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the €2800 Team prize for the fastest three riders in each stage by equally dividing the prizemoney by the remaining non-withdrawn riders in that team for that stage.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.
Prizemoney - how does it work?
To summarise, the 198 starters of the TDF are awarded prizemoney daily for the following categories:
-Intermediate sprint: 1st, 2nd, 3rd each stage
-Mountain: 1st (also, 2nd on a Cat HC/1/2, and 3rd on Cat HC/1) each mountain
-Special mountain prize: 1st rider over highest mountain in the race (Col D'Izoard - Stg14) and highest mountain in the Pyrenees (Col du Tourmalet - Stg18)
-Stage finish: Top 20 each stage
-Best young rider: 1st U26 rider in each stage
-Best team: 1st position for the top 3 riders in each team each stage
-Jerseys: The wearers of the Yellow, Green, White and Polkadot jersey each stage
-Combative: Most aggressive rider on each stage - the only subjective prize in the Tour, winner gets to wear a red race number the following day.
Additionally, all these prizes are replicated to an extent on the final standings. But more on this at rest day #2!
Riders do not get to keep their own prizemoney - it goes to the team. Some of the smaller prizes sound trivial, but with over €2,000,000 in total prizemoney it's not to be sniffed at. Riders in the Tour will race for the prestige - to hold the Yellow Jersey for a single day is far more prestigious than the €350 prize it gives.
But the point of the prizemoney standings and this blog is to draw attention to the money that's up for grabs and to paint an alternative classification based on what the organisers think the relative merits of each of the relative prizes.
Recap - Stages 1 to 10
What an exciting 10 days it's been. We started in sunny England with Kittel starring and winning three of the first four stages. After this, Nibali has been the best earner. All the while, Sagan's been mopping up intermediate sprints and top 5 finishes in most stages. The net result over 10 frantic stages is less than €500 separating these three stars. That is, a single third place (€500) in an intermediate sprint would switch the order at the top end of the rankings!
Next on the list is the two successful breakaway riders Kadri and Martin. Both win big on their stages mopping up significant mountain prizemoney and the "combative" prize. Martin's win in Stage 8 earned him €13,000, whereas Kittel, Kittel, Boom, Greipel, Trentin (winners of stages 3-7) earned just €8000 per stage.
To date, 124 cyclists have won some form of prizemoney in this tour - 74 riders have not. In fact, only 88 of the 198 starters have won more than €15 for each hour of racing.
For rest day 2, I will attempt to measure the prizemoney inequality using a Gini coefficient - a term economists use to measure how income inequality varies between different nations.
Upcoming stages
As it stands, Kittel, Sagan and Nibali are standouts for flat, lumpy and mountainous stages respectively. So it would be hard to see the top three being caught unless there are any more chutes.
