How much money does the Giro d'Italia 2025 distribute?

There are no changes in the economic prizes that will be awarded in the 2025 edition of the Giro d'Italia, which begins on May 9 in Albania. This means that the amount of around 1.6 million euros to be distributed among the different classifications, stage winners, and those who earn points at various points throughout the stages will be maintained.

The Giro d'Italia maintains the economic prizes from previous years

Although in cycling the economic prizes in races are not as important as in other less professionalized sports and teams do not depend on them, everything that is achieved throughout a three-week race is always welcome not only by the riders, whose salaries, thanks to the minimums set by the UCI, are already quite generous, but also by the coaches, mechanics, masseurs, and other team personnel for whom it usually means a significant bonus.
