The Tour de France 2024 has just ended. After 21 days of racing at the biggest race of the year over, it's time to take a look at just how much money is on offer for those who do well. Despite inflation, none of this has changed for this year.
The overall victor, Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) will earn €500,000 (£423,000) for winning the Tour - that's around 20 per cent of the €2,301,200 (£1.95 million) prize purse. Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) earned the same prize money last year.
