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 team leader rider for Groupama-FDJ United — Classics leader. That job pays €886k–1.8M a year at a team of this size. Inside that range he sits at 48%, from his results in the two seasons up to 2023 (6 wins, 16 podiums) and his age at signing (27). 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.
