Primož Roglič helped Jumbo Visma to the top of the prize money standings at La Vuelta, with the Dutch team taking away almost treble what the next most successful team earned.

Jumbo Visma took home €375,750, which was just a few thousand short of three-times the €128,030 that Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert Matériaux won.

First-year WorldTour team Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert Matériaux enjoyed a storming ride at La Vuelta with two stage wins and holding the leader’s jersey for a week with Odd Christian Eiking.

Deceuninck-Quick Step was next in the prize money earnings list, winning €119,750. A big chunk of that was secured via Fabio Jakobsen, who won €11,000 for each of his three stage wins and another €11,000 for his points classification win.

highest prize money earners with €105,960 followed by Bahrain Victorious on
€103,515 and Team DSM rounding out the top six highest earning teams with
€102,820.
