Salary by season
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 team leader rider for EF Education-EasyPost — Classics leader. That job pays €820k–1.7M a year at a team of this size. Inside that range he sits at 48%, from his results in the two seasons up to 2025 (6 wins, 14 podiums) and his age at signing (29). Every unreported salary at EF Education-EasyPost is then scaled by 0.66×, because the pay bands add up to 52% 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.
