The 2024
Giro d'Italia belonged to
Tadej Pogacar, there's no question about that. Six stage wins, a near ten-minute lead in the general classification and almost the entire race in the Maglia Rosa after his victory on stage 2.
As such, it's somewhat unsurprising that the UAE Team Emirates raked in the majority of the
prize money on offer at the opening Grand Tour of the season. According to stats put together by
procyclingstats.com, in total, the Slovenian earned the monster sum of €414,751 through his performances, almost €300,000 more than the next biggest earner, Daniel Martinez, the only other rider at the Giro d'Italia to earn more than €100,000.
