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.
Looking down the list, three-time stage winner and Maglia Ciclamino Jonathan Milan brought home €85,314 and Geraint Thomas earned €79,418 with no other riders garnering more than €50,000 over the last three weeks of racing.
Three-time stage winner Tim Merlier who secured the victory at the Giro d'Italia's finale in Rome took home €45,909 just a touch more than the winner of the White Jersey for Best Young Rider, Antonio Tiberi who secured himself €45,570. The resurgent Julian Alaphilippe who took a stage win and the award for most combative rider earned €39,145 and Kaden Groves, despite not managing to secure a stage win was the next biggest earner at €31,376.
Completing the top-10 are other notable names from the last three weeks, Thymen Arensman and top-6 finisher for the INEOS Grenadiers and Ben O'Connor who equalled his best ever Grand Tour performance by finishing 4th in the general classification.

- You continue to platform these two cheats. With that in mind I can no longer use your site. I know my leaving means little, but, sometimes you have to take a stand. See ya!DJ21-12-2024
- Look at what Froome’s won since his last TdF, stop denying there is still more than possible one outcome to the future.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- Bruyneel understands nothing about clean competition.Sweep21-12-2024
- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024

- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
