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 (#4) places Lidl-Trek into a budget bracket. Top teams pay more across the board.
  2. Rider UCI rank (#23) 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: €8.0M.

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.

T2Daniel Benson's Cycling Substack
Mattias Skjelmose is placed in Benson's Grand Tour 6-10th band of €1M-€1.5M per season (May 28, 2025 Substack) based on his Tour de France 8th-place finish in 2024 plus career pattern of week-long stage race success at Lidl-Trek. Derived placement — Benson does not list Skjelmose by name. Recency rule satisfied: recent GT top-10 + currently elite role (UCI rank 23, 2259 points, 979 in 2025). Young (25) Lidl-Trek's projected long-term GC option behind Ciccone.
