So i was watching the tour TTT highlights last night and thought about the value of the bikes in each team and sure its over a million bucks between those 9 TT bikes!!! Crazy huh.

 

Just had to let it out, people at my office won't understand this.......

You are righty. Does it really cost that much to make those bikes? (Think Chinese)

[GrantK24]

Never mind all the kit, shoes, helmets, sunnies, support etc. etc. So much money spend on the tour, it's no wonder riders 'dope' ...

[Gambithunt]

Without the cash the tour would be rather boarding.

 

Viva the millions spent.

I'd love to see a Tour team kitted out in exclusively Chinese stuff. No name carbon bikes with the no-name wheels, etc. You can build a completely bike out of what you can find on Alibaba. And with that, Monton no-name clothing, alles. Their budget would probably be 1/10th of what it is now. Granted, I know the "big brands" "pay" the teams to use their stuff. Still, would be nice to see a Chinarello in the right hands stick it to a R60k Pina up a hill.

Imagine a rider winning the tour on a chinarello

Do you think the bike will make a difference when you so fit? Are the chinnarello's so much lighter? stiffer?

 

haha, imagine team argos shimeno taking on leopold treek???? maybe tour de china should be chinese only bikes.... would be funny.

Hi,

I was watching S Cycling the other evening and they had an insert on the team busses. They must cost a small fortune as well.

How about when you guys arrange for the Chinarello's to win a stage -or 2 you can find a nice taxi from SA to ferry the "boys" around.

HaHa

Have a great day
