergm Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Random aside: Honda is a 50 billion dollar company. They made something around 5 billion in operating profit last year. Throwing a few 100k at Bou to retain his services, make him happy, and keep winning world titles would be asinine not to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neils on wheels Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Random aside: Honda is a 50 billion dollar company. They made something around 5 billion in operating profit last year. Throwing a few 100k at Bou to retain his services, make him happy, and keep winning world titles would be asinine not to do. But also needless. What would, or could, the second highest paying team pay Bou? Montesa/Honda only need to pay a bit more than that. Bou wants the world titles as much as Honda & they give him the best set up to achieve that. It's not as though WTC riders have manufacturers tripping over themselves in a bidding war. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melba26 Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 My guess probably was dreamland but if Mr Bou is not well paid I am surprised he has not had ago at another sport. Any idea how much appearance/prize money is at Sheffield indoor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I though that was wat he needed in order to finish the season (so transportation, bike parts, catering, minders etc) Edited September 21, 2015 by crazybond700 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people like graham jarbis and other extreme riders got better deals now than during their trial years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perce Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 I think that they get paid in fishy treats, the sport at WR level turned into a circus act years ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomant Posted September 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 (edited) I would think that Bou must be the highest paid trials rider of all time so 500k+ is totally realistic and it wouldn't surprise me if Fujigas was second with something very substantial too. All funded by the wealth of Honda of course.. Other riders like Raga and Cabestany on something like 100 - 200 k year. Edit : I just looked up Honda's financials and they turned over £64.9 Billion - 2014 ! Edited September 24, 2015 by atomant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowhere near 500k, there is a Honda lawnmower championship would that suggest they get paid a chunk out of the 64.9 billion, no, no no, trial is so small and most probably run for a year on less than Hondas f1 hospitality for one race Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
