GCT top money earners after Rio-de Janeiro, Brazil

Edwina Alexander (above) remains the highest money earner from the GCT events this season.  The huge intake of 300,000 euros at the Rio de Janeiro event  by Dutch rider Gerco Schroder (below) saw him rocket up the prizemoney earnings list.

As the tour moves to the last event of the season the prizemoney in Abu Dhabi includes the 285,000 euros for the Grand Prix.  An extra 1 million euros will also be divided amongst the top 18 riders on the GCT ranking list.
