With Sky set to earn 700,000+ Euros will this be a record for a TDF team ?

    Not by a long time trial. LA's last "win", he got ~$5 million - now gone to litigation, of course.

    Yeah, but that was a bonus rather than the team winnings.

    Sky have to be up there - they've had the yellow for about 2 weeks and a bunch of stage wins too. Hard to beat that.
    I'm left handed, if that matters.

    In 1986 the La Vie Claire squad got 1st, 2nd, 4th and 7th in the GC. They also won the mountains, debutant, combination and team classification as well as 6 stages. I think if it was adjusted for inflation, they would top what Sky have won this year.
