17. Garmin-Sharp 25 360 €
18. Sky 24 240 €
19. Bretagne-Séché 20 600 €
20. Cofidis 18 540 €
21. Orica-GreenEdge 15 610 €
22. Lampre-Merida 9 830 €
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.
