Alga Tadej Pogacar

-Outsideonline.com Dec. 2023: annual income: $6M
- The Independent July 2023: €200,000 (Tour de France 2023)
- Cycling Weekly Mar 2022: € 6 million (the numbers are mostly best-guess calculations and some of the data is based on 2021 numbers, it still gives an interesting insight into the state of finances in the peloton)
- Cycling News Jul 2021: The young Slovene earned a total of €610,770. Pogačar won three stages, each worth €11,000 which, along with prizes for each day in the yellow jersey, leading the best young riders classification, winning the overall, young rider and mountains classification, bonuses at the top of various climbs and stage placings. His prize for winning the entire race was just €500,000
- Cyclist.co.uk Sep 2020: Pogacar banked €500,000 (£426,500) in prize money plus €500 (£458) for the solitary day he spent in the leader's jersey during the race. The Slovenian will have also pocketed a further €26,000 (£23,845) for topping the young riders' classification, and leading it for 12 stages, and an extra €25,000 (£22,928) for taking the polka dot King of the Mountains title, too. Three stage wins along the way would have also earned Pogacar €33,000 (£30,265) in prize money topped up by a further €11,800 (£10,822) made from placing between 2nd and 20th on no fewer than nine occasions throughout the race. Throw in the loose change he made from reaching various categorised mountain tops towards the front and the total windfall adds up to around a cool €620,00 (£567,000) in prize money for the young rider, not bad for someone still in their early twenties. However, as cycling is a team sport, Pocagar will unlikely be making any extravagant half a million purchases just yet, because that total will actually be shared among the rider's seven teammates, too.
