The 5 Best (and 5 Worst) Things About Being a World Cup Mechanic
I love every minute of it. The misadventures are the best part. Been on the circuit for 3 years now and wouldn't trade a minute of it. Coolest feeling in the world being in the start gate with your rider.

The 5 Best (and 5 Worst) Things About Being a World Cup Mechanic
Every team is different so hard to pin a definitive figure. I work two jobs since the winter is basically my off-season from racing. I don't have any expenses when I'm traveling or working races which is nice. Both of my jobs together I'm just under 100k a year. You will be at a huge disadvantage as an American trying to get on a factory team. Most teams require you live in Europe and have euro equivalent of a CDL. It's possible, but you will be limited with opportunities on teams and there is very little turnover.
