Their little introduction alleging that there was a lot of money to be won by winning the tour got me to look it up, 500,000 euros split by winner's team and staff.

I did not realize that the current prize money is so low, compared to some other sports. The prize money has also not increased by as much as I would have thought (only ~10x). 1903: 12,000 Ancient French Francs = 2016: 30,760,712 FRF = 2016: 46,895 EURO = 2016: 52,217 USD. I guess it's better to be Andy Murray than Chris Froome, since in 2016 the Wimbledon winner is awarded €2,253,217.* And if you finish 20th or lower? Quote:
Or stupid golf. I don't follow golf, but I just saw that someone won something called the Barracuda Championship, which is certainly no Master's, etc. Purse: $3,200,000 • Winning Share: $576,000 Last edited by cadence90; 07-03-2016 at 08:53 PM. |

The main prize money goes to the team, the winner makes his money from endorsements and start money. The pay check the riders get now is huge compared to when I was riding, I was on £5,500 basic, Laurent Fignon was on £40,000 basic back in 1987. The sponsor gave you a bonus for podium places and the prize money went in to a pot that was split between then the medical team, mechanics, coaching staff and domestiques.
