the racing season they try to get by on money saved from winter jobs and on ravel allowances and equipment discounts provided by their sponsor Cat Eye-a bicycle components manufacturer Sometimes prizes can be sold you can only get $250 for a $500 TV and got $2000 worth of ski vacations 1 cad't unload- Pringle -said Without sponsors they said racing on a national level would be impossible They

performances On the closing day he was in Aspen competing in another bicycle race In contrast to the American experience both look to Europe with envy and are thinking of turning pro and racing there next year Bike racing is a major European sport second only to soccer Large corporations pay cyclists to ride for their teams and the top star Belgian Eddy Merckx is a millionaire take care of Pringle said There are team managers who make travel arrangements and line up meals team doctors and team 'mechanics The riders concentrate only on riding But it be an easy transition Europeans readily accept
