When Lightspeed sponsored Lotto last year, it cost Lightspeed only something like 50 bikes. This is because Lotto didn't have a bunch of superstars. Reportedly, super teams like Mapei were asking a million $ in addition to bikes. Perhaps the closest thing we have now as a neo-retro rider would be Team E-Ritchey's Jonathon Page. (sp?)
