After 15 stages of the Tour de France, Jumbo-Visma have raked in the most cash in prize money, with Jonas Vingegaard leading the overall classification and winning stage 11 on the Col du Granon and Wout van Aert continuing in the green jersey.
Vingegaard has spent five stages in the lead of the Tour de France since that stage victory and has helped the team claim €111,350 to date.
The two biggest budget teams have won the most cash and the most UCI points, with Ineos Grenadiers second but with less than half as much in prize money - they've earned €50,970 so far. Their biggest gain was Tom Pidcock's victory on l'Alpe d'Huez.
BikeExchange-Jayco slotted in at third thanks to Michael Matthews' stage win in Mende with €45,950.
Since Tadej Pogačar lost the race lead, UAE Team Emirates haven't made as many gains, and they're holding steady in fourth with €44,450.
EF-EasyPost, with a stage win by Magnus Cort and Alberto Bettiol's combativity prize on the stage to Mende have earned them €44,250 - more than bigger teams QuickStep-AlphaVinyl, who are in sixth.
On the other end of the spectrum, Lotto Soudal have had little luck, with sprinter Caleb Ewan spending more time out the back than contesting stage wins. They're second to last with 6,070.
