The jury is in, at least for the first 10 stages of the Tour de France. As of the first rest day of this year's race, UAE Team Emirates-XRG has racked up the most prize money of any team in the Tour – surprise, surprise – while Jayco-AlUla has the dubious distinction of being the team fined the most money so far.
The ASO has published an updated rundown of all the prize money accrued to this point at the Tour, while jury reports have provided daily updates of the monetary penalties imposed for bad behavior, and we have compiled the data to get a sense of how the 21 teams of the 2025 Tour are faring financially up to this point. While most of the results are about as expected, there are some surprises.
A very informative graph, the product of some diligent work by Escape Collective member Michael Polom, puts things into perspective. Some teams are doing quite well for themselves. Others are underwhelming. Others are underwhelming and paying hefty fines.
Did we do a good job with this story?
