Giro d'Italia 2026 money race - Here's how much every team has earned so far in prize money

As riders enjoy a well-earned Giro d'Italia rest day after a brutal first week featuring mountain-top finishes, gruelling weather conditions, serious crashes and hectic sprints, fans are reflecting on an action-packed nine stages while some teams may be counting their winnings from prizes.

Although not the primary focus for teams and riders among the daily duties of a grand tour like the Giro, a massive €1.6 million euros will be given to teams over the course of various prizes and classifications over the three weeks. This will be given as a basis of the following classifications: Overall; Points; KOM; Youth and Teams. Furthermore, prizes are attributed for the Intermediate sprints, Red Bull Kilometer, longest breakaways and combativity awards.

Winning the Giro is worth a whopping €265,000 on top of the coveted Maglia Rosa and is sure to be a big motivation for Afonso Eulálio as he seeks to hold on to the lead despite two stage wins from a fast-approaching Jonas Vingagaard. The Portugeuse climber holds a lead of two minutes and twenty-four seconds over the Dane while Felix Gall is just under three minutes behind.

Despite crashes seeing key riders Adam Yates, Jay Vine and Marc Soler going home after just two stages, UAE Team Emirates - XRG have bounced back emphatically to dominate the remaining breakaway-won stages. The team have won three stages thanks to Igor Arrieta and two from Jhonatan Narvaez, and will be taking home just over €50,000 home so far.

Paul Magnier's Soudal - Quickstep are next in the leaderboard after the Frenchman's two stage wins. XDS Astana aren't far behind in third thanks to all-round performances while Vingegaard's two wins bolstered Team Visma | Lease a Bike's tally.

Of course there's plenty more money for teams to earn with a variety of challenging stages and the overall classifications yet to be officially decided, but with UAE Team Emirates - XRG likely to target more success, they could be set to reap the rewards and salvage a big prize money payday after a disaster opening weekend.
