RaceRadio reckons Horner climbed faster than Froome this season. He's a GT winner, and could potentially win another next season. If teams and everyone else thought he was too legit to quit, he would be getting that 750k. That sounds cheap for a GT winner, although I don't know much about the relevant salaries.
However I would think given the way World Tour points go, picking him up instantly boosts chances of keeping your World Tour license. That alone makes him money, right?
