Tour de France 2025 prize money: How much does each stage winner earn?
The race's 112th edition begins in Lille, with Slovenia's Pogacar, who previously triumphed in 2020, 2021, and 2024, aiming to join Britain's Chris Froome in the elite club of four-time winners.
That would edge him closer to the record five titles held by Bernard Hinault, Jacques Anquetil, Eddy Merckx and Miguel Indurain.
Along the way, Pogacar will earn plenty of reward for his efforts. Riders secure bonuses from their teams for their exploits on the bike during the Tour, but there is plenty of prize money on offer from race organisers ASO too. They scoop prize money for stage wins, combativity awards, King of the Mountains points and much more.

How Paul Pogba overcame the doubts to launch improbable Monaco comeback
The tears flowed as Paul Pogba signed his two-year deal at AS Monaco last week. "It is very rare to see me cry like that so I hope you enjoyed it," he joked at his presentation on Thursday. "It was a moment of joy," insisted the former Manchester United and Juventus midfielder. But the outpouring of emotion runs deeper; it is more complex, more nuanced. It has been a turbulent three years for Pogba. "There were so many images that came into my mind. We know the doping story, my injury… everything came back to me during the signing and I just couldn't hold it back," he said. A doping ban, initially for four years but reduced to 18 months following a successful appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), coupled with injuries, have reduced the Frenchman to just over 200 minutes of football since the start of the 2022/23 season. Off-the-pitch issues have contributed to his on-pitch absence. "It is all linked. If the mind is good, it will go well on the pitch," he said on Thursday. Mentally, however, it transpired that Pogba wasn't in a good place, and that manifested itself physically, so Pogba believes. In March 2022, while still at Manchester United, he was kidnapped by masked men as part of an extortion attempt that implicated brother Mathias. Months later, he joined Juventus, but the extortion attempt followed him to Italy. Mathias Pogba phoned his brother, demanding a €13m payment and threatening to sully the player's image if the request was not met. It was not met. Mathias then claimed that his brother had used a witch doctor to put a curse on Kylian Mbappé ahead of PSG's Champions League Round of 16 tie against Manchester United back in 2019. "Paul never asked me to cast a spell on Mbappé," insisted the marabout. Although the player acknowledged speaking with a marabout, he states that it was only for help regarding the injuries that scuppered the end of his time at Manchester United and then his first year back at Juventus. After his brother was sentenced to a three-year prison, two years of which were suspended, at the end of 2024, Paul Pogba said he wished to "turn the page". By signing for Monaco, he has closed one chapter, a painful one. "I live day by day, not thinking about what happened to me in the past, [I'm] just thinking about the present and what's in front of me," he said, adding that he "hopes and thinks" that his new-found mental fortitude will keep the injuries at bay. "It's all linked," he insists. And Pogba, despite his light-hearted façade and his jokes about the dream of seeing his children "dab" when he scores a goal, he is a player, a man changed and remoulded by his recent experiences. He himself can recognise that. "It is still the same Paul Pogba, but perhaps a more determined one. You will see a determined Paul Pogba," he said. There was a particular motivation for Pogba to make his return. "He wants his kids to see him play," Monaco's CEO Thiago Scuro tells us. His kids, and his wife, were a particular source of strength over the past months. "There were moments of doubt. [Thinking that] maybe it's over; it is difficult sometimes. My family, my wife in particular, pushed me. They said it would be alright… now I feel like a kid that has signed his first professional contract," added Pogba. But there is another motivating factor to return and to do so at a club like Monaco, whose performance centre in La Turbie is just a stone's throw away from Didier Deshcamps' residence. "The France national team would be another dream, a bonus," said Pogba. Scuro added that the Frenchman has set his sights on participation in next summer's World Cup. "You can't play for France without playing for your club," recognises Pogba. And he isn't there yet. The midfielder says that playing against his formative club, Le Havre, on the first day of the Ligue 1 season in August is an "added motivation". But it is only after Pogba, followed by many of the 40 journalists in attendance at his unveiling, departs the scene that a dose of realism enters. "I can guarantee that he won't be on the pitch against Le Havre. We are here to be realistic. We expect a three-month process," says Scuro, who talks about "increasing the load" in the coming weeks. Pogba was one of 12 first-team players absent from training on Thursday. Other new signings, Eric Dier and Ansu Fati, were only partially involved. The question of whether Pogba can still be the player that helped lead France to World Cup glory in 2018 is yet to be answered and won't be answered any time soon. But as a person, he now exudes a different energy. There is still the aura, the silence as he enters the room, the bravado, and the show, but there is a seriousness, too, a steely grit and an emotional vulnerability, either previously concealed or altogether absent. Those characteristics coalesce well with the environment he has entered at Monaco. "I think I'm the oldest at the club! It's weird," jokes Pogba, who at 32 will be expected to be a leader in the dressing room. He deeply hopes that he can be a leader on the pitch, too.

Watch France vs England for free with Lionesses in Euro 2025 action on UK TV
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info The Lionesses are set to kick off their Euro 2025 campaign against France on Saturday evening. England brought home their nation's first significant international trophy, since the men won the World Cup in 1966, when they emerged victorious on home soil in 2022. Now, England coach Sarina Wiegman is aiming to replicate that success three years on. However, she first faces the challenge of beating the team that edged her side out of top spot in their qualifying group. The Lionesses are currently undergoing a period of transition following the loss of key players such as Mary Earps, who has retired from international football, and Millie Bright, who has withdrawn from the competition. Chelsea's Hannah Hampton is poised to take over goalkeeping duties, while Alessia Russo, Ella Toone, and Michelle Agyemang are tipped to make an impact. History appears to be on England's side. No reigning champion has ever lost their opening match at the subsequent tournament, and they've secured victories in three of their last six encounters with France across all competitions. Still, they face a formidable challenge, given that France have not lost their first match in any of their previous nine major tournaments. Drawn into a challenging group, the Lionesses will also have to contend with the Netherlands and Wales, who are making their major tournament debut. Wiegman will need her squad to perform at their peak as they aim to rebound from their World Cup final defeat to Spain two years prior, and here's how you can see their tournament get underway from the comfort of your own home. What time does France vs England kick-off? The Group D match is set to take place on Saturday, July 5, with a UK time kick-off of 8pm. The game will be held at Stadion Letzigrund in Zurich, Switzerland. (Image: AFP via Getty Images) How can you watch France vs England? The game will be broadcast live and free of charge on ITV1 or ITVX, with pre-match coverage beginning from 7pm. All matches from the tournament will be aired on either BBC One, BBC Two, ITV1 or ITV4. Fans also have the option to stream games as the tournament advances via the BBC iPlayer or ITVX. ITV's coverage will be fronted by Laura Woods and Seema Jaswal, reports the Mirror. They will be joined by Karen Carney, Emma Hayes, Vicky Losada, Laura Georges, Jayne Ludlow, Eni Aluko and Caroline Weir who will all feature at some stage, providing expert analysis. What's the team news for France vs England? Wiegman has several decisions to make ahead of her team's first match. Lauren James and Ruby Mace are working hard to regain full fitness in hopes of securing a spot in the starting line-up. Aggie Beever-Jones, Agyemang and Toone are all expected to play at some stage. France have no known injury worries and appear to have a fully fit squad available. England will need to keep a close eye on players such as Griedge Mbock Bathy, Amel Majri and Kadidiatou Diani.

France's Melvine Malard ready ‘to give one hundred per cent' in Euros battle against Manchester United mates
MELVINE MALARD is relishing France's tough Euros opener against England and a few of her Manchester United pals later. It is what the forward expects from her experience of playing alongside Red Devils stars Ella Toone, Grace Clinton and Maya Le Tissier. 4 4 4 The in-form France ace, 25, who joined Man United from Lyon in September 2023, counts the Lioness trio among her mates. Friends she enjoys going to battle with in pursuit of domestic honours in a Red Devils shirt. But at 8:00pm tonight in Zurich, Switzerland, friendship will be put to one side with Malard and her compatriots hoping to topple the Euros holders. Ahead of the clash at the Letzigrund Stadium, Malard said 'It's very special for me because we play England and I have good team-mates in England. 'All the (United) players (with England) are my friends. 'Maya is very strong. Sometimes in training the fight is hard against her, but I love it! 'Ella is a different type of player, very skilled and very intelligent on the ball. 'For me it's very good to play against these girls because we are friends. But I will be giving 100% for France. "This is a very tough group because it's a group of teams with very different styles." Unlike England, France are still waiting to achieve their dream of being crowned Europe's football queens for the first time. While they reached the semis of the last Euros and World Cup, the team are yet to star in a major tournament final. But following eight wins in their last nine international fixtures, Malard hopes this will be their year. The 29-capped France forward and four-time Champions League winner added: 'Our objective is to go far in this competition. 'We need to have a lot of positive energy and not just for this moment (the game against England) but also for the chance of playing in the final. 'I don't feel any pressure. We know what we want and what we can do. 'It's the time for us to go far (in these Euros) because we would like to win at least one trophy and we can do that this month." Along with England, France are in a group of death which includes contest debutants Wales and 2017 champions Holland. However the team are likely to fancy their chances of giving their rivals a run for their money given their recent form. Under head coach Laurent Bonadei, who took charge after Herve Renard's departure last summer, France have been in fine form. Their last loss occurred last December with world champions Spain beating them 4-2 in a friendly. Since then Les Bleues have been thorn in their rivals' sides with Norway, Switzerland, Belgium and Brazil amongst their beaten foes. Their 5-0 friendly drubbing of Belgium in June included Malard bagging a hat-trick as they fired a pre-Euros warning. The forward, whose senior club career began at Lyon in 2017, feels a mentality shift since moving to England has helped her form. Malard said: 'My mentality has changed in that I'm more open than I was before. 4 'I feel very good in England and the Man United fans have given me a lot of confidence.. 'When you listen to people sing your name in the stadium, it's a very good feeling for the player. "We play football for this energy, for this moment and in England I have that.'
