It IS a world apart , yes, but bear in mind those figures are just for stage finishes and sprints etc. The GC also carries a large-ish prize fund - but they aren't racing for prize money, they are getting paid to be there by the teams. A rider that does well in the TdF ( stage win) can expect a hefty increase in salary for the rest of the season, and probably the rest of his career.
Plus they get invites to all those fake races after the end of the Tour where they get hefty appearance fees

Yes but I was striving for a more colloquial translation rather than a formal one. Ya Hoser.

Yes. They, Omega Pharma, have been doing this for years, initially with Lotto - Silence-Lotto, Davitamon-Lotto, Predictor-Lotto - and now with Leferve's mob.

Reminder!!!
The annual midweek slackers watching of a mountain stage of the TDF is set for Tuesday the 22nd. Stage 16. http://www.letour.fr/le-tour/2014/us/stage-16.html
TDF. Mountains. Beer. Talk utter bollocks face to face instead of on the thread.
Table booked starting at 12:30. They are supposed to be getting back to me on whether they can get ITV4 (although they have done it in the past). The backup plan is to run it off an iPad and stream it on Eurosport.
Table booked for 10 people so if there will be more that would be great to know. Which of you are joining the Slackfest?
Who's this 'Phillippe Gilbert' guy they mention and why does he earn so much?
