Plus media licences, plus £25 registration fee
I understand lost dot were charging £50 per sponsor!
You'll understand the costs of putting on these events better than me but it does seem that the prices have gone up faster than inflation.
I don't think people who can afford to race are too price sensitive so there seem to be plenty of riders. And the TCR is probably still cheap compared to an iron man.
But it's quite a change from the early days of the TCR when I can't remember what the entry cost but it was probably less than half of current levels. At current prices they are getting £150k in entries, plus media licences and whatever the sponsors might put in. It seems like a lot of money to organise a bike ride!

There's six people on the lost dot Homepage.
What I know about costs of running a business that doesn't seem too high.
No idea how much work all of it actually is, and what the sponsors contribute.But they have a pretty full on job for the duration of the race, that's a given.

I'm sure they've costs no doubt about that. Just seems a lot for a 'grassroots' event. I couldn't afford to do it now.
I don't begrudge anyone working hard and making money, I'm trying to do it. To be clear.
