Did any of these salaries surprise you? 💸
I get it, your sites name is Global Road racing cycling news.😢
Micheal Jordan's career earnings was ~ 3.75 Billion US dollars. I remember an article where they broke his pay down to $$$/minute and it was ridiculous.
#CaptionCompetition “wait why am I the 3rd wheel..”
Saudi money for an over the hill player.
They don't get paid nearly enough compared to American basketball clowns.
When you get pay that kind of money regardless, EPO and blood transfusions.
You guys know how it works
No surprise. Two words: TV Revenue
NFL: $7.2b
MLB: $1.5b
NBA: $2.6b
NHL: $600m
MSL: $90m
CFL: $40m
🚴: $??
Sponsorship and endorsement revenue are highly correlated with TV Revenue.
The highest-paid athletes earn salaries. In practice, it's more like revenue-sharing. Do what you love and you'll never…
These two are your biggest idiots
We're in the UK…. as you are ! What happened to the GB£ ???
I typically have a couple of mineral waters while watching. 🙂
Not enough for all the sacrifices they make and how dangerous the sport is compared to others
Wait, what? You guys rehearse this? Kind of ruins the "first take" vibe 😀
And note, John Rahm only gets paid to win…that isn't a problem for Tadej but it is a unique part of golf, win or go broke.
I can't believe Cristiano Ronaldo gets paid 260 million just for kicking a ball around for 90 minutes. TdF is much harder.
CAPTION: Bini says "that jersey is really not your colour jonas, you've always looked better in yellow" Jonas smiles , Pogi shakes head
It would be interesting to know how much money, Astana have spent on project "Cavs record". Great publicity for them . Without Cav , it would be Astana who?
Please don‘t do the show when your are that sick. I can‘t listen to someone who is almost falling of the chair. Rest up Connor! 👐🏻
#caption competition:- Jonas:- Green lantern together we can defeat yellow. Biniam:- Hulk smash. Tadej :- Hey guys I'm stood right here .
CAPTION: Vingegard:"Hey Bini! gotta team up to beat the salary of this guy."
Pogi couldnt win without his team- the DOMESTIQUE- pay them well!
Magnus Cort is epic. First, he has the best stache. Then it is blue!! Let’s see a history of the best facial hair ever! Dan should be a top contender!
new emojis haha
Caption. Super heros unite! The Mighty Morphin Pogacar Riders.
Caption comp:
Jonas: “thought I would wear my yellow jacket”
Bini: 🤛
Pog: 😒
8:05 that could be Cycling Highlights 🤣. That guy has an unusual hate towards pro cyclists. His baseless accusations against pro cyclists are a classic case of sour grapes and projection. He's projecting his own insecurities and failed dreams onto them, and his criticisms are driven by confirmation bias and envy rather than any real evidence.
Surprised about Pogacar's salary? Hm… somewhat maybe. Surprised about the massive gap between male and female riders? Not at all, unfortunately.
caption: Pog "hey Bini, you do know the visma lease-a-bike vest isnt the yellow jersey right? I'm winning the race, not Jonas!"
I want to know why Dan isn't in the TDF breakaway? I missed his dry humor. I don't like the chemistry with current group with Dani. (No offense to her). I like her on women race, not for men's race. l missed the banter between Robbie, Adam, Dan and Orla.
I thought Boston Celtics' Jayson Tatum's new 320M for 5years contract was top of the tier list.
Underpaid.
#captioncontest "The only way we are gonna beat Pogacar – Wonder twin powers activate…Form of…who we kidding? That won't work"
Speaking of getting paid for cycling could I ask Conor a question please.
You retired from pro cycling at a relatively young age, was that pure economics in that long term you could make more money as a presenter or had you lost the desire for the life of a pro? Thanks
I’m looking forward to Zwift Academy again this year- not aiming to win a pro contract mind 😉 I’m no but I love Zwift!
It would be great if the GCN presenters made that kind of money so they wouldn't have to wear those ugly cheap looking T-shirts.
