The 2024 Tour de France is coming to an end and Tadej Pogacar is on course to win a third yellow jersey after staving off competition from Jonas Vingegaard and Remco Evenepoel – and the Slovenian will be well rewarded.
Riders secure bonuses from their teams for their exploits on the bike during the Tour, but there is plenty of prize money on offer from race organisers ASO too.
Pogacar will take home a healthy winners’ cheque for his efforts, along with plenty more for stage wins, combativity awards and his King of the Mountains points.

There are other prizes to be won throughout the Tour de France. The daily combativity award comes with a €2,000 purse, and the overall combativity award earns the winner €20,000.
There is €800 for the first rider over the top of each hors categorie climb, €600 for category one, €400 for category two, €300 for category three and €200 for category four ascents.
The leader of each classification receives €300 per day, except for the general classification who receives €500.
The winner of the Souvenir Henri Desgrange – the first rider over the top of the highest point of the race – earns €5,000. This year that was Pogacar, who also went on to win the stage, collecting a healthy pay day.
The winner of the team classification, which is decided by the cumulative time of each team’s three fastest finishers, is awarded €50,000, with the fastest team on each day also earning €2,800. This money is traditionally shared around the team.
