Il Tour de France 2024 It began with the grand departure from Florence and will travel through Northern Italy until the fourth stage when it will enter French soil to continue to Nice, on July 21st. 21 stages scheduled, 21 possible winners of the day who will compete for goals between sprints, climbs and breakaways. A goal that will see all 176 registered riders compete but that only a few will be able to celebrate, also taking the relative prize money. Because not only those who wear the yellow jersey or the jerseys of the other classifications earn: at each arrival there is a set prize pool that reaches up to the 20th classified.

Prize money at the Tour: how they are awarded
At the Tour de France, as in all UCI multi-day and in-line competitions, the prize money is not single but each winner will then have to share what he receives with all his teammates, the staff and accompanying officials of the team, the sports directors, in pre-established percentages. An equitable division to guarantee compensation also to those riders who, being simply gregarious, despite working for their captain or the most representative companions would not receive anything beyond the simple monthly salary
