The 2024 Tour de France is coming to an end and Tadej Pogacar is on course to win a third yellow jersey after staving off competition from Jonas Vingegaard and Remco Evenepoel – and the Slovenian will be well rewarded.
Riders secure bonuses from their teams for their exploits on the bike during the Tour, but there is plenty of prize money on offer from race organisers ASO too.
Pogacar will take home a healthy winners’ cheque for his efforts, along with plenty more for stage wins, combativity awards and his King of the Mountains points.
