Hmm, I don't know if the entry fees are a big problem. I';ve mentioned before the costs of closing roads and getting traffic police involvement and I get the idea this is where a lot of the money goes. I'd hat to know what the 94.7 is going to cost for full road closure. <br /><br />I will agree though that there needs to be more sponsorship of the sport here. Whether or not it comes from the entry fees or just from the lottery (Ha Ha, like anyone is going to see that money) or gov't. The top guys need to have the freedom to train and spend all their time on cycling in order to succeed. That really is one of the biggest features of Aussie sport. Academy's for everything. I hear that a while back they decided they wanted a formula one world champion and so just started throwing money at the most talented young drivers...

the problem with cycling is you cant chage an entry fee for people watching like you can with soccer and other sports like that.....imagine how much the TDF would make if they could charge a 'gate fee'<br /><br />cheers
