Was going to complain how little prize money TdeF riders earn for 3 weeks of work. Compared to the MILLION$ in prize money for big money sports, it just didn't seem worth dedicating your life to cycling, swimming, running or competing in triathlons - unless it's something you want to do. Then I saw what the average professional athlete makes.
After watching the TdeF and considering the length of the cycling season, that would be hardest earned money IMO.
Considering total compensation, sponsors - prizes - etc, who do you think is compensated better: triathlete, swimmer, cyclist, runner?
Indoor Triathlete - I thought I was right, until I realized I was wrong.
