No problems for pro races like ToC. But what could have been $20K will now be $1,000K. Salary will be adjusted. This is not unlike salary being adjusted when tips go away.

In the USA that will have a large affect on the semi-pro (Pro races by folks that have day jobs). I expect we may see an effect on Redlands.
Tour of Utah, and Tour of CO have no women's fields that I know of.
How exactly do you NOT think giving a woman $100 for a race win, while giving a man $500 for a win is sexist??
