UAE Team Emirates dominate the team prize money haul from 2024 Giro d'Italia; BORA, INEOS & Soudal - Quick-Step pick up majority of scraps

Given the immense domination of Tadej Pogacar at the 2024 Giro d'Italia, the fact UAE Team Emirates brought home the largest chunk of the prize pot by some considerable margin at the opening Grand Tour of the year comes as no surprise.

According to stats put together by procyclingstats.com, in total, the team of the Maglia Rosa took a total of €432,509 during the last three weeks of racing. In truth, this was mostly down to Pogacar's efforts as he romped to six stage wins, victory in two jersey classifications and a complete and utter domination of the Maglia Rosa since his triumph on stage 2. Of the €432,509 earned by UAE Team Emirates at the 2024 Giro d'Italia, an astonishing €414,751 was brought in by the Slovenian superstar.

Behind UAE Team Emirates in the prize haul list, three teams managed to get their earnings into the six figure mark. BORA - hansgrohe who had second placed overall Daniel Martinez in their ranks brought home €169,440, the INEOS Grenadiers, who took stage wins through Jhonatan Narvaez and Filippo Ganna and had Geraint Thomas in 3rd overall secured €162,892, whilst Soudal - Quick-Step, who had a top-10 finisher in Jan Hirt and four stage wins through Julian Alaphilippe and Tim Merlier garnered a total of €101,592 in prize money.

Lidl-Trek follow, thanks mostly to the efforts of three-time stage winner and Maglia Ciclamino Jonathan Milan with Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale Team, who secured wins through Andrea Vendrame and Valentin Paret-Peintre, plus a top-4 finish with Ben O'Connor are next. Arguably most impressive however are second-tier Italian side VF Group - Bardiani CSF - Faizanè who complete the top-10 with a total of €45,524 due to the attacking performances of the likes of Filippo Fiorelli, Martin Marcellusi and Giulio Pellizzari among others.
