According to reports, it's an astonishing €20m per year.

That's a lot of cash to come 2nd in the Tour.
Fckin' Quintana … that creep can roll, man.

    Who's more marketable though - Contador or Schleck?

    I know who I'd want.



















    Poulidor anyone?

    Schleck is ok at the moment, but long term I think he'll be more annoying than anything else. I read today Bert was in Kazakhstan with Vino etc to celebrate what the team had done.

    When I look at Andy I just think "A fool and his money are soon a party"

    I think it is quite clear that Contador wins over Schleck in any domain.

    As for the Astana visit, you mention, it was to an orphange amoungst other things. Merckx is there also - not sure why.

    Aren't you all forgetting something as you write Schleck off? Schleck is 2 years 6 months younger than Contador and getting stronger and more experienced every year.

    Much as I like Gesink, he hasn't finished 2nd in a GT, including once behind a convicted doper. He hasn't won a monument either.

    Nor has he gone into a GT with the full support of his team. Next year that'll change.

    I hope so, I'd love to see a big battle between Contador, Schleck, Gesink, Nibali, etc.

    I was just surprised that people are doubting a rider as talented as Schleck.

    "Contador always gives the maximum possible to in all the races he takes part in," said Riis. "While Andy, as we have seen here in the Vuelta, has a completely different mentality."

    Not so as i can think of a couple of Dauphine editions which he basically used as a training excercise. Nothing wrong with that as such but you would think someone as experienced as Riis wouldnt come out with shi*te like this.

    To be fair, only about twenty seven quid will be spent on the team. The balance is to cover Andy's mini-bar bill.
