How much money does the Tour winner get? In 2002, the winner took home 335,390 Euro (out of a total prize pool of 1,854,035 Euro) or rather, he didn't. Because it's impossible to win the Tour de France without the assistance of a team, the winner traditionally divides his winnings among the team.
There's a lot of prize money at stake in the Tour de France, and not simply for the final winner. Money is awarded in individual stages down to 25th place, with the exception of the team time trial, as only 21 teams are in the race. Daily prizes are given to the leader of each jersey competition, and each points or mountain sprint carries its own prizes for the first three across the line. Additional prizes are awarded each day to the most aggressive rider (Prix de la Combativite), as well as special primes throughout the race.
Finally, bonuses aren't just available to those who win. A special prize of 1,500 Euro per rider is given to each team that finishes with at least 7 of its 9 riders.
