PARIS (Reuters) - Tinkoff-Saxo's proposal to pit cycling's top four grand tour riders against each other in the Giro d'Italia, Tour de France and the Vuelta could provide a perfect platform to make the sport more attractive to a wider audience.
Last week, team owner Oleg Tinkov offered a $1 million prize pool to be shared between Giro winner Nairo Quintana, Vuelta champion Alberto Contador, and the last two Tour de France winners Chris Froome and Vincenzo Nibali to battle for supremacy on all three grand tours.
