Reported Model

Base salary only: bonuses, prize money and personal sponsors come on top.

How this estimate is made. In 2025, when this contract was signed, he was a key climber / super-domestique rider for Soudal Quick-Step — Super-domestique. That job pays €379k–1M a year at a team of this size. Inside that range he sits at 96%, from his results in the two seasons up to 2025 (3 wins, 9 podiums) and his age at signing (25). Every unreported salary at Soudal Quick-Step is then scaled by 0.85×, because the pay bands add up to 18% 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.
