Reported Press estimate Model

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

Press estimate, single source. €500k is what Le Mag du Cyclisme put his current salary at (2026-04); we use it as the figure rather than our own estimate, because a journalist with a source is closer to the truth than a model. It is one outlet and it is not an official figure. Our own model, without this figure, would say €247k. source Sources disagree: L'Essentiel de l'Éco puts it at €150k–350k gross, with no source named and no date. We keep the Le Mag du Cyclisme figure because it is the dated, linked estimate of his current contract.
