How will Astana split thier winnings?

[iceaxe]

Normally, the money is pooled and each member gets and equal share with Lance not taking a share. I wonder if he will be so ****ed at contador that he will take a share this year? discuss.

Armstrong earned his share while on Wiggin's wheel.

 

[dwyatt]

i'd say POPOVYCH deserves the biggest share

they sign contracts before the tour

90% goes to the riders
10% to soigneurs, cooks, mechanics and the guy bleaching jb's behind

 

[pedaling squares]

Every member of that team earned his share. Contador should offer a share to Lance, even if he is riding pro bono. It's the right thing to do. An extra share goes to Contador's mechanic, who managed to keep Lance and Johan from cutting the cables.

Lance the winner never took a share as a reward for all the unselfish work his teammates did for him. This is a different case Lance is not the winner so should be entitled to how ever much share he may (or may not) have earned by being an unselfish teammate.

Armstrong earned his share while on Wiggin's wheel.

See above.

Nobody else has really commented on the fact that with 3 leaders 4 to begin with that reduced by 3 the number of workers so that Popo, Haimar, Rast, Paulinho, and the Kazakh kid were all working overtime every day. So all 5 of them deserve a bigger share. They will probably just throw it on the floor and wrestle for it though.

Lance is both a racer and a businessman - tough choice on the Saturday night but we are talking about a team that will employ around a 100 people next year at a cost of ten to twenty million dollars.

I'm not a big Lance fan but I can see his dilema.

That makes things pretty easy. Those who went to the celebration get a share. Those who didn't don't.

Armstrong cheated riders like Vasseur and Andreu out of their share of the team's winnings. It is just if Contador does not give Armstrong a penny, especially after some of the crap he pulled.

Not really a tough choice. He could have waited a day or two to meet with the Radio Shack guys.

how much levi get?

That is very funny!

Actually there is more than just Contador's take. IIRC, 3 Stages, 3rd GC and the team title in addition to 1st GC all get put into the kitty.

How did he cheat Vasseur and Andreu out of their winnings?

Ditto with the announcement....

 

[pickettt]

Does anyone think Lance Armstrong is the least bit concerned about his share of a $400K pot?

 

[Clemson Cycling]

Plus LA finished 3rd which I don't know what pays, but probably more then the domestique's cut of the winner's winnings

its all going into the pot. its not going to be very much per person as contador only gets 600,000 for first overall.

 

[knewcleardaze]

Lanceneeds a share? LoL!

 

[ThisFrenchGuy]

Do Lance get a share? He did come back without a salary, maybe he also rescinded on this.

Despite all the drama, they're all entitled to get their part.

 

[Epicycle]

He never paid them because he didn't like them.

 

[poupou]

The share of Lance should go to Contador's brother for driving him to Annecy ITT
