Jumbo Visma has, unsurprisingly, topped the prize money charts at La Vuelta, claiming a total prize pot of €364,985 after its 1-2-3 overall and also winning five stages.

Sepp Kuss won the overall title and claimed a stage victory while his team mate Jonas Vingegaard was 2nd overall and claimed two stage wins. Primož Roglič completed the team's clean sweep of the final podium, also winning two stages.

The Dutch team has now won all three Grand Tours this year with three different riders; Roglič claiming Giro d'Italia, Vingegaard winning the Tour de France and now Kuss claiming La Vuelta.

Jumbo Visma's prize money at the Vuelta is streets ahead of Astana Qazaqstan, which finished bottom of the prize money list, taking home just €4,485 after an anonymous race.
