say Tyler Hamilton for example, how does one earn a crust if you've been booted out of the pro peloton for a few years? Just wondered, anyone see Hamilton stacking shelves in his local Walmart?!

Rumsas wins every "granfondo" (marathon road race just for amateur) here in Italy.

Ivan Basso trains like a mad (I think he is in the best shape ever!) and does some test on products.

ciao!

I guess guys like Basso or Hamilton earned enough for keep a decent living.
Other guys, Ive no idea actually. Probably normal jobs here and there.

P.S.: Rumsas is not anymore a banned rider.
