2026 Tour de France prize money: This is how much Pogačar and Vingegaard’s teams have earned so far

Nine days of the Tour de France have been completed, but how much prize money has each team actually earned? Race organiser A.S.O. publishes an updated prize money overview on every rest day. It will come as no surprise that Tadej Pogačar’s UAE Team Emirates-XRG currently leads the way.

Pogačar’s team has earned almost €70,000 so far, while Lidl-Trek (€38,570) and Team Visma | Lease a Bike (€31,700) already trail by a considerable margin. Tudor Pro Cycling Team is at the bottom of the ranking with €2,320.

Mathieu van der Poel’s Alpecin-Premier Tech, which has also celebrated a stage victory, has collected €20,020 so far and sits eighth.

The first week of the Tour de France can already be lucrative for teams. Stage wins, sprint placing, classification jerseys and day-to-day results all bring in prize money, and it adds up quickly when a team places riders in the right moves from the opening stages.

That means the early days are often about more than just yellow jersey ambitions. A team can leave week one with a solid payday by chasing stage results, targeting intermediate sprints and fighting for bonus classifications, even if its overall contender is still waiting for the race to open up.

A stage win in the Tour de France is worth €11,000, with prize money also paid down to 20th place on the stage. Teams can collect even when they do not take the victory. The first rider across the line in an intermediate sprint gets €1,500, while second and third take €1,000 and €500 respectively.

The jersey prizes also matter from the opening week. Riders earn €500 for every day in yellow, and €300 per day for wearing the green, polka-dot or white jersey. At the end of the race, the yellow jersey winner gets €500,000, while the green and polka-dot winners receive €25,000 each and the white jersey winner takes €20,000.
