I am absolutely sure that who so ever chooses this sport does not go for it for money. Its the love and honesty they represent for this sport

[gabrielfeuning]

Sorry this is absolutely ridiculous for the most difficult sport

[savagepro]

In contrast, the single winner of the men's and women's Wimbledon Championships gets . . . £2, 700, 000 each!

compared to how much a bike is, nutritionist, trainers, medical people involved in the sport, they get very little return compare to other sports

[jasamzakon]

25 millions are not enough for this great endurance performances! ❤

[jxferenge]

Chump change for the extraordinary efforts and entertainment value. I could say the same for jazz musicians, but I digress.

[samsonermias]

It’s absolutely shocking how low they get paid comparing with other sports. Cycling is the hardest sport. Can you please elaborate why cyclists make less than other sports like tennis etc

[haroldmcoz]

I think the prize money of the winner is just a bonus because each rider has a guaranted contract money from their respective team. And the team is only after on the advertisement of their products aside from the prize money.

While bench players of other sports make an easy 1 million just keeping seats warm for the starters haha. So sad that's why we need POGI & JONAS & Remco throwing words for the drama etc. It's entertaining which will bring views which brings in money.

[CliftonDon]

Thanks for this one! This is a detail that I was never informed of. Pretty cool.

[abderrahimkoch]

Compared to football and tennis the prize money for cyclists is *ridiculously low!* Outrageous!

Remco is NOT the FIRST Belgian to be white jersey winner. Merckx won the Tour at 24years old and would have been the FIRST Belgian white jersey winner if that competition was available

This channel love Bini from day one and in asmera we call it Bini channel 😅

[corydaddydoras]

So sad, so many watch, more than almost all other sports, and yet so little monies 😢

[volvowithlazers]

Looks like Bora went from zero to hero this season with the Vuelta win

[tungstenkid]

Does every team member get an equal share of the prize money?

[kostatesfa]

Congratulations to all the victors... and their supportive team members.

Cycling as a sport has next to zero ticket sales. They only make money from sponsors, cities paying to be part of the race, and tv deals. Also the race is not entertaining except the final sprint of most stages. Despite it being an amazing sport and it has the toughest athletes, it isn’t a very good business model.

[michaelbantilo-kqbg]

Cycling isn't producing alot of money to be fair..

[nattyasrat]

why so low payment despite the toughest sports
