The race\u2019s 112th edition began in Lille, with Slovenia’s Pogacar, who previously triumphed in 2020, 2021, and 2024, aiming to join Britain\u2019s Chris Froome in the elite club of four-time winners.<\/p>\n
That will edge him closer to the record five titles held by Bernard Hinault, Jacques Anquetil, Eddy Merckx and Miguel Indurain.<\/p>\n
Along the way, Pogacar has earned plenty of reward for his efforts. Riders secure bonuses from their teams for their exploits on the bike during the Tour, but there is plenty of prize money on offer from race organisers ASO too. They scoop prize money for stage wins, combativity awards, King of the Mountains points and much more. <\/p>\n
