Salary by season
Reported Model
Base salary only: bonuses, prize money and personal sponsors come on top.
How this estimate is made. In 2024, when this contract was signed, he was a second-tier leader rider for Decathlon CMA CGM — GC leader. That job pays €844k–2.6M a year at a team of this size. Inside that range he sits at 32%, from his results in the two seasons up to 2024 (3 wins, 6 podiums) and his age at signing (28). Every unreported salary at Decathlon CMA CGM is then scaled by 1.04×, because the pay bands add up to less than the team's estimated wage bill. Salaries are set when a contract is signed and run to its end, so results since 2024 do not change this figure — they change the market value above. Measured error against the 28 reported salaries: median 25.0%. See the test · Full method · Why the number sticks.
