I have been following this a little. There seems to be some discrepancy and also some rules surrounding this thing. The race in question is apparently going to be a time trial as a whole bunch of pro's are voicing their discontent over racing with a Noob. Also the rules surrounding entry to a Pro Tour team state that the rider must be paid the minimum salary...even if only for one race. The minimum salary is $22,000 USD, so the winner...to be able to ride in the race they are suggesting, must be a member of the team. So on top of the full kit, bike and whatnot, the guy who wins can expect a $22,000 bonus.
