  1. 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.

  2. 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

  3. 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.

  4. 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…!

  5. 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

  6. 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

  7. 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.

  8. 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
