Tadej Pogacar (25 years old) It is a record-breaking and money-making machine. The Slovenian is the number one cyclist in the world and has the precision of a surgeon, as his numbers indicate: except Milan-Sanremo where he finished 3rd, he won all the races in which he participated, and he did not win by any means, but rather by showing great superiority, just remember the four stages that he won the Cycling Tour in Catalonia or the six he conquered el Giro d’Italiaa number he repeated a few days ago in ehe is the Tour de France.
A sporting achievement reflected in the raised amount of money, and that is the flag runner of UAE Team Emirates – with whom he has a contract until 2027 and with whom he renewed in 2021 for six years at a cost of 36 million euros, becoming the highest paid cyclist in the international peloton – got a juicy loot after an unappealable victory in 111th edition of the Tour de Francea race that distributes cash prizes of 2,573,000 euros, a figure worth 593,000 euros.
A mysterious figure arising from the whole of several ‘partials’. For winning the Tour he pockets the stipulated 500,000 euros –Vingegaard, 2nd 200,000 euros; Evenepoel, 3rd, 100,000 and, among the Spaniards, the 55,510 of Mikel Landa and the 31,740 of Carlos Rodríguez– to which we have to add the various amounts obtained from his high performance in the Grande Boucle: 9,500 euros for wearing the leader’s yellow jersey in 17 stages, 66,000 for six stages won, 15,000 for finishing 2nd in the mountain classification after Richard Carapaz , 3,000 for finishing 5th in the green jersey classification which the Eritrean won in more than deserved fashion Biniam Girmay
A sporting hegemony used by Pogacar in sports and economics, which can also be seen on a collective level, because his team, UAE Team Emiratess, first in the classification of the team – it is worth remembering that João Almeida He placed 4th in the general classification and Adam Yates 6th – earned a total of 806,810 euros from Nice, almost 500,000 euros more than its two great rivals, the Visma team from Vingegaard (356,220) and Soudal (248,860); classification in which the Movistar Team won 54,060 euros.
Some round figures in a magical year for Tadej Pogacar, where last May he already deposited 408,951 euros in his account after a great performance shown in his first participation in Italy is spinningwhere he won overall, six stages and was the best in the mountains.
