Is the budget that big of a differentiation?

Tour de France team budgets (estimated 2016)
Team Sky – €35m
Katusha – €32m
BMC – €28m

Well it's how they're spending it then - because as @andyp has said, Sky's budget is obviously focussed towards building a team where your domestiques are better than most teams' leaders.

Fuck knows where the other teams' money is going - trying to establish a setup like the one Sky have had for years?

Perhaps they're still reaping the benefits of a few years spending (2010 onwards?) where it was much bigger than the rest of the teams?

Other teams boosting spending to equivalent levels won't immediately catch them up.
