A few days ago I heard that Mark Cavendish (HTC-Highroad) only earns around a million Euros. Quite surprising.

It is obviously lots of money, but a cyclist who wins as much as him should make more money.

Damiano Cunego or Carlos Sastre have done great results in the past, but currently they do not make much noise. Still they earn more than the sprinter. So did Riccardo Ricco, for the short time that he raced with Vacansoleil.

No wonder why Cavendish isn't satisfied with his contract. But HTC-Highroad can barely do something.

Cavendish is represented by an agency called Face Partnership and a company called Three60.

The Face Partnership earlier represented riders, but nowadays the company is mostly working with events management. Many riders left at this time, but Cavendish didn't. And this has caused problems.

The manager of Face Partnership, Fran Millar, the sister of David Millar (Team Sky) has recently joined Team Sky to work as a "project Manager", while she remains with Face, the Inner Ring wrote.

That means the company is now closely linked to Team Sky. And Cavendish is closely linked to both teams. The British Team Sky is obviously interested in signing the sprinter, but would it be a smart choice by Cavendish? Probably not. In HTC-Highroad he has a great lead out-train, but will he be able to win without them? What is worth the most? Money or victories? Well, I believe he would bring some team mates with him, if he chance team, but no matter what Cavendish will surely have to think about his future this season.
