Budgets are journalistic estimates with ranges (Gazzetta, Cyclingnews, Cycling Weekly, Wielerkrant); audited accounts exist for a handful of teams and are listed on the Sources page. Wage bill = sum of our rider estimates = budget × a rider-wage share that rises from 39% (Uno-X) to 52% (UAE), league average 45% (UCI 2024).
16 ProTeams
The second division. Budgets here are thinner-sourced (most are our own estimates, tier T3) and the wage share is capped at 36%; for the smallest teams the UCI minimum wage alone sets the wage bill. ProTeam salaries and rankings →
