Algorithmic estimateHow is this 2026 earnings estimate calculated?

No reported salary figure is on file for this rider, so the estimate comes from our rubric — a function of team budget and rider UCI position.

  1. Team UCI rank (#5) places Soudal Quick-Step into a budget bracket. Top teams pay more across the board.
  2. Rider UCI rank (#400) 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.

Bracket ceiling for this team: €4.0M.

2026 salary floor for this rider (veteran): €44K — the CPA-AIGCP-mandated WorldTour minimum. Source ↗

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.
