The financial gulf continues further down the standings.
Runner-up Isaac Del Toro earned €42,784 for his gutsy performance in pink
across multiple stages, while Richard Carapaz, who finished third overall,
falls outside the top ten earners. Rounding out the richest riders of the Giro
were Olav Kooij (€41,957), Wout van Aert (€39,106), Manuele Tarozzi of VF
Group-Bardiani CSF-Faizanè (€33,100), Christian Scaroni of XDS Astana
(€31,390), and Israel – Premier Tech’s Derek Gee (€27,580).
The Giro’s prize pool for 2025 stood at an estimated €1.6
million, distributed across 21 stages through a range of classifications
including general classification, points, mountains, youth, team rankings, and
additional prizes for intermediate sprints, breakaways, and combativity awards.
Each individual stage win carried a reward of €11,000, meaning Pedersen’s four
victories alone brought in €44,000 before adding bonuses and jersey points.
In the team standings, Team Visma | Lease a Bike dominated
both in the prize ledger. The Dutch squad, buoyed by Yates’ overall victory and
major contributions from van Aert and Kooij, earned a whopping €375,511. This

brought in €55,404, followed by Bahrain Victorious (€53,879), Decathlon AG2R La
Mondiale (€52,195), and VF Group-Bardiani CSF-Faizanè with €50,244.
