The yellow jersey winner receives 500,000 almost a quarter of the entire prize pot while second place earns 200,000, third earns 100,000, and the winnings diminish down to 3,800 for 10th place. There are also large sums on offer for the winners of each of the other three jerseys green, polka dot and white. Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek) took home the green jersey as the winner of the points classification, and netted 25,000. The same sum went to Richard Carapaz (EF Education-EasyPost) as the King of the Mountains. Carapaz also received 20,000 for winning the overall combativity award. Del Toros white jersey victory, as the best young rider, yielded the same amount. Likewise, the team classification, awarded to the team with the best cumulative time of its top three-riders in the GC, carries a significant pay-out. Lidl-Trek earned 50,000 for winning the competition, while UAE Team Emirates-XRG received 30,000 for second, and Red Bull-Bora-hansgrohe 20,000 for third. Prize money is also awarded after every stage based on each riders placing: 11,000 for the stage winner, 5,500 for second place, 2,800 for third, all the way down to 300 for 20th. Riders also have the chance to win between 200 and 5,000 for being first over certain climbs. Carapaz, for example, was awarded 5,000 for winning the Souvenir Henri Desgrange, the award given to the rider who summits the highest peak of the race, in this case the Col du Galibier on stage 20, which topped out at 2,642m.Meanwhile, Pogaar earned the same sum for winning the Souvenir Jacques Goddet, having been the first rider over the top of the Col du Tourmalet on stage six. All prize money is traditionally shared around a team, rather than going to the individual winners.
