The 2017 Tour de France is quickly nearing completion, and one rider will soon earn a lofty paycheck for his three weeks of grueling work.
With the 104th edition of the famed race featuring a reported purse of €2,280,950 (roughly £2,046,000 or $2,653,000), the man who dons the yellow jersey into Paris will receive €500,000 (roughly £448,000 or $581,000) in addition to a nice glass of champagne.
There are also prizes awarded to winners of the other stages, as well as daily bonuses. Here’s everything you need to know about the breakdown of prize money at La Grande Boucle:
