No, not that much money. I believe that first prize for the overall winner is 400,000 euros. There are additional smaller prizes (e.g., money for each stage win, etc.) at stake as well. Typically, the money that each team wins over the course of the three weeks (including the overall winner's prize) is thrown into the hopper and divvied up among the entire team (including, I believe, shares to the team mechanics, soigneurs, etc., although those shares would be smaller than those given to the riders themselves).
I got another question. Why is a government agency funding a sports team???? Especially when the USPS is look a gazillion $$$$$ every year?
thats 'LOSING' a gazillion $$$$$....sorry.
