Salaries for Tour de France team members can vary significantly based on the team, the rider's experience, and their role within the team. Professional cyclists typically earn between €30,000 to over €6 million annually, with top riders like Grand Tour winners or stars commanding higher salaries. Team staff and support members, such as mechanics and coaches, usually earn less, with salaries ranging from €25,000 to €100,000.

Teams are only who is sponsoring the team at that time, its very hard to quantify what constitutes the same team when team members change, key members leave, the team changes names. A good example is Lance Armstrongs team...originally USPS, then changed to Discovery and then without Lance became Astana! so is that the same 'team'? a better question is which rider won the tour the most: Lance Armstrong 7 times and the team then was USPS/Discovery so does that answer the question?
The Tour de France isn't raced by nations, it's raced by teams of professional riders usually coming from several countries.There may well be a team based in Germany, racing in the Tour de France though, but even the members of that team will vary from one year to the next. So w/o knowing which year you're asking about there's no way even half answer your question.
