With Pauline Ferrand-Prévot's historic overall victory at the Tour de France Femmes, Visma-Lease a Bike were confirmed as the top-earning team by organisers ASO, taking home €76,190 from the nine days of racing.

This included prize money from the Dutch team's three stage wins: one for Vos, two for Ferraind-Prévot, but was mostly made up of the €50,000 received for the latter winning the yellow jersey, France's first in either the men's or women's Tour for more than 30 years.
