Think the estimate is off?
UCI pro cycling teams and riders generally do not publicize contract details, so figures here are detailed estimates built from all publicly available data — including reporting from cycling press, statements by riders and team management, prize-money records, and known sponsorship deals. If you have a strong view on this rider's compensation, vote it higher or lower within the rubric range.

T2Daniel Benson's Cycling Substack
Ben O'Connor is placed in Benson's Grand Tour podium band of €1.8M-€2M+ per season (May 28, 2025 Substack) based on his Vuelta a España 2024 2nd-place finish. Derived placement — Benson does not list O'Connor by name. Recency rule satisfied: recent GT podium + still-competitive role (UCI rank 75, 1034 points, 244 in 2025).
