Jumbo Visma ended Tour de France 2022 with the yellow, green and polka dot jerseys as well as six stage wins and, as a result, topped the prize money list by a very long way.

The Dutch outfit - spearheaded by GC winner and king of the mountains Jonas Vingegaard and Wout van Aert who won the green jersey - won €779,750, more than twice as much as the next best squad, UAE Team Emirates which won €322,960. Tadej Pogačar was the team's star name, of course, finishing 2nd overall and winning three stages.

And while Ineos Grenadiers was third in the prize money list - winning the team prize, taking 3rd overall with Geraint Thomas and the Alpe d'Huez stage win with Tim Pidcock - its prize money tally of €240,610 was less than one third of Jumbo Visma's.
