The usual policy is that all prize money won at the Tour goes into a pot, then is shared equally between the riders and the support staff.
One of those unwritten rules, that we all love so much, is that the winners of jersey competitions, I.e. Yellow, green, polka dot, leave their share in the pot, as they'll get bonuses plus criterium contracts, better contracts, etc.

I'm sure I've heard before that this money often goes to the teams rather than the riders though - so I think they can agree to take one each but they don't necessarily get the same share of it in the end!
