400 euros

is what you get just for finishing the TDF. that's laughable. some guy working as a janitor over a 3 week period will make more money than that. no wonder the sport is out of control. the riders are totally dependent on outside sources of income.

The riders get a salary from their team

The prize money for the whole team is pooled together and split as bonus's between the riders, staff etc.

A single rider does not get paid 400e for three weeks work.

Do you actually have any idea at all how cycling works?

is that prizemoney of something?
coz i'm pretty sure most riders would be getting paid more than that per week by their teams?

the minimum salary for a neo pro is 25000EUR. A Pro is something like 36000EUR

The average salary of a rider on the squad of a Tour de France team (the squad of ~28, not the team of nine) is around 200,000 Euros (according to the UCI)

Question asked and very clearly answered.
