Unsurprisingly the classification which is most valued is the overall classification. The winner of the Tour de France is decided by it, and it is one of the most seeked goals for many riders - but unachievable to most. The winner of the Tour de France will take €500.000 home, although the money that each team makes is distributed between riders and staff. But don't feel bad for those who fail to finish first, second and third receive €200.000 and €100.000 respectively. Each rider that finishes the Tour de France automatically receives at least €1000, with the Top19 riders having more. Everyday the wearer of the yellow jersey will also have €500 in the pocket.

When it comes to the green jersey, it is an equally important achievement for the sprinters. The stage in Champs-Élysées is vital, however the final classification is one usually heavily disputed everyday. Each intermediate sprint awards money to the first three across with a maximum prize of €1.500, and the jersey wearer €300. However in the final classification is where most of the gains are, with the first eight riders receiving a bonus - in which the winner collects €25.000.

The same values are found in the KOM classification regarding the final classifications, however this one distributes much more prize money throughout the race, as every classified climb will have bonus. From HC all the way down to 4th category climbs you can see how much the riders make, with the first three riders going over the HC and 1st category climbs receiving maximum prize.

Of course the Youth Classification, or as it is otherwise known, the U25 classification also awards the riders with some prize. With the rise of a new generation we often see these riders fight for yellow instead, however it always makes for an interesting plot in the race. The winner receives an additional €20.000 to the team's funds, with €15.000 and €10.000 given above.

As for the Teams Classification there is a heftier bonus, with €50.000 being the prize for the team that completes the Tour de France in the least time. Every stage the times of the three best riders of each team are taken, which then add up to the classification. Each day's winner receives aswell €2.800.

The Combativity award will also reward those who spend large kilometers in the head of the race, each day rewarding the most brave rider. Each day that rider receives €2.000 which is a good enough incentive to have teams push for that money. The Super Combative, or the rider who the jury agree to be the most aggressive throughout the race, will receive €20.000 at the end of the race.

- Sorry but 50€ a day for an international hotel was already a joke 6 years ago. Combined with the fact a lot of them are international chains, this is just capitalism as the West has taught. I think the business term used now is « dynamic pricing « and it happens everywhere. Maybe some will now reflect on how 3rd world delegations are discriminated by prices when they have always had to travel to meetings, hence distorting results and silverware. We will also still have to see how things work out visa-wise, how many participants will be refused as in Glasgow and on what basis? As regards Pog, the coach had better put in place a strategy to avoid his boycotting for personal political reasons, that’s at least as big a problem as logistics.Mistermaumau24-12-2024
- By the way AI can only answer what it knows and there are many things it doesn’t and will never know.Mistermaumau24-12-2024
- No but they spent a fortune on a cookie to predict the unpredictable. So much for tech and data and experts. Always useful in the service of opaque agendas.Mistermaumau24-12-2024
- Pog doesn’t do xc, might never try and has admitted he’d have no chance against MVDP in this. Shame really because I’m sure quite a few fans would enjoy watching him try and it would complicate the discussion of who is more complete which almost completely ignores off-road talent. Anyway, merr Xmas to all, keep next season in mind as you let go at the table the next days ;-)Mistermaumau24-12-2024
- USA Cycling couldn't have predicted what would happen with the star-studded Dutch team...Pogboom24-12-2024
- i don’t know about it being a “nightmare” for mathieu, but he did lose. flanders is a similar nightmare i suppose for almost anyone who gets dropped on the paterberg at the end. very hard to chase back.OCexile24-12-2024
- yeah, i’m not sure you can say that van der poel was so dominant in the spring “because van aert wasn’t there.” who knows how wout would have farted against mathieu in those races, because HE WASN’T THERE. wout has never beaten mvdp in any cobbled monument, but maybe he would have IF HE’D BEEN THERE. maybe, just like mads, et al, he’d have gotten smoked. we’ll never know, BECAUSE…OCexile24-12-2024
- You are dreaming. MvdP has won Flanders 3 times and come second twice, once against the Pog in a very close race. He has convincingly beaten the Pog directly in MSR twice as well.Velovibes24-12-2024
- USA Cycling is just such a good institution! ...And they wonder why I don't do their races anymore!acem8224-12-2024
- MvdP is just afraid losing Pogi on his sight. Since 2023 Tour of Flanders is a nightmare for him when he dropped.
