Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I'd build a velodrome in my home town and have a stable of bikes. A Moots Ti, a Carbon Fiber (probably that 10k Cannondale) bike, a Speed Concept with Di2, and other stuff....

I think he lives in Germany now. But you could afford to look for him in various places in Europe had you won.

I would probably get an EPS Madone and then work on the capability to make carbon frames myself. I've wanted to do that since 1980 or so.

I'm quite content with my two bikes. I would probably add a cyclocross and a Mtb. Nothing special I guess. At $400,000,000 after taxes, a $20k bike is worth the same as a $5k bike. Neither would make a dent in my net worth and there's nothing I wouldn't be able to buy.

so it goes back to buy what fits best.

I'd buy the same bike 5 times, so I could have different wheelsets on it without having to change the wheels.
