All the teams must just stand united and demand TV monies. It's totally ridiculous that ASO receives all of it for the TDF. 

 

I did find this part interesting though, " push to require provisionary suspensions in the wake of adverse analytical findings and anti-doping violations"

Obviously it's because Lappies had to backtrack on Froome. But here is the thing, IF the report stating that around 300 cyclist had AFF's against them since 2015 , will there be a peloton left?

Honestly as long as the rules are the same for everyone all the time I don't mind this suggested rule change AFTER the funding issues are sorted out!!

for me the missing link in the financial package is France gov/tourism. They get all this promotion for free, and it is a huge indirect benefit to the country.

do towns pay to have the race go through them? And are there "anchor tenants" who don't pay such as Alp d Huez for instance.

Start and finish towns pay to host the TDF..

 

I wouldn't think that you pay for the TDF just just ride through though..but almal k@k en betaal...and of course grand depart hosting fee is a lot more.
