It's actually the other round - Salaries eat up a bigger portion of the budget in a women's team which leaves less money to spend on ancillary benefits and therefore development.

According to the previous post:

Average budget of a Women's WT team is €3.8 million
Average salary of a Women's cyclist is €85K

So, 15-person team worth €1.275 m salary. 33% of the budget.


Average budget of a Men's WT team is €28 million
Average salary of a Men's cyclist is €449K

30-man team worth €13,47m salary. 48% of the budget, So it's possible that the € numbers in the tweet don't fully reflect reality.

The increased minimum salaries for WWT teams, and the fact they now have more riders than previously, have definitely meant that they require larger budgets than before.
