  2. Rider UCI rank (#607) positions the rider on that team's pay curve. A top-3 rider on a top team earns near the bracket ceiling; a domestique earns closer to the bracket floor.

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.

Daniel Benson (May 28, 2025 Substack) explicitly names Esteban Chaves alongside Jack Haig as riders 'paid for previous success but haven't quite delivered in recent years for personal results' in the Mountain super-domestique tier of €700K-€1.3M per season.
