Tour de France 2017 prize money: How much each team won?

CTT

Chris Froome’s overall win at the 2017 Tour de France saw Team Sky top the race’s prize money list, with Froome picking up €500,000 himself.

The overall prize pot for the 2017 Tour de France was €2,285,950. Each team splits the money it wins – not just between riders, but mechanics, soigneurs and sometimes even the bus driver, although each team will have its own formula.

Top spot on the podium in Paris is worth €500,000. While that’s not an amount to be sniffed at, it is actually comparatively low compared to other sports. Tennis’ Wimbledon Championships, for example, hand out a whopping £2,200,000 to the two (gentleman and ladies) singles winners.

Second place receives €200,000 and third gets €100,000. Money is paid out to riders who place between first and 160th, with those placing from 20th to 160th receiving €1,000 apiece.

The overall winner of the points and king of the mountains classifications will put €25,000 in their pockets, while the best young rider overall gets €20,000. Prizes are also given out to those that wear the classification jerseys each day, with €500 going to the wearer of the yellow jersey, and €300 going to the green, white and polka-dot wearers.

The team leading the overall team classification at the end of the race net a further €50,000.
