Salary by season
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 Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe — Super-domestique. That job pays €474k–1.3M a year at a team of this size. Inside that range he sits at 47%, from his results in the two seasons up to 2023 (4 wins, 6 podiums) and his age at signing (29). Every unreported salary at Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe is then scaled by 0.96×, because the pay bands add up to 4% 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.
