Pogacar and UAE also emerge as Tour de France’s financial winners

Courtesy of winning a fourth Tour de France, Tadej Pogačar and UAE Team Emirates-XRG have smashed the other teams in terms of prize money won at the 2025 Tour.

UAE Team Emirates-XRG passed the €700,000 mark thanks to Pogačar’s relentless success across the general classification, stage wins and jerseys. In total, the World Champions' team €701,280 for their exploits across the three weeks of racing in France.

The big movers in the prize money standings from the end of week 2 to week 3 are naturally those who had riders highly placed in the general classification, and those who won other classifications.

Jonas Vingegaard's 2nd place in the GC and mountains classification, Wout van Aert's epic win on stage 21, and Visma | Lease a Bike's victory in the team classification, helped the Dutch team's prize money total to €383,150, well off the pace of UAE Team Emirates-XRG, but still comfortably the 2nd most successful team in terms of prize money.

For example, as a result of Florian Lipowitz's incredible debut Tour, 3rd in GC and winner of the Youth classification, Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe jumped to 3rd in the prize money standings with a total of €124,430. 

The same can be said for Picnic PostNL and Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale, who finished 4th and 5th in the GC with Oscar Onley and Felix Gall, respectively. The Dutch team's total ended on €124,430, whilst Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale reached €84,880.

For Lidl-Trek, Jonathan Milan's points classification success and his two stage wins helped contribute to a total of €103,770, the fifth and final team to surpass the €100,000, sandwiched in between Picnic PostNL and Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale.

Ben Healy's heroics, winning a stage, the Super combativity and 9th in GC also ensured a nice paycheck for EF Education-EasyPost with a total of €76,080, ending 7th in the prize money standings.

And whilst the stars of Soudal Quick-Step and Alpecin-Deceuninck didn't make it to Paris, their 4 and 3 stage wins respectively placed them 8th and 9th in the prize money standings with healthy totals of €72,810 and €69,920 respectively.

Uno-X Mobility were the highest earning UCI ProTour team, earning €68,300 after a majorly successful Tour, winning stage 11 with Jonas Abrahamsen and finishing 6th in the general classification with Tobias Halland Johannessen, whilst for Ineos Grenadiers, they are no doubt lower where they would have hoped to be in the standings despite two impressive stage wins with Thymen Arensman with a total of €51,650 in 13th.

At the other end of the rankings, Cofidis received the least amount of money at this Tour de France with €15,510, after a largely disappointing race which won't have helped the UCI WorldTour relegation survival ambitions any good.
