You cant compare the 2 sports on how finances are contributed and how the governing bodies run things. there a lot of variables that come in when working on costs.

Unfortunately

 

 

You can't market Cycling the same way they do other sports.

 

Kid likes Messi..pop into the local sports shop buy a shirt... kid likes Sagan. ...Erm. .you can't even buy a Bora t-shirt anywhere but online. .. and it's all wrong wearing a team cycling shirt... not that you could find one.

 

Kid likes Nadal..pop to the local sports shop buy his racket. ..yeah.. not going to buy my kids a Sagan replica Bike. .. even if I could find one.

 

I do however like Haribo sweets..but he isn't endorsed by them..

True, but when comparing athletes earnings, its interesting to see the stark differences. 

 

The funding side of cycling seems to be a real spiders web with sponsors/tv coverage monies/ winnings etc. Needs its own thread :P

It was Contador, he tested positive for being a Hasbeen. His B sample returned the same result.
