Reported Model

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

How this estimate is made. In 2023, when this contract was signed, he was a key climber / super-domestique rider for Picnic PostNL — GC leader. That job pays €344k–917k a year at a team of this size. Inside that range he sits at 3%, from his results in the two seasons up to 2023 (0 wins, 1 podiums) and his age at signing (20). 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.
