How much prize money was on offer at the 2024 Tour de France?
There is around €2.3 million up for grabs in the 2024 race


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.
Second place - Vingegaard - earns €200,000 (£169,000), with GC money extending all the way down to €1,000 (£845) for 20th-160th overall
Stage wins are worth €11,000 (£9,518), with prize money offered to riders who finish in the top 20 on each day.
You also get money for leading the classifications each day, with €500 per stage given to the man in yellow, and €300 to the other distinctive riders.
Intermediate sprints each day are worth €1,500 for the first rider across the line, while second gets €1,000 and third €500.
The green jersey winner - the rider with the most sprint points at the end of the race - secures €25,000. This year that was Biniam Girmay (Intermarché-Wanty). Jasper Philipsen's (Alpecin-Decueninck) four stage wins, one intermediate sprint victory, 18 days in the green jersey (€300 a day) and points classification victory, therefore, saw him earn €70,500 (£61,000) last year.

As with the points classification, the mountains winner - Richard Carapaz (EF Education-EasyPost) receives €25,000, with €200-€800 available on categorised climbs throughout the duration of the 21 stages. The harder the climb, the more money is available for each rider who passes the summit first.
€20,000 also goes to the rider who finishes as the best placed rider under the age of 25, the person in the white jersey. This year that was Remco Evenepoel (Soudal Quick-Step).
The overall combativity award, given to Carapaz. gifts an extra €20,000 for the overall prize and €2,000 per day with the gold numbers.
UAE Team Emirates, the winners of the team classification, netted €50,000, calculated by the cumulative time of each team's three fastest finishers. The same rule is applied on each stage, with €2,800 prize money awarded to the fastest team each day, too.
Traditionally, prize money is shared around a team rather than going to the sole winner, so domestiques might end up winning as much as their leader who wins overall.
