I know that all prize money is shared with the riders and staff, but we all know who won the Tour, but not the team mates.
Such is the nature of the sport.
Cav has a specific skillset that no one else on the DQS team can match. Yes, he is benefitting from the excellent work of his team, but you can't just plug anyone into that position and get the same results. Every other team is looking to beat Cav, and even with the biggest target on his back, he still wins. This is what a champion does.
When Tiger Woods was at the top of the golf world, I heard a comment that really nailed it..."When Tiger goes to a tournament, Tiger is worried about Tiger's game. When every other golfer goes to that same tournament, they are worried about Tiger's game." Right now, in this year's sprint stages, Cav is the Tiger.
