He complained about other teams not working at Flanders after Terpstra went.  Got me thinking - what does Sagan get paid vs what the top 4 of Q-S get paid?  (Terpstra, Gilbert, Lampaerts and Viviani.)  It seems Sagan has Oss when the going gets tough and no others.   And sending Oss up the road just desn't care people.

Granted, this is just the Spring Classics, not the big Tours.  Still, one team had racked up most of the TV coverage and conversation

Is there a source where we can see the contracts of the riders?  (Really shouldn't be, but way too much public knowledge is the way we function now.)  I'm sure Q-S' budget is way beyond Bora's but how many more good teammates could Sagen attract if he was willing to take a pay cut?  And how much does Q-S pay its guns vs what Bora pays Sagan?  I'd expect Gilbert to be paid decently, but he is hardly a Sagan-type star.  Neither is Terpstra.  But wow!, does Q-S get good bang for the buck from those guys!  And Lampaert.  And others.
