the context of women\u2019s cycling\u2019s continued evolution, to see how it stacks up against the men\u2019s Tour.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The difference is still stark. This year, Tadej Poga\u010dar took home \u20ac500,000 for winning the Tour, and plenty more for his five stages wins, <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cyclingnews.com\/pro-cycling\/racing\/tadej-pogacar-and-uae-team-emirates-xrg-top-tour-de-france-prize-money-list-with-eur832-750\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.cyclingnews.com\/pro-cycling\/racing\/tadej-pogacar-and-uae-team-emirates-xrg-top-tour-de-france-prize-money-list-with-eur832-750\/\" data-hl-processed=\"none\" data-article-category=\"pro-cycling\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.cyclingnews.com\/pro-cycling\/racing\/tadej-pogacar-and-uae-team-emirates-xrg-top-tour-de-france-prize-money-list-with-eur832-750\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">giving his UAE Team Emirates-XRG squad a whopping total prize money haul of \u20ac832,750<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">That figure is tempered by the huge gulf to second-placed Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe on \u20ac288,160.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">However, there is still a big difference between the \u20ac2.5 million total prize pot for the men\u2019s Tour, and the \u20ac260,000 total for the women\u2019s Tour.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">There are several contributing factors, cited by among others the Tour de France Femmes race director Marion Rousse.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The men\u2019s Tour is a far bigger commercial beast, with huge revenues from broadcasting and sponsorship, and part of that is down to its scale. The men\u2019s Tour has over 100 years of history behind it, while the women\u2019s Tour in its current incarnation is only five editions old, and whereas the women\u2019s Tour has grown to nine stages, that\u2019s still less than half of the 21 stages of the men\u2019s race.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Rousse has consistently resisted unfavorable comparisons with the men\u2019s Tour, pointing out that the prize pot is still significantly higher than the most prestigious week-long races on the men\u2019s calendar, and underlining the fact that women\u2019s cycling is still growing from a very low economic foundation.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">\u201cWe must not grow too quickly, and above all, we must ensure the race&#8217;s longevity because if the event stops next year, it would be a catastrophe for women&#8217;s cycling, which is evolving very quickly from year to year,\u201d <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cyclingnews.com\/news\/tour-de-france-femmes-winner-pauline-ferrand-prevot-taking-home-10-times-less-prize-money-than-tadej-pogacar-is-the-wrong-comparison-to-make-says-race-director\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.cyclingnews.com\/news\/tour-de-france-femmes-winner-pauline-ferrand-prevot-taking-home-10-times-less-prize-money-than-tadej-pogacar-is-the-wrong-comparison-to-make-says-race-director\/\" data-hl-processed=\"none\" data-article-category=\"pro-cycling\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.cyclingnews.com\/news\/tour-de-france-femmes-winner-pauline-ferrand-prevot-taking-home-10-times-less-prize-money-than-tadej-pogacar-is-the-wrong-comparison-to-make-says-race-director\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rousse said in 2025<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-f77a19b0-94b4-11f1-b8a0-d748d23d1e06\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\"><em><strong>Support our unrivalled coverage of the Tour de France Femmes and women&#8217;s cycling by subscribing to Cyclingnews.
