They didn't mention the 15hr days, the 100mph minimum driving across europe trying to meet planes and schedules and the lack of time to take holidays, general being a dogs body, oh, and you'd better be single 'cause you'll be married to your job. Yes, I have experience!

I wouldn't say that the upper salary of £25k is bad actually. Sounds like an interesting opportunity including potential for overseas travel.

If you are allowed to flog the old bits on eBay then you could subsidise that 25k quite a bit.

I know a sponsored rider and he is always being sent new shiny bits.

You're not. and unless you're already a World Cup experienced mech then you're not likely to hit top tier money.
