Ben Healy (EF Education-EasyPost) may earn his living via the salary paid to him by his team, but the Irish rider also took home a nice sum of prize money from this year’s Tour de France.
Overall winner, Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG), topped the rider prize money list, winning €627,730. And his team also toppped the teams’ prize money list, claiming €708,780 between the eight riders.

Ireland’s Healy won the €20,000 super combative award, claimed victory on stage 6 to Vire Normandie, held the yellow jersey for two days and was 9th overall; winning €62,350. The Irishman’s winnings represented the vast majority of the total €79,530 his team won through the three weeks.
