$70 million and so they couldn’t even compete with a typical Craiglist vendor:

That’s much more than Tadej Pogačar’s new contract:

Certainly not am I accusing him of something, but when it does end up he’s been dishonest and he does get caught, a minimum of he’ll have sufficient to open a motorbike store.
