They did it once...it was two years ago and was a fundraiser for MS, the disease that Hamilton's foundation raises money to cure and whose victims they support. Tyler's foundation is a non-profit 501c3...you can't profit off of something if you are a non-profit. And when they did it, it was acutally after Tyler had pulled out of the Tour (of course they did not know that he would not be in the race when they scheduled it)
