Hell, look at the Specialized riders. Specialized pays ungodly amounts of money and Grand Tour riders get to choose between the SL3 or the SL3, while classics riders get to choose between the SL3 and the Roubaix.
I mean no disrespect, and I like you was a poster, but considering Look and Ridley sponsored ProTour (and ProConti+ in Cofidis' case) as the majority of pros is narrow.
It's like considering Formula One drivers as the majority of race-car drivers.
Whoa..you need to go back and read the chain my friend..grolby made a statement (playing off that of Eventservices) that pro riders get a training bike and a race bike. I pointed out that it's not true across the board. He agreed. You somehow misinterpret that to mean I was talking about every pro team. Never said that.
