Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) spent two weeks defending his lead in the Tour de France, finishing off the 2021 edition in Paris on Sunday as the rider with the lowest overall time – 83 hours, 56 minutes and 36 seconds (41.165kph average) across the 21 stages and 3,414.4 kilometres to put his name in history as winner of his second Tour. 

His prize is more in prestige than cash, however, as the young Slovene earned a total of just €610,770 during the race, compared with tens of millions in prizes for other sports such as Formula 1 and €700 million for the FIFA World Cup.
