How much is the average team leader salary contract in the Tour de France?
can not really answer this question fully, but here is a response from Robert Hunter "must train and race more. Cycling is not something you can do one day and then win the next.

"Http: / / www.thetimes.co.za/PrintEdition/Sport/Article.aspx?id=537459 I do not think many cyclists get that amount of money. in fact the equipment budgets are small for a lot of teams around 5,000,000 or € 6 million Exceptions are katusha team (Russians spend money in large quantities) and Columbia team (but get the results for the money), there was an article in the February issue 1999, Cyclse Sport (10 years old so the numbers are the date) which states that the largest contract is £ 1,350,000. the Tour de France winner gets a contract £ 1,000,000. possible winner receives £ 900,000. regular tour de France mountain stage winner of £ 600,000, TDF stage winner £ 350,000 regular, ordinary maximum TDF 5, but unlikely winner of £ 300,000 of course, the figures are in sterling, while cyclists get euros and euro-sterling exchange rate has changed much since then, Lance Armstrong is a salary of all, I think (or hope is $ 1) that helps a little
