High confidenceHow is this 2026 earnings estimate calculated?

This estimate is anchored to a published salary figure from a Tier-1 source cited below. The low/high range spans ±15% to reflect the uncertainty inherent in any single report.

  1. Team UCI rank (#10) places Jayco AlUla into a budget bracket. Top teams pay more across the board.
  2. Rider UCI rank (#15) 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.

T1Daniel Benson's Cycling Substack
Mauro Schmid is leaving Team Jayco AlUla at the end of 2026 to join Pinarello Q36.5 Pro Cycling on a three-year deal (2027-2029) reportedly worth around €2 million per year, joining Tom Pidcock at Ivan Glasenberg's project. This is a substantial bump from his 2026 Jayco salary; 2026 earnings are unaffected.
