@ Lidl Racer: Du weisst sicher besser als ich, dass der Großteil der Team TBB Athleten ganz ordentlich dafür löhnen, im Team dabei sein zu dürfen und allenfalls Material gestelle bekommen. Dieses "Team" ist noch weniger "Team" als der ganze Rest es war. Da kann man sich nämlich reinkaufen.

Nein, das weiß ich nicht. Quelle?

Das konkreteste, das ich bisher zu Finanzen bei TBB gelesen habe ist dies:

At the time of Wellington’s departure, TBB had a handful of sponsors, including bike company Cervélo. But none of the marketing agreements included bonus structures that would allow the team to pay its athletes up to market value, should they win a title. Alex Bok, the Dutchman who owns The Bicycle Boutique (TBB) bicycle stores and co-owns the team with Sutton, says the team’s new sponsorship agreements have incentive plans to pay the athletes based on their market value. Caroline Steffen, Bok says, will earn approximately $150,000 a year as a base salary—with winnings and prize money pushing that number substantially higher.

“Brett told me we had to double the budget for this year because he doesn’t want to lose athletes,” Bok said. “We will get that done.”

But Bok says the goal of the team is to retain its collection of both top-end and up-and-coming professionals. Just having stars, Bok says, does not give age-group triathletes an incentive to follow the squad. In July he unveiled a dealer affiliate program that would allow the lesser athletes to boost their salaries by referring age groupers to purchase sponsored product.

“We could have another million in sponsorship if we just kept the top six athletes and sent everybody else home,” Bok said. “That’s not our structure.”

Demnach scheinen auch "lesser athletes" bezahlt zu werden.

Etwas anderes ist, dass man sich inzwischen auch als Jederman von TBB coachen lassen kann. Das kostet natürlich, wie auch z.B. hier bei Arne.

Ach ja, wer Preisgelder gewinnt, zahlt Erfolgsprämien an Sutton:

Submission to the Sutton school of training isn’t the only requirement for TBB athletes. They pledge 20 percent of the winnings from their top-three finishes to their coach.

Macht Sinn und so steht es auch schon in Chrissies Buch.
PS: Damals noch als mündliche Vereinbarung und Sutton war etwas paranoid, dass er die Kohle nicht bekommen würde.
