Pogacar and UAE top Tour de France prize money table after 10 stages

It’s the first rest day of the Tour de France - time to breathe, reflect, and take stock. The yellow jersey has changed hands, the mountains have begun to bite, and the battle for the GC is on. Away from the spotlight, however, there’s another contest quietly unfolding: the one for prize money.

With €2.3 million to be distributed across the 2025 edition, every sprint, climb, and breakaway carries its own reward. And after ten stages of hard racing, the financial leaderboard tells a story that runs parallel to the sporting one.

Unsurprisingly, UAE Team Emirates-XRG top the charts. The team has earned €51,560 so far, the bulk of which comes from Tadej Pogačar, who claimed two stage victories and held all the leader’s jerseys during the opening week.

Close behind are Visma | Lease a Bike (€47,130), who boosted their total through Simon Yates’ Bastille Day stage win and consistent top finishes in both the general classification and individual stages. Alpecin-Deceuninck (€41,700) follow closely, driven by the exploits of Mathieu van der Poel and Jasper Philipsen, whose stage wins and spells in the yellow and green jerseys have made a significant impact.

Further down the rankings, Soudal Quick-Step - despite leading the stage win tally with three victories from Remco Evenepoel and Tim Merlier - sit only fifth in the prize money standings. Meanwhile, EF Education-EasyPost have climbed into sixth, powered by Ben Healy’s breakaway heroics and his taste of yellow.

At the other end of the table, it’s been a lean start for Lotto, who sit dead last with just €4,730 in prize money. Also striking are the low positions of Red Bull–BORA–hansgrohe and INEOS Grenadiers, two high-profile teams with little to show so far.
