      Such small amounts are an insult to the riders participating in the tour considering their tremendous efforts through 21 stages of grueling racing. If there is a petition to increase these monies – I will be pleased to participate.

    I would bet the bureaucrats who run the tour get more money than the guys who busted their balls to compete (resulting in such a good tour), get so little.
