wc should be at least 100000 for winning the series.
think about all the money that uci get from all the peopleraing in one race.

not sure but think the 10K for the BDS is total prize money for everyone, not just elite winner, may be wrong though

sorry, You seem to have misunderstood my questions.

Can you tell me where it says 10k to the winner of the elite category?

chill out, you always seem to have a go thinking you're better than everyone else! As the guy above you said I misinterpreted it wrongly. Chill out!

I think you misinterpreted it correctly. And Tim was perfectly calm. I'll also note that in this case, he's not better than everyone else but at the very least he's not horribly mistaken.
