25 millions are not enough for this great endurance performances! ❤
In contrast, the single winner of the men's and women's Wimbledon Championships gets . . . £2,700,000 each!
So if Jasper Philipsen isn’t penalized does Girmay still win?
While bench players of other sports make an easy 1 million just keeping seats warm for the starters haha. So sad that's why we need POGI & JONAS & Remco throwing words for the drama etc. It's entertaining which will bring views which brings in money.
Sorry this is absolutely ridiculous for the most difficult sport
Chump change for the extraordinary efforts and entertainment value. I could say the same for jazz musicians, but I digress.
So sad, so many watch, more than almost all other sports, and yet so little monies 😢
It’s absolutely shocking how low they get paid comparing with other sports. Cycling is the hardest sport. Can you please elaborate why cyclists make less than other sports like tennis etc
Good thing their real salaries don't come from the races prizes… Riders and team participate to a race for exposure : the more their are seen, the most likely they will attract a good sponsor that's ready to cash in millions for the riders, the staff, the logistics and équipements… 600.000 € for Tadej who won the Tour with 6 stages and 19 days with the yellow jersey is pocket money compared to his 8 millions euros annual salary.
With the amount of sponsorships and TV rights WORLDWIDE, this prize money is simply peanuts and table scraps. Oh…, and it's all taxed to the gills. So a domestique who busts ass for 3 weeks basically earns beer money for the year. This is not only outrageous but onerous theft considering the work that goes in versus the advertising €'s surrounding the tour. SOMEONE is making a killing on the backs of these world class athletes with regards to prize monies – Who could that be? How is this possible – the motorcycle riders covering the event make more – wrap your head around that…!
Don’t know where you get your information but you’re totally in lala land maybe 20 years ago but in 2024 the amount of money is in the 100 millions
Tour de france organizers mafia
The real question is how much did Bini pay his doctor
I understand there would be a lot of overhead costs when organising, filming and coordinating the entire Tour. Yet the organisers charge alot of the departures ans arrival cities and towns and extraordinary amount of money to host, plus sponsors, plus endorsements of their own, so surely they can pay the riders more as they are the stars! The very same happened with the PGA. Players threatened to leave and they got their payrise. Cyclists should strike
compared to how much a bike is, nutritionist, trainers, medical people involved in the sport, they get very little return compare to other sports
Congratulations to all the victors… and their supportive team members.
The prize are ridiculously small for this big event..
Very lousy prize to TDF. 😭😭😭
Roland Garros way more better with ~EUR60k
I am absolutely sure that who so ever chooses this sport does not go for it for money. Its the love and honesty they represent for this sport
I think the prize money of the winner is just a bonus because each rider has a guaranted contract money from their respective team. And the team is only after on the advertisement of their products aside from the prize money.
Cycling isn't producing alot of money to be fair..
why so low payment despite the toughest sports
This channel love Bini from day one and in asmera we call it Bini channel 😅
Compared to football and tennis the prize money for cyclists is ridiculously low! Outrageous!
Remco is NOT the FIRST Belgian to be white jersey winner. Merckx won the Tour at 24years old and would have been the FIRST Belgian white jersey winner if that competition was available
The Euro tiddlywinks championship winner probably gets more money than the winner of TDF
This is peanuts
Pay all bikers $200.000 a day.
