I'm a huge fan of LA too but don't ALL the teams distribute the prize money that way?

Not to diminish your admiration for Lance but that is standard procedure among teams. The winner
usually is paid a very high salary anyway plus there is quite often a bonus for winning built into
his contract.

what are you talking about. kobe bryant is about to give some chick 10 million for one nut and he
already gave his wife about 10 million for letting him get that one nut high in the mountains of
Colorado. now that's high class......

Back off, Boyd, at least the guy wants to know. Comments like that do not encourage people who are
just beginning to get an interest in cycling.

Is that a requirement for enjoying the Tour?

DWJONES... The winner always gives his money to his teammates as a thank you for helping him win.
The winner gets lots of other money and priizes as as result of his win.

expert though i do cycle about 45 miles a week on my kestral sci 200 and have been doing so for the

THIS IS INCORRECT.

Standard Operating Procedure is: the winner always splits his money with his teamates.

What happens at USPS at the TdF is different. Armstrong forgoes his split. Not only that, he doubles
the pot with his own money.

That is not SOP.

Why did I rip you? Perahps you can tell me what was positive and encouraging about your comment?
What's the point?

Goddamm.

There wasn't a completely compelling reason to rip you before, but now there
is.

Runners do not understand cycling, even if they do put an incredible 45 miles a week on the bike.

Don't be a dumbass. Lurk awhile before posting.

But the "old boys network" attitude among hard core cycling fans seems to be part of competitive
cycling. Weeds out the weak, you know.

granted cycling is not my prime sport. i have only been cycling for the

past 5 years where as i have been running competitively(in high school, college and post college)
for the past 37 years. but from what i have learned over the 5 years of cycling we are not talking
about brain surgery when it comes to having a decent understanding the sport. now tell me why do u
feel that runners do not understand cycling? it seems to me that u have something against runners
who also cycle. maybe your problem is that u do not understand running nor those who run distance.
