Not much for many, when riders plus staff amount to about 20 people, on average perhaps being paid 1000-2000 Euro per week, and there's hotel expenses, etc. I wonder how much Lampre paid Horner for riding for them.

Off the top of my head, I would have expected to find Trek higher up the list (to have earned more), Katusha lower down (to have earned less) – obviously I’ve forgotten whatever success Katusha had and falsely attributed to Trek more than they had.

Ignore what the top 5 in the GC and the jersey winners brought in to their respective teams, then AG2R were top earners followed by Astana and Omega, while FDJ were one of the worst 9 earners – good job they had Pinot.

Thanks. Katusha would have come from Kristoff stage wins then the rest from JRod on the climbs. Click my signature link and it gives a breakdown of all the prize money.

I hadn't noted what a truly quiet tour OGE had until then. V interesting, thanks.
