I looked at AG2R budget (link on same page as Sky link)..
the UCI minimum is 36,000 Euro that they can pay..
but it looks like you are self employed in Sky's case....

Cavendish is reportedly on £2.4m a year so a bit more than Sagan. Froome I've seen quoted at £1.2m.

If Cav is on that kind of dosh he must be the best paid cyclist in the world
I would imagine salary is only part of the equation for top riders, sponsorship, advertising, appearance fees etc... is probably worth a lot more, which makes it even more difficult to work out who is paid the most in the sport. Those kind of fees also mean the top GC riders normally share their race winnings through the team.

Isnt Cav out of contract this year?
He could be looking a mighty big haircut based on current results.

Patrick LeFevre said earlier this year that Tour results would be factored into any contract negotiations. That's a bit unfair when the parcours offers slim pickings for sprinters, but Cav really hasn't looked on his game this week.
