Height and weight
Every published figure, with its source. Race weight is lower than an official figure and changes through the season.
| Figure | Value | Type | When | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Height | 190 cm | Team | — | Visma-Lease a Bike rider page official / IDL profile also 1.90 m / Domestique lists 1.87 m |
| Height | 187 cm | Press source not named | — | Domestique - Height and weight of pro cyclists with 190 cm team page / no source or date |
| Weight | 78 kg | Press | — | IDL Pro Cycling rider profile team page gives no weight / Domestique also 78 kg / original source not named |
FTP, VO2max and heart rate
Published figures only. A model of race climbs or a reading of training uploads is an estimate, not a lab test, and is labelled so.
| Metric | Value | Type | Based on | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| VO2max | 75-80 ml/kg/min | Press source not named | not stated · article says origin and reliability unknown | Wielerrevue, 19 July 2023 |
Climbs and power
One row per effort. Where several sources give the same effort, a study comes first, then the rider's own file, then a named analyst, then the press. Analysts estimate power from time, length, gradient and an assumed weight: those are not power files.

| sprint on velodrome banking vs Pogacar | Paris-Roubaix 2026 | >1,000 W | Estimate | Velo (Outside), Zach Nehr, 14 April 2026 |
