Riders are paid in 12 equal monthly installments, plus bonuses for winning and championships, and travel reimbursements. When a manufacturer sponsors you, you’re part of their racing team, and the salaries are split between the entire team. Luckily, there are other sources for pro riders to create an income for themselves.
If a racer consistently falls to the lower spots, they often have other jobs to support their racing passion. Therefore, to earn top dollar, a rider must place 1st or at least 2nd. If there are 22 racers, the last spot racer will receive $1,415 for that race. The 2nd spot racer gets $6,000, and the rest get a smaller amount, which decreases as it goes down to the last spot. For example, if the total purse is worth $66,950, the winning racer gets $12,000 of that purse as the first prize.
