Stage 15 - preview

Today in Stage 15 (starting at 12h10 / 8:10pm AEST) there's €32,050 up for grabs including €1500/1000/500 for Intermediate sprint at 46.5km, ~16h15 / 12:15am AEST

Finish at ~17h20 / 1:20am AEST

€22,500 for top 20 stage finishers (winner takes €8000 of this)

€2,800 for stage winning team (based on aggregate time of top 3 finishers)

€500 for stage winning young rider

€350 for wearer of yellow jersey after today's stage

€300 for wearers of green, polka dots, white jerseys

€2,000 for winner of "combative" rider tonight.

Here are how the top 10 cyclists have won their money:

As you can see, recent movers in the mountains have been
-De Marchi (Cannondale), winning a couple of Combative €2,000 prizes
-Rodriguez (Katusha), winning the Souvenir Henri Desgranges €5,000 prize
-Majka (Tinkoff-Saxo), with consecutive 2nd and 1st place finishes

On the other hand, Kittel has been noticeably absent - three wins in the first four stages but then not a single €racker since!

Tonight the winner will secure €8,000 - enough to shake up the Top 3 prizemoney winners!

At least the prizemoney battle is close even if the GC and Sprint jerseys appear all sewn up...

Stage 14 Results

While the battle for the maillot jeune appears over the battle for stage prizemoney still has plenty of life in it. Stage 14 offers the most prizemoney of any stage and a rider could individually pick up a whopping €20,000 in the unlikely event of a stage clean sweep.

Rest Day 1: full prizemoney listings

Welcome to my Rest Day 1 summary! After €337,350 of prizes, it is pertinent that I use this rest day to provide an update on who's won what.

This post includes selected prizemoney commentary, as well as providing the complete list of prizemoney by

-Cyclist

-Team

-Nationaility

Nerdy note: I include the €2800 Team prize for the fastest three riders in each stage by equally dividing the prizemoney by the remaining non-withdrawn riders in that team for that stage. This explains the "odd" amounts in my listing, even though individual prizes for cyclists are in multiples of €10.

Stage 3 - prize money - UPDATED

Bonjour tout le monde.

Stage 3 saw a predictable sprint with a predictable finish. But what does this mean for prizemoney?

Kittel has taken a strong lead with his second stage win with prizemoney up to €16,350. Second is Sagan, mopping up more prize money in the final sprint. He has now scored €11,100 and overtaken Nibali who remains on €8,350.

CyclingPrizes favourite Zak Dempster has finished in 11th, mopping up €540 and is now in 43rd place - this puts him ahead of Contador. Something tells me this won't last until Paris though.

With Demare's 14th place finish, FDJ are off the mark, but remain last on the teams list with just €340 of prizes.

During Stage 3, the only prize was for the intermediate sprint, plus the usual collection of end-of-stage prizemoney. Today the riders won €32,050 in prizemoney, with the total prizemoney won now €99,800 as shared by 69 different riders

Below are the usual:
- Prize money leaderboards (by rider, team and country)
- Prize money won during the stage (sprints and mountains)
- Prize money won at the end of the stage (final classification, team and young rider)
- Prize money for jersey holders (GC, points, KOM, young, combative)

Welcome to Stage 2 of Le Tour. Wow. What a day it was, with the riding royalty battling it out in Sheffield and Nibali going solo to wear Yellow in Stage 3.

During the stage, we had nine categorised climbs plus the obligatory intermediate sprint.

Today the riders won €34,900 in prizemoney.

Below are the usual:
- Prize money leaderboards (by rider, team and country)

Recap - 2013 Tour De France Prize Money

Here are the top 20 prize money earners for the 2013 Tour De France:

Welcome to Cycling Prizes

Welcome to Cycling Prizes!

Although there are numerous cycling sites that rank riders by various categories, I believe this is the first site to rank cyclists by prize money.

In total there is over €2,000,000 of prize money in cycling's richest race.

This site will track prizes in the 2014 Tour De France and produce a daily summary of prizes won by cyclists, teams and nations.

Update frequency:
I will update each stage (at the latest) by 00:00 GMT but will try to update immediately at the end of each stage. If I'm really lucky, I will update the stages live as the riders pass each mountain or intermediate sprint.

I will start by publishing the final prizemoney results from the 2013 Tour and Stage 1 today.
