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...

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the €2800 Team prize for the fastest three riders in each stage by equally dividing the prizemoney by the remaining non-withdrawn riders in that team for that stage.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.
