The 2022 Tour de France, which starts this Friday, July 1, is one of the cycling competitions that best pays the winners of the stages and general classification.
From the first day, more than 170 cyclists will try to get the podium and at the same time make their teams reign in the Pro Tour event, considered one of the most important in the world.
The fight to obtain the title, not only refers to the honor of going down in history as the winner of the Tour, it also has to do with the cash prize to be obtained, above all, if it is in the first three places in the classification.
How much will the Tour de France champion earn?
The absolute winner of the fair will receive 500,000 euros, the second will receive a bag of 200,000 euros, while the third will win 100,000.
Those who remain in the first 20 places will also receive a smaller incentive than these, but no less important.
These prizes are apart from what each one can win if they win a stage, which pays 11 thousand euros to the winner, 5,500 to the second and 2,800 to the third.

The wearer of the yellow shirt (maillot) will have an additional 500 euros for each day he wears it, that is, the winner of the first stage will get 11 thousand euros for winning it and 500 more for the day he wears it.
The prizes for the bonuses are also usually attractive, such as the 11,000 Euros that will be given to each climber, 20,000 to the best junior and 50,000 Euros to the best team.
