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 neo-pro rider for Movistar Team — Neo / new to WT. That job pays €72k–272k a year at a team of this size. Inside that range he sits at 60%, from his results in the two seasons up to 2024 (0 wins, 0 podiums) and his age at signing (19). 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.
