Who were you with back then. was riding in a british team got bike and travel paid for the cash was to pay for food and b+b s , race entry fees ,physio and massage fees and was paid by my bike supplier a American manufacture who has a team riding its bikes in this years tour, who then was relaunching its brand in the uk after its original distributor in the UK went bust.

getting paid pocket money to ride was normal for a first cat elite riders and it still happens today.
