How this estimate is made. In 2023, when this contract was signed, he was a second-tier leader rider for Jayco AlUla — Puncheur. That job pays €549k–1.7M a year at a team of this size. Inside that range he sits at 40%, from his results in the two seasons up to 2023 (4 wins, 14 podiums) and his age at signing (23). Every unreported salary at Jayco AlUla is then scaled by 0.84×, because the pay bands add up to 19% more than the team's estimated wage bill. Salaries are set when a contract is signed and run to its end, so results since 2023 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.
