How this estimate is made. In 2025, when this contract was signed, he was a experienced domestique rider for NSN Cycling Team — Domestique. That job pays €175k–438k a year at a team of this size. Inside that range he sits at 54%, from his results in the two seasons up to 2025 (1 wins, 2 podiums) and his age at signing (32). Every unreported salary at NSN Cycling Team is then scaled by 0.79×, because the pay bands add up to 27% more than the team's estimated wage bill. Salaries are set when a contract is signed and run to its end, so results since 2025 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.
